It was all very Olympical and Lenten (and it turns out, they're the same thing really)
Regarding Lent
Graci: I missed the first day, so I'm just going to do an extra day at the end.
Terroni: (laughing) Uh...I don't think that's how Lent works.
Graci: Why not? It's really just about seeing if you can do it.
Terroni: (hysterical laughing) Yes. That is what Lent's about.
A few minutes later, while watching skiing
Terroni: Come on now girls. In the spirit of Lent, let's git er done.
Graci: That's right! That's what Lent's about.
During curling
Graci: You would be good at this one because you're a clean freak.
Graci: The tension is mounting...
Terroni: Can the tension really mount in curling? I mean really?
(By the way, two google searches and a wikipedia article later, we still don't understand curling.)
During the skeleton
Graci: How do they steer?
Terroni: They use their chins.
Terroni: It's like they said, "Here's your piece of metal and your helmet. Now, go." But some people looked at it and said, "I'd actually like to crawl inside my helmet for this." And they said, "We have a sport for you. It's called the bobsled."
More Terroni: And, you know, no one from the bobsled should get a medal. Their medals should go to anyone who doesn't die doing the skeleton. In the skeleton, if you survive, you get a medal.
Terroni: Hey, what's she doing out there? Didn't they just say that has a baby? People with babies shouldn't be allowed to do this.
Graci: Who should do it?
Terroni: Criminals.
During bobsledding
Terroni: I would want to be the one hiding in the back.
Graci: You'd have to be pretty trusting to be back there with someone else doing all the steering.
Terroni: You'd have to be a hell of a lot more trusting to be back there if I was doing all the steering.
Graci: True.
During Apolo Anton Ohno's race
Terroni: What's on his chin?
Graci: Pubes.
During some other country's national anthem
Terroni: They should put up the words so we can learn the songs.
Graci: Uh, no one wants to hear you sing their country's national anthem.
Terroni: HEY.
Graci: You know it's true.

my first reaction to seeing Apollo Ohno this olympics was, "Oh shit...he didn't shave that thing off since last time?"
Excellent recap. Now I don't have to watch any of the Olympics that Justin recorded.
I have missed most of the Olympics and I feel terrible. I remember the last time they were on, Liv was in first grade and I kept saying, "Just think, the next time we see the Winter Olympics, you will be a FIFTH grader!"
And now she is a fifth grader and we have watched practically none of it.
And good fucking hell...the next time they are on, I will be the mother of a 14 year old! Holy cow.
I feel a bit the way you do about all the sleds and most of the skates but I adore watching the downhill ski-ing.
I love that picture of the skeleton riders steering with their chins, thanks!
