Is it just me...
or are the Winter Olympics the most pointless sporting event imaginable? I get the Summer Games(running, jumping, lifting, wrestling, swimming) they are all about faster, higher, stronger; the paragons of human athletic achievement and seeing just how far we can push the human body. The Winter Games on the other hand seem to be mostly a collection of things one would do only if they were drunk and had lost a bet(curling, sliding down an ice ramp on your face, being male and wearing sequins). Now, I admit as an unabashed hockey fan, that I do enjoy the hockey tournament and snowboarding seems like fun; but otherwise I could sleep for 2 weeks and not miss a thing(except Scrubs of course).

And did you see the Scrubs with Turk doing Poison for the airband audition? Of course you did. One of the many moments of genius on that show.
