sturdy as a dog on...well...ice

as i was eating lunch, i tuned in to the olympics on msnbc, to get their ratings in the double digits (hey, i'm all about the people). of course, the time i decide to tune in they're not even showing an actual event, but rather just news about the olympics. okkkkkkkkk. BUT, it was almost worth it. they were talking about "ice dancing," which is somehow different from figure skating (your guess is as good as mine, both sound equally painfully boring). they were talking about how lots of people apparently fell in the competition last night, then showed some footage. well let me tell you, not much is more hilarious than watching well dressed, snooty, nose-high-in-the-air "ice dancers" hit the ice and hit it hard. at least they were already on the ice...that probably killed some of the pain.

and now, some skating humor:

1) Oksana Baiul, Olympic gold medal figure skater, over the weekend lost control of her car and was arrested for driving under the influence...According to police reports, her blood alcohol level was .16, .16, .15, .16, .16, .16, .16, .15 and .14 from the East German judge.

2) did you hear why tonya harding divorced her ex-husband? he kept hitting on other skaters.
