removing some of the white stuff that was in front of my house. I had to do it so that people could walk their dogs along the sidewalk. This seems to be a world wide phenomenon, particularly in Commonwealth countries, but I’m not gonna talk about poltics, not gonna do it! Suffice to say I hate shoveling snow, I’m loathe to do it again, but I will probably have to as long as live around here. The weekend was extremely cold, but perhaps it is easing up soon, I don’t know.
There was a sporting event on Sunday, but I have no idea who played who, and frankly my dear, I don’t care. My focus at the moment is choosing a band name and Ricky has been busy harvesting candidates for that position. I told him I’ve never named any worthwhile band that I was in, so go for it. I will reveal some of them at the end of the week and possibly the winning one.
The Epstein scandal has spilled over into British politics, hence the screenshots here. I’m leaving no comment, since I don’t care about any of it. The visuals are interesting enough. I went to the shops this morning, which was interesting too. Let me put it this way. I may as well have gone on a world tour, all the sights I did see. I took my police car because I don’t want to have to take my nice car to the carwash again. I may not even drive it until winter has finally gone away, if it ever will.
In perhaps a promise of things to come, “Olympic organizers are investigating with “maximum attention” after a spate of medals have fallen off their ribbons during celebrations on the opening weekend of the Games.” The clasps on these things aren’t too good. “Don’t jump in them. I was jumping in excitement, and it broke,” women’s downhill ski gold medalist Breezy Johnson said after her win Sunday.
It’s not crazy broken
“I’m sure somebody will fix it. It’s not crazy broken, but a little broken.” Ok got it. Don’t celebrate winning. Your medal will probably fall off onto the floor. Let’s face it the Olympics has never been the same since they stopped nude wrestling.
At least they’re wearing hats
For ancient Greek athletes, nudity functioned as something of a national uniform, an intentional contrast to their Persian rivals, who traditionally found it against decorum to appear naked. Competing in the nude (often while covered in olive oil) was also seen as a way to show off status.
Some of the Paris gold medals turned to shit
In fact, the words “gymnasium” and “gymnastics” both come from the Greek word “gymnasion,” which refers to a place to train or exercise naked. Those games were held every four years at Olympia, a site in Western Greece that had a famous temple to the god Zeus. They started in mid-August and were part of a religious festival dedicated to Zeus. Read about it here.
I don’t see gymnasion taking hold for the Winter Olympics.
I’ve done my social work out for the day getting rid of the snow, and so now I can concentrate on things that concern me.
Good Day
