2014 Winter Olympics with Chris - Week Two

Here is week two...not quite as many comments as week one, but I think it was because I watched a lot of Figure Skating by myself.  However, there are some gems here.  I hope you enjoy this, and mark your calendar for the Summer post in 2016.  

1.  Watching Men's Figure Skating that was recorded at the end of week one.  I say, "If America can't win, I want him to win." He asks, "Is this Japan?"  I say, "No.  This is Canada.  Japan fell on his butt."  He says, "Thumbs up to falling on the butt."  I respond, "You can't say funny stuff on this...this is from week one."  To which he responds, "Well, I'm sure someone will fall on their butt in week two."
2.  While watching Jason Brown (a male skater), "I LIKE her!"
3. Men's Skeleton announcer says, "Oh, he's slower than yesterday."  Immediately he says, "Your mom's slower than yesterday."
4.  "I like all these Skeleton guys cuz they look like Daft Punk going down the ice."
5.  Chris hadn't seen the Russian Police sing "Get Lucky" yet, so I pull it up on YouTube.  As we're watching, I tell him how, on their interview on The Today Show, they said that they've performed almost everywhere around the world except for the USA.  He said, "What?  Why?"  "Because they haven't been invited," I say.  "Well, someone needs to do that.  WE love this stuff!"
6.  Sunday, beginning of week two, Matt Lauer is hosting..."Where's Bob's eyes?!"
7.  Australian Torah Bright is announced in Snowboard Cross.  "Oh no!  Not Torah Bright!  I want to punch her in her big teeth...but I kinda like her."
8.  Referring to Arials, "They're all so rigid.  Seems like you could just build a robot to do this."
9.  Latvia is doing really well in Bobsledding.  "Well, what else does Latvia have but to slide down an ice tube in a hot dog mobile?"
10.  Watching our USA guy in Snowboard Cross, "I'd prefer that he just get in 1st and then just stay in 1st for the whole run...that's what I'd prefer."
11.  Announcer says, "This is De Le Rue from France.  It's amazing that he's here because just a month ago he was in a medically induced coma after a crash."  Chris, without hesitation, "I was in a medically induced coma after all the Ice Dancing."
12.  Referring to the Half Pipe events, "I'ts kinda like a test.  If you complete it all well, you can get a 95. But if you miss and fall on the first trick, you can get like a 5."
13.  Behind the scenes interview with Slalom Skier Mikaela Shiffrin:  Chris says, "So they're diagramming, on paper, how to do slalom...so basically they're just drawing 'S's'?"  
14.  "What?!  An encore Figure Skating performance?! Why don't we get to see an encore Speed Skating performance?  Just a guy going around as fast as he can, just for fun!"  
15.  "I don't mind Japan."
16.  In a Speed Skating event, Poland is behind The Netherlands by a time of 6.66..."666!  Oh, they're definitely going to lose."
17.  "They should have Snow Running.  You could have Downhill or just flat, like Cross Country.  Just picture a guy running downhill?  Wouldn't that be entertaining?"
18.  Announcer says, "That was a very solid run for Ligety."  Chris says, "He's 5th!!!!  Be solid-er, Ligety!" 
19.  Watching some 4 Man Bobsledding, "Hey, if you know you're gonna be in a skin tight bodysuit, lay off the spaghetti!"
20.  Slalom Skier Mario Matt is introduced..."Oh yeah, Mario Matt.  That was the guy 2 doors down who was really good at Super Mario Brothers."
