Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympics: #4 Romanian Gymnastics



Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympics: #4 Romanian Gymnastics 
Guess what? 2012 is not just the year of the Olympics. It is also the moment that happens once every four years when someone actually notices that Romania exists. 

Questions for You:
Who is the most famous Romanian you know?

Exactly, they are all gymnasts.
Exception of Nikolae Ceausescu, the late notorious sadist. 
There you have it. Romania is the land of gymnastics and people that starve each other.

However, this is a time once every four years when Romania has the light shining center stage for nothing more than talent and ability. I will certify that the Romanian gymnastics squads will take the field this year, and they will put on a spotlight performance.

It’s just what they do…aside from starving people.

I remember the first time I watched Romanian gymnast, Nadia Comaneci land the first perfect 10 in gymnastics history at the 1976 Montreal Games, and I was nothing more than stunned.



Who knows what will happen this year?

  1. Sorry to breake it to you, we don't starve ourselves or each other for that matter in Romania. And, yes we pride ourselves with Nadia, Lavinia, Simona, and all our great Gymnasts. If Caroli wouldn not have come to the US, you guys would never had won anything in gymnastics.
    Stop being so condescendent about any other nation. After all you enslaved blacks for 200 years, starving them, not us!!!

    1. Yes, USA did enslave black people...you are RIGHT to criticize USA (of that time period) for that, the same way it is right to criticize the Ceausescu Regime, as well as other internal problems of Eastern Europe....it's through criticism that someone or something can evolve and not repeat the same mistakes of the past.

    1. I don't want to fight. I just wanted to play scrabble and get her drunk on wine coolers. #3rdBaseToniyeet.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
