fly tomato fly

Like The Flexible Generalist, I thought it strange that the Olympic athletes marched in at the Opening Ceremonies to 70s dance music. From the many folk dance festivals I’ve attended, it’s always made blatantly clear that other countries have their own unique sound, so why this random disco mix? And if Torino is a club-hopping Italian paradise, why not some electronic, wordless, techno?

I doubt I will have much time to watch the Olympic coverage every night, even though I’m a huge fan, but with Michelle out, I guess the most entertaining American there will be The Flying Tomato.

To me, he [aka Shaun White] looks a little more like the flying orange, or even a mini-Ronald McDonald, but oh well…
