Primo Uomo
Remember Howard Dean's cringeworthy victory yelp while he was running for President last time around?
Men are weird when they're all fired up.
This looks like bathing suit opera to me.
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensiero.
Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero.
È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno — non liba amore! *
Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind.
Always sweet,
Pretty face,
In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying.
Always miserable
Is he who trusts her,
He who confides in her — his unwary heart!
Yet one never feels
Fully happy
Who on that bosom — does not drink love!

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensiero.
Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero.
È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno — non liba amore! *

Dude, if there's such a thing as "miracle on melted ice", this was it. The french were favored and were talking lots of smack ("we're going to smash the Americans"), and their anchor leg was being swum by the world record holder for that distance. When Jason Lezak got into the pool for the US anchor leg he was a full body length behind the fastest swimmer on the planet. To win the race he had to swim that distance faster than anyone had ever swum in the history of mankind. And with his final stroke he out-touched the French speedster by the length of his fingers.
Friggin' AWESOME.
My daughter on my lap, I totally screamed in her ear just before I hurled her into the air when I saw it.
At least they didn't do the guy version of Brandy Chastain and pull their pants off.
