The most Scott Baio-themed post you'll ever get out of me. Probably.

I didn't get to see much of last night's Olympics--yet--but here's what's on my mind. (Because I'm sure you've been sitting at your desk wondering "what's on tornadia's mind?")

** French snowboarder Francois Boivin has the best name, at least as pronounced by U.S. Commentators: Fran-swa Bah-vah. It sounds like gibberish foreign name. Like Bob Loblaw!

** Snowboard cross. When I first heard about this I thought it sounded like the most ridiculous X-Gameification of the Olympics yet. Now that I've seen it? I LOVE SNOWBOARD CROSS. Four snowboarders race down a track and shove each other around. When they come over a jump all at the same time and their arms are out all "be the crane" style, it's like an awesome Olympic parody of the Matrix or Spy Kids or something. Plus, crashes!
I've learned a little something about myself this Olympics: I've got a lot more bloodlust than I realized. And I've got a short attention span. How can you watch cross country skiing when you've experienced snowboard cross and short track?

** American figure skater Evan Lycek looks like a young Scott Baio. Scott Baio...who plays Bob Loblaw.

That's it. Enjoy the weekend!
