1. 1. I wonder which is more wind resistant: Tumbleweed or Ariana Grande. I worry about that little pixie being picked up by a stiff breeze and never being seen or heard from again.
   2. So I’m not hip anymore. I wouldn’t recognize Dua Lipa or Doja Cat if they were French kissing me.

   4. If you drop something and watch it, it lands right by your feet and can be easily retrieved.

Moral of the story: Kids, stay in school.
   5. At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on the possibility of seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt running naked through my kitchen.
   6. However, from the “One door closes, another door opens department”: Due to an unbelievable confluence of events, during a tour of Buckingham Palace, I once saw Queen Elizabeth II patting herself dry after a sitz bath. I marveled at her pink royal ass, and I say that tongue in cheek.
   7. Has this happened to you? Sometimes, if I’ve unintentionally touched my iPhone screen in strange ways while trying to get it out of my pocket, I’ll look at the screen and I’ve somehow gotten so deep into the iOS architecture that I have the ability to launch nuclear strikes anywhere in the world. Sometimes I access a video of Jennifer Love Hewitt encouraging me to, “Get a life, dude.”
   8. From the Unintended Consequences Dept: At the Pray-it-Away Conversion Therapy Clinic, the instructors somehow got the pages mixedup and inadvertently taught the class in reverse order. When they were through, all the teachers had accidentally transformed themselves from straight to gay. Church elders are blaming it all on, “that degenerate Beach Boys’ song ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ that opened up this whole can of worms.”

Olympic Factoid:

Q. What nation is always first when the parade of countries marches out?

A. Greece. They began the whole Olympic idea way back when they wore laurel wreaths on their heads. The rest are alphabetic.

6. Naked and Catheterized – If you like this sport, urine luck. I mean, if you like this sport, you’re in luck.

8. Competitive Eating (aka Speed Eating) – In the hot dog eating event alone, Chowboys and Chowgirls will consume a 4-lifetime supply of pig polyps.
9. Snow Writing – A Winter Olympic favorite. After drinking 64 oz. of water and using only their “on board” apparatus, competitors must accurately write the phrase Winter Olympics in the snow. Early trials have shown that although men have better penmanship, women are better spellers. Heck, I’d pay to see that. Competitors must be careful not to run out of “ink.”  
10. Synchronized Snow Angels – Could be an excellent opportunity for The Vatican to finally field a team
11. 2-Person Mixed Bobsled Insemination – Another Winter Olympic event where a man and a woman desperately try to conceive a child as they frantically cling to one another while careening down the icy bobsled track. It’s hard to both steer and cohere, so they have to make their 3 minutes really count.

Olympic Factoid that is not true:

In the Popeye cartoon the Olympics were referred to as the Olive Oylimpics
