“The Americans? We’re going to smash them. That’s what we came here for.”
- Alain Bernard [France] on the 4x100m Free Relay
Oh … the poor, poor Frenchmen. They looked so sad after we came from behind and snatched that gold medal from them. So sad, and so pitiful, but I do not pity them. I fart in their general direction!
That’s what they get for talking smack to Americans, especially when there’s an Austinite involved†.
Footnotes- † Do you know that Austin is represented at the Olympics by more people than many countries? [↩]
Oh man I was screaming at the tv “SWIM FASTER SWIM FASTER REACH REACH REACH REACH REACH THE WALL!!!!” :grin:
Oh yes, there was screaming here too. I think we even bothered the Insane Neighbors, and it was late at night. They gave me the stink eye this morning.
But what a great race and an exciting finish! We showed those French smack-talkers!
