Sled Macabre

I must admit I was quite excited when I saw on the TeeVee listings that we would be treated to an Olympic event called "Skeleton".  With no idea what it might be, I was pretty sure that it would be at LEAST macabre, and quite possibly horrifying.

What a disappointment.  I'm not sure how it's different from an event called "Luge", which we were already saddened to discover is NOT a spitting contest.  The high point of the whole thing was the great "helmet controversy".

Helmets?  Srsly?  We don' need no steenkeen helmets.  It's called "Skeleton" fer gawds sake.  It's a BADASS sport.

Or maybe not.

Let's head back to the Curling venue. See if Shuster's still riding the pine...

    Sad but true. I did like the way their feet flopped against the ice, but because I thought it was goofy, not cool
