Guinea Pig Olympics: More Entertaining Than The Regular Kind
If there is one thing that absolutely bores me to tears, it is the Olympics. If you couldn’t tell from my rambling about video games, comic books, Legos, and movies, I’m the exact opposite of an athlete. Seriously, typing this blog post is making me hungry.
