Olympics

[aggienaut]

   So admittedly I haven't really been following the winter olympics at all. Luge looks pretty fun, when it isn't lethal. And ski jump, man those kids are crazy! And then there's this curling thing, which they're always going on about when I flip through radio stations. Ostensibly it's just so god damn boring and unathletic that they can't believe it, but they sure do love to talk about it!
   personally I think it looks like they're all getting more exercise than is involved in an average baseball game but hey.

   And since I use yahoo for email, despite the fact that they keep trying to make the interface crappier and crappier, I get to see the crap they regard as headline news every day. Usually it is utter crap and I adblock the related image just because I'm offended they think it's news.
   One of the stories they cycled through today, however, had this image:



Suddenly I'm a lot more interested in curling!!

Okay well not enough to actually learn how to operate a television but my point is that Curlist Madeleine Dupont is one fine specimen! And is that teammate her twin sister?? This sport is automatically awesome!


   Which brings us to the longstanding olympic tradition of trying to identify the most attractive olympian ... and then going on about how attractive she is much to the annoyance of whichever girl I'm involved with at the time. :D

   (though now that a google search for Logan Tom brings up lots of overproduced glamour shots that are gratuitously attempting to be sexy, instead of ye olde actual shots of her playing volleyball I am 95% less attracted to her)


   So are there any winter olympians this year more attractive than the delightful miss Madeleine Dupont?

Older sister, actually. Well I'm assuming anyway. Wikipedia doesn't say they're sisters, but they have the same last name.

Madeleine was born in 1987. The girl in the picture with her is Denise Dupont, who was born in 1984.

Yeah I saw somewhere it mentioned that they were sisters. Until I realized that I was like "damn those Danes all look the same!! ...and I'm not complaining!"

nummers. :)

Noooooooooooooooooo

There's a movie about curling called Men with Brooms, it is really fun, and co-stars Leslie Nielson!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I don't know who that is but sounds silly! (:

[soothethemuse.livejournal.com]

Ummmm....

Yep. She's hot. And any girl who can comfortably get into that position gets an A+ in my book. LOL Rawr.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Lolz :D

Word has it that all of the women's curling teams are packed with hotties.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Damn I'm going to have to tune in. (:

Blugh. I HATE overproduced shots. Shots like that where it looks like they probably went over her with photoshop, who knows maybe did a dozen otther photoshop tricks, got the lighting perfect.. it just doesn't look real. d:

[soothethemuse.livejournal.com]

sheesh... picky picky. I didn't say they looked *real*. LOL

If you want real looking women and pics of them, you have to specify. Men thinking we're all mind readers and stuff. :)

:D

I dunno, I thought some of the lady snowboarders were pretty cute, but I'm still a few days behind on my Olympics watching.

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

well she is hot but as a girl Evan Lysacek

(there are better pics but...)




LOL LOOK AT ME THE ONLY ONE DISCUSSING A GUY

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

Numm. Thank you so much for this photo!

[cookie-chef.livejournal.com]

You don't like Lindsey Vonn? I think she's beautiful.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Nah I think she looks extremely mundane. d:

I've only watched about a half hour of the Olympics so far, and that was the downhill slalom (I think.) So instead of watching comely blondes playing shuffleboard with tea kettles, I saw sexless, leotard-clad skiers flying over bumpy ski coarses, ensuring that they'll have knee and back problems for the rest of their lives.

Curling is kind of interesting to watch (as long as it involves comely blondes), but in any venue outside of the olympics it would probably look ridiculous. I mean, imagine walking by a curling competition at a park or frozen pond; I think my first reaction would be to laugh so hard that I'd probably fall down.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I heard on the radio this morning that an Orange County curling league had recently been formed..!

[abe-lincoln666.livejournal.com]

Have you ever seen the "curling scene" in the Beatles' film "Help"? When I first saw that movie, around age 8 or so, I had absolutely no idea what they were doing with the tea kettles and brooms; I thought it must either be some kind of weird, British religious ritual or just the Beatles being as absurd as they could.

I wonder who invented curling anyway? Probably some old retired guy in a colder climate who wanted to play shuffleboard, but discovered that the court was frozen over.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think I read it was invented in Scotland. Same people that got bored and invented golf. Figures. (:

[impoetry.livejournal.com]

Lol yeah, I've been kind of obsessed with the Denmark Woman's Curling team the last few days myself....

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I haven't even looked up the other members of the team... ::resists urge to do so immediately:: damn you now you've got me wondering!

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

Curling makes everything better. Hotties and curling make this the best thing ever.

I am on yahoo as well - have you been getting more spam emails recently? Since the new year, I have been getting lots more than I used to.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Definitely for awhile there I was getting a flood, I think it's calmed down as of late but what I HAVE noticed is now emails I wanted to get are showing up in my spam box more d:


What I really hate is for awhile every time I logged in a box would pop up asking me to use their messenger, and now to send a new email I have to click a pull down box where "send instant message" is the FIRST option and "send email" is the second. They're really trying to push that crap on me d:

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

There was a "women of curling" calendar or something kicking around a few years back that I'm far too lazy to search for.

[applespicy.livejournal.com]

I think Lindsey Vonn is just about the cutest thing ever. In fact, I think most of the female US skiers are pretty damn fine.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Lindsey Vonn does nothing for me at all. She looks like a dozen other girls I see every time I go out to the bars. d:

Kiira Korpi

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Okay well since you all didn't bring me any more suggestions I perused the blogosphere myself. I found pretty slim pickins in terms of girls that actually looked attractive to me.

And you know you can't trust these people's lists because none of them listed Madeleine Dupont! So clearly they suck.

All I have to show for it is one Kiira Korpi, a Finnish figureskater

[colt-4-5.livejournal.com]

I think Wayne and Garth's "Shwiiing" would be most appropriate for that picture. :D

[bozotkutya.livejournal.com]

This one is in Hungarian, but the pics speak for themselves

The thing is to vote for the most beautiful :)

I think most of them beat your Madeleine ;-)

[morlith.livejournal.com]

Go check out the female snowboarders. I don't know which is more stocked with gorgeous women: the curling teams or the snowboarders. Yowza!
