Get up, Pussy

First of all, I see a whole lot of spandex, but I don't see a rifle. Total waste. And what are those? Tears?

I think we all need to pull a page from the book of the Chinese. Did anyone see those Chinese figure skaters last night? The pair where the girl fell with one leg going north and the other one skating away towards the east with the knee all twisted in the wrong direction. Yeah. She could hardly put any weight on it. Then, she shed one tear, forced out a wobbly smile and freaking skated on to win the SILVER medal.

Here's Hao Zhang's response to his partner skating through the fact that five minutes earlier she mangled her leg:
"Gradually after we restarted, it became more clear in our mind how we could continue," he said. "We were challenging the extreme power of human beings (to handle pain)."

Challenging the extreme power of human beings to handle pain. Yeah. I don't know. I think he means the extreme power of Asians to handle pain. Asians have a higher tolerance for pain. See photo above.

I developed this same theory years ago in college, but didn't have better proof until now. Once. Once. I thought it would be cool to get those plastic fingernails that all the girls have. They are great and all, but eventually they have to come off which I was not prepared for. I went to a Korean nail salon and asked for them to be removed. I was told that normally they are soaked off in a nice, warm bowl of acetone so that they can slowly, painlessly dissolve away. You can imagine my surprise when my girl pulls out a pair of pliers, grabs the end of my nail and rips it off, dry. Oh my god the pain! She seemed to not understand why I kept pulling my hand away and wimpering.
