The Spice Girls reunited to perform and they were big fun. I was expecting more from Take That, but where the hell was Robbie Williams? And where was Duran Duran and Erasure? Why? These questions plague my thoughts on a daily basis.
So who was Jimbo’s 2012 Olympics Gold Medal Woofer? It was a really tough call this year. I mean Phelps did a great job breaking the all time medal record and all that, but he is not technically “woofy” – only occasionally “adorkable” and that is not enough to qualify in my heat. And what about Chilean gymnast Tomás Enrique González Sepúlveda and his irresistible ‘stache/wink/wave combo?
Who can top that? Wait – don’t answer that…
Or howabout British long jump gold medalist and SuperGinge Greg Rutherford?
Again, it was a tough choice but the 2012 gold medal for woofiness must go to American swimmer Nick Thoman for overall beardiness, willingness to experiment with the ‘stache, and a deep voice that will hold my interest for decades to come:
Jim says:
OMG Rutherford = (NPH + Britain)^Ginge
I am to die.

For revenge, the U.S. should totally roll out Tori Amos and make her sing “The Waitress” next Olympics we host.

LOL Your thoughts about the closing ceremony exactly mirrored my own. I totally missed the Kate Bush bit, loved the Spice Girls and wondered where Robbie and Duran Duran were.
