Best uses of “yank-centric” in a comic ever. Perhaps best uses of “yank-centric” in print ever. You continue to advance the English language, KK. You make us proud to be your fans!!!
Now if they could stop throwing out competitors for using pot instead of giving them a medal with a special ribbon showing they won with a handicap, it’d be perfect.
BTW – I highly recommend anyone download the BBC Sports channel of the opening ceremony. It’s nearly 6 hours – and the 2 hours of filler at the start is superb. And extra bonus, the talking heads don’t sound like morons critiquing the thanksgiving day parade in NY.
I’ve decided if I ever go to the UK, I’m going to visit the BBC and give them a year’s worth of license fees. I’ve downloaded at least a year’s worth from them over the years – and their coverage was the topper.
Hey, Keef– you may enjoy an e-mail I sent to some friends and family yesterday that sort of resonates with your point. (My adult niece didn’t get the joke, though.):

I keep seeing these advertisements in the TV listings for the “XXX Summer Olympics”, but every time I tune in it’s just a lot of boring-ass G-rated sports crap, and no end of pretentious and smarmy hype.
OK, maybe there’s some PG13-rated sports crap if you count gymnastics.
I’ve been watching for hours, and so far I haven’t seen a single thing that deserved to be pixelized, blurred, or masked with a blue dot. It’s painfully anticlimactic in every sense of the word.
What a gyp!

There is something wrong with you.
@ Sean I work hard.

@ Lil Bro..
Ha! I completely missed it was the XXX Games! I’m changing the title!
150,000 condoms….now THAT’S an Endurance Event!
thinking about it, it might not be that great for everyone involved. After all these are highly competitive people who all want to finish first.
