Four Year Fans: On this warm Olympic night

There's something in the air on this warm Olympic night. 

Do you feel it?

You Totally Look Like Shawn Johnson

Sometimes I am blown away by the reach that Olympic gymnastics has into the lives of normal, everyday people.  I'm still shocked that people know who Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin are, because I am so accustomed to being the only freak on the block who really cares about gymnastics.  But then I remember that once every four years, the likes of Al Trautwig and Tim Daggett visit our homes and poison the minds of children. 

I'm always surprised to see a mainstream Shawn Johnson.  I mean, I know she's a scrappy bitch who is working HARD for every minute of fame, but it's still weird to me that Sally Housewife knows who she is.  Also, Sally Housewife's kids.  Sally Housewife's kids with access to Twitter.

I guess the way kids gain self esteem these days is not by participating in sports, or the theatre club, or bydoing well in school.  Nope, the better, faster way to get it is to post on Twitter endlessly about how you TOTALLY  look like Shawn Johnson. 

Let's remind ourselves what Shawn Johnson *actually looks like.

There appears to be three separate types of girls who truly believe they look like Shawn Johnson. 

1.  Ugh, EVERYONE tells me I look like Shawn Johnson.  As if!  I am so insulted that people are supposedly saying I look like a girl that everyone says is hot.  

2. People say I look like Shawn Johnson.  I acknowledge that.  Please look at all my pictures and tell me what you think about them. 

3.  I was told I look like Shawn Johnson.  Boys think she's hot.  I understand that, by proxy, that also makes me hot.  Success!

It should be noted that none of the above appear to resemble Shawn at all. 

If I ever have kids, they're not touching the internet until they're 21.

*might not actually look like that.

Twitter Does Not Sleep

So neither should we. 

Behold.

Let me know if this ever gets boring or horrible.  Because at least I'm having some fun.

Bela Karolyi: Twitter Edition

Another day, another chances to exploit the wonder of Twitter.  Let us waste no time.

Who knew so many people tweet about Bela?  Color me surprised.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Olympic Trials: Twitter Edition Part Two

It's the gift that keeps on giving.  Four year fans.  Is there anything sweeter?

What is the plural of geniuses?  Genui?

Not to be outdone, "professional" media outlets have also taken a stab at horribly butchering their information.

Who knows what will happen in London?  The one thing we know to be true is that people will continue to share their vast wealth of gymnastics knowledge.
