I'd like to think I have a snowball's chance in hell, but I'm having a very hard time accomplishing my Olympic curling arena in my garage. It's the only event I have a chance at. I'm happy as hell to see that he made the podium, that is a huge personal and national accomplishment. (It's also a major national embarrassment that American men have just checked out of the international scene when it comes to Oly weightlifting, but I'll leave that for another day).

About time we get a medal in weightlifting. Why are we not better at weightlifting? Is it a money thing?

Have I considered break dancing? Hell yeah, I've considered break dancing, but I've been trying to learn to moonwalk since Thriller came out and it's never happened. However, I can do a pretty awesome floor worm.
