The WaPo is giving out its own Olympic medals. Example:
Best Johnny Weir QuotesOh, and I love this one:
Gold: "I never felt comfortable in this building. I didn't feel my inner peace, I didn't feel my aura. Inside I was black" (after finishing a disappointing fifth in men's figure skating).
Silver: "I could very likely wake up and feel horrible, like Nick Nolte's mug shot" (before skating his long program).
Bronze: "I dragged myself out of bed, had my Starbucks, put on my self-tanner and went from there" (after winning the national title last month).
Things We Still Don't UnderstandYeah, what's with that commercial? And, with all that time NBC spent on skating, they should have figured out a perfectly brilliant way to teach the new scoring system and make us care about it.
Gold: Curling rules.
Silver: New figure-skating scoring system.
Bronze: The Lenovo ThinkPad commercial.
