08.07.08

Okay hombres and chicas, Senor Gong here about to go all loco on your asses. For those of you who don't speak spanish, my name means Mr. Gong. For those of you who do, my name means Mr. Gong. Respect it. Feel free to ring a nearby gong to feel the wrath of mi nombre...that's my name bitches...Respect it.

So last night thowin a few back and watchin the tube and I see a commercial for the olympics. 08.08.08....Woooooowwwwwww! What a day to start the olympics on! I had a friend that got married last year on 07.07.07 and made this huge fucking deal of it. They got married at exactly 7PM, and had seven bridesmades and groomsmen, and seven readings and seven chestnuts placed on every plate, and so on. It was god damn ridiculous. I think they should have had a contest to have us guess what one thing didn't actually come in the number 7. I got one for ya! I had seven too many drinks and puked in seven places you don't know about! I guess they weren't alone though. There were like 707,070 weddings last year on that day...more than the whole rest of the fucking summer. Why do people give such a shit about these things?

I have a question. What do you think they were doing on 08-08-1908?? I can tell you what they were doing in France...why can I tell you this? wikipedia bitches...anways, they were watching Wilbur Wright fly his airplane for the first time. Somehow I doubt they were like(picture thick french accent) "wi wi, voo my gawd, not only are weee seeing flight for the very first time, we're doing it on 08-08-08...how seeembolic." What is this shit? Are we somehow going to remember these olympics for the rest of our lives because they occured when all the eights alligned in perfect harmony? Hey....psssst...did you know that if you turn the eights sideways they make the infinity sign. Do you know what 3 x infinity is??? FUCKING INFINITY! And you know what that means? Everything!! and yet, NOTHING...But I bet if I made some t-shirts that said "Infinity Olympics 08.08.08" and had a big picture of my dumb ass with two thumbs up and the caption "Senor Gong loves the Olympics" and maybe a good list of the symbolism of the number 8 on the back, I'd make a fucking fortune just for pointing out the irony. And even if I didn't make a fortune, I bet people would look back on it and say, "man, you remember that stupid shirt Senor Gong came out with at the 08.08.08 olympics...that shit was crazy....and ironic" So what's my point you say? The olympics are friggen awesome on their own, and if people really need a tacky 08.08.08 campaign just to get behind it and show their support for their country...fuck'em. We certainly don't need that kind of motivation to get fired up for football season(since this is supposed to be a football blog)...over a month before it starts. Here's to tomorrow and the start of a new olympics.

Feel free to steal my shirt idea.

Out
