In my youth ND used to have paper IDs with no picture. So the intrepid would cut and paste numbers to greater advantage, then go and laminate. Not that I would have ever done anything like that, mind you.
I think he’s got more event, slalom? maybe, so some hope left. Regardless, he’s a cool character, have ya been to his website, pretty “trippy” as we used to say. Words of Bode wisdom on video clips.
My driver’s license came with a convenient boo-boo when I was seventeen: it said I was 21, all the way back through the computer system. Took years to straighten out.
The drinking age was 18 in many states when I was young so I could just go across the river from Missouri (21) to Illinois (18) and I also went to college if DC where it was 18. So I only needed my fake ID for a couple of years.
I thought your “niece’s ads were rather innovative. The guys look like they’re having a great time doing them. My favorite so far is the 4 man bobsled on the couch. Reminds me of some parties… ooops censored.
I’ve only seen the one for Apollo. I need to start looking for them. I’m so happy for her. She’s basically an unemployed dancer working a bunch of part time jobs and then she gets this opportunity.
and it looks to me like those guys have got the routines down well. I have no doubt it takes a lot of practice to make the goofiness of it work. And a whole lot of creativity to come up with the ideas for the script.
This looks suspiciously French to me … am almost betting it comes from a New Wave era film of the late 50’s or early 60’s … But having lived that culture a bit myself when younger, it’s just soooo damn (stereo/mono)typical of that scene. A fun scene too, I might add … drinking and arguing philosophical and political points all night long, ah … my idea of a good time!
As a non Olympics obsessed/interested denizen here, the references baffle me … LOL. Last time I remember watching the Olympics, was the opening ceremony in Atlanta, and only because Mickey Hart wrote the opening theme that year. Sad, eh?
Did ask my hubby tonight who the heck was this Bode guy, and he said he was some hot downhill skier with a bad boy attitude. Hmm, have I been missing something here?
The guy in that picture doesn’t look old enough to drink.
Did they show Shawn White’s runs earlier tonight?
I think this is the beginning of repeats but I only had this on in the background earlier.
shhh…thoughts like that are a sign you’re getting older…
have anything to do with it?

Sorry about your guy tonight.

No sense in straightening it out until you WERE 21.
My thoughts exactly.
the real question is did ya have any fun with that situation.
Oh yeah.
The drinking age was 18 in many states when I was young so I could just go across the river from Missouri (21) to Illinois (18) and I also went to college if DC where it was 18. So I only needed my fake ID for a couple of years.
criminal background get into the legal profession?
You mean it’s not a prerequisite? 😉
hey
oops my finger slipped.
I’m sure it was an accident…kind of like Cheney shooting whittington today, huh?
Lack of requisite intent
Nah, can’t do it to ya.
I was never caught 🙂

My boys think those ads are funny.
She said the Tobaggan ad isn’t the funniest. So I don’t know what’s coming down the pike. Hey its on.
well I’d guess that’s the group they’re aiming for, and a better recommendation than any coming from me could be.

She kept saying Remember its NOT supposed to look good. Its supposed to by Goofy.
We told her not to worry, we were sure we would get it.
I can’t believe one came on while we were talking about it. Weird.
I can’t believe she thought she had to explain the goofy part.
She’s 23. In some ways she sounds like Shawn.
Well, not that bad. But, she thinks we’re ancient. For goodness sakes, I’m her MOM’s age.
actually it’s a subset of American English, called mall-ease, and you know, like, you know, like etc.
just ’cause it’s guys to begin with, then the age of the guys and the clothing styles, and the expressions, etc.
But on one where they were hand clapping it seemed like they were pretty proud they’d gotten it synchronized, which in a way is hilarious too.
Just tell her the gang says she done good.
I will. I’m going to e-mail her tomorrow.
And speaking of tomorrow. I’m leaving you two for the night. See ya tomorrow.
I’m outta here too. Sorry NDD, but I’ a couple hours ahead of you!
That’s all right, I’ve thinking of a little rehab on the going to bed time anyway
Just toddling off to bed after a loooong day…the fact that I’m too tired to eat may be the only plus.
Oh, and when discussing Olympics, have pity on those of us on the Left Coast who are a few hours behind you on the highlights… 🙁
Night folks…
Oh I’m sorry — I forgot you guys were behind us in time. You’re always so much more progressive in other ways? I’ll try to remember tomorrow.
I’m sorry too. I’ m not usually up late enough to give it away.

Cheers, friendly folk!
One of Bode Miller’s sites is here if you start clicking on stuff you can get to the short video clips, and you get some Bode philosophy.
Then you can decide for yourself, whether he really is the “bad boy” the media is trying to make him out to be.
I just get a kick out of anybody who is willing to give these pontificating millionaire mannequins a kick in the butt now and then.
