One thing especially sweet about [Olympics spoiler]...
Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 11:14 PM by Withywindle
MIchael Phelps's achievement...as the daughter of a Baltimorean, it kills me with delight that every time that son of Maryland stands up on that podium, he hears our national anthem and mouths the lyrics written by Francis Scott Key watching the defense of Fort McHenry...in Baltimore.

The only way it could be better for us is to have John Waters reciting "The Raven" while serving the whole crowd crab cakes. :D

1. You might want to change your title to spoiler.
Just in case.

But what a race! I was cheering like a cheer leader in my apartment. I am sure I woke up the neighbors.

I like how humble Phelps is about all of this :)
