I love the Olympics. I think most people at least like the Olympics. I mean, you might have a complaint with some aspect of the Games, but overall, the once-every-four-years sporting events are pretty fun to watch, aren’t they?
Cara doesn’t like the Olympics. I should really clarify that statement by explaining that Cara doesn’t like to watch any sporting events on TV (with the noteable exceptions of Slamball and MotoX) so her Olympic dislike really stems from the fact that the Olympics are a sporting event. It seems that she has a special dislike for men’s water polo, which features “silly hats that look like baby bonnets.” She does have a point.
But even though Cara doesn’t like to watch the Olympics, she is a good friend so watched with me when I had the clicker and she had no choice. In typical Cara fashion, when we were watching gymnastics, she said:
“This sport is based on Minoan Bull Jumping.”
Chris was there when she made this claim, and we both know better than to believe every word that Cara says, so we pretty much disregarded it. Until she sent this email:
“Read it and weep people. Note the ancient drawing. http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/MINOA/BULLJUMP.HTM”
She was right! Which can sometimes be the worst thing of all.
