The Olympics Mean Discipline!


Watching the Olympics can be very inspiring and very educational. Fascinating cultures, amazing stories of dedication and triumph, and the icing on the cake is that it's some very cheap porn, piped right into your living room. Patriotic porn is good for America, what with what the economy flailing and all. So I am doing my part. Citizen Deb reporting for service, America!

My darling boyfriends Batman & Robin say that synchronized diving is the new Ft. Lauderdale. Two-by-two, the pretty men of the world scale the steps up to the board like it's a fantasy ark built by Noah after he came out and realized the animals stank but wouldn't an island of pretty men to hump be grand. He named that island Key West, and gay Christians lived happily ever after.

Seriously, it really can't get much gayer than two absolutely beautiful V-shaped men, waxed, greased and manscaped to Barneys and back, locked in precisely-timed synchronicity while they sail together, defying gravity-time-space, a mirror to the other, flawless grace falling, until at the same micro-moment they powerfully plunge below the surface to the depths and then to burst up again, reunited in the glory of their artful twin bodies. It's Speedo-tucked nuts times two. (Now that's a tongue-twister!)

But more importantly, the real sport of the summer Olympics is Women's Beach Volleyball. Nothing says summer like the beach, and specifically two women having sand celebrations while rolling their coconut-oiled slippery selves into each other. Here's something to say again and again if you need to inspire yourself in the middle of a boring meeting: Misty May Misty May Misty May Misty May. It's fun to say 'Misty May'--a lovely onomatopoeia, like "whisper" or "chime" or "cunnilingus."

Be warned, beach volleyball is VERY confusing. First of all, there's the bump, the set, and the spike---all of which are different moves. I know.


Secondly, to be patriotic you have to be able to tell the U.S. players apart. Kerri Walsh is the 7-foot-tall blond Amazon with REACH. If you were flying with her to a honeymoon in Vegas, and she got bumped up to first class as an Olympian but you didn't, it would be okay, because she could reach all the way back to row 7 to fondle you. So Kerri = Elastigirl. Misty May is the dark-haired hottie who presented her ass to Bush and said "Mr. President, you wanna?" And he did wanna, but then realized he shouldn't, so he brushed her sandy back instead. I would have gained so much respect for Bush if he had given Misty May a business-like, flat-handed slap firmly on her cheeks right there in front of God, the Chinese and NBC. No wonder he can't manage our country--the man can't even slap an ass.

Back to learning. Now that you can tell the team apart, you are ready to learn the harder part of volleyball: hand signals. Right before the serve, the player in front, who is called "the booty," gives the player in the back, called "the chick in the back" a signal. The signal tells her what game they are running. It took a lot of emails back and forth, but I now understand the secret language of beach volleyball hand signals.

For example, notice the fingers on player 1, named Sweet Cheeks:

That signal means: Slap my ass five times, and then give my lower right cheek a fire pinch to make it sting right where I'm pointing.


This one, as you can see, is a different hand signal. If you went up to her and did the 5-1, you would be WRONG! Let's look at what she is signaling.


It turns out this one means: Give my left cheek a tiny bite while you spank the right one and make me beg for another.

See how they know to ask for just the right thing? That's training, folks. That's discipline! Last but not least, there's this signal, a very special command:

That means: Just one spanking, and then two pancakes, please. I'm starving for some carbs, and I can't wait to get home to Deb and MS because they make these pecan pancakes, oh my god, and then we all like to crawl back into bed and spend all Sunday there, until I go workout and Deb and MS stay in bed, and then I bring them dinner and we all live happily ever after!

And that's why I'm a patriot, because every day we show the world that it's okay to dream big. Go USA!

This cracked me up. I feel so informed now. ;-)

I loved this- It's fun to say 'Misty May'--a lovely onomatopoeia, like "whisper" or "chime" or "cunnilingus."

xup said...

Mmmmm pecan pancakes.... Hey, whatever happened to Greco-Roman wrestling? 'Cause that was totally way gayer than even the synchronized butt-fuck diving

Sparkliesunshine said...

I never knew. Olympic Volley Ball? I thought that was just something drunk people did at the shore.

This was hilarious though. Thanks for the lesson.

Damn, you learn something new everyday.

I thought my old lady was giving me a countdown before her headache announcement.

Ellie said...

*SO* glad all that's finally cleared up. I thought it was American Sign Language, and they were deciding what bar to retire to after the match...

Athena said...

Huh? Sorry...I was a little distracted by all the cute butts.

dana wyzard said...

I have never, ever, seen the crotch of pants go SO FAR UP!! Like it's a man cave!! oh...uh...yeah...

SUEB0B said...

Thanks for explaining this all to me. It makes MUCH more sense now.

Have I ever told you about the time I got to swim with the US Olympic Men's Water Polo team? I did? About 55 times? Well, it was THAT memorable.

WeblogLearner said...

yes, indeed informative! ^^ what a great discipline and of course...well.. i just found a dictionary in this posst.. stumbled for its cute content.^^

Kelley said...

I found myself watching the beach volleyball in quiet admiration. Day-um.

The boys? Blech. With their shirts and pants and covered bodies...

Now I have Misty May going through my head...

Deb on the Rocks said...

Now that track and field is on things just got much easier to understand. They run, and they throw. ta-da.

Loralee Choate said...

Please don't tell my husband that ass slapping is in any way tied to being patriotic. He will never leave me alone.

Suzy said...

So far, your blog post has been the only part of the Olympics that hasn't put me in a coma.

Over it, party of one.

gwendomama said...

i really like pancakes.

Self Defense Rob said...

The only reason I watch woman's beach volleyball, the awesome signals.

missburrows said...

love it! love it!

onthecurb said...

You are hilarious!

I appreciate all the hard work you put forth in deciphering those hand signals. When to bite, when to slap, and when to order up pancakes...kudos.

Deb on the Rocks said...

It was incredibly hard work. Grueling, even. All of those asses...

Wendy said...

What is wrong with the one in red? Why are her ass cheeks so far apart? Is it some new birth defect? That must be it! Poor girl, what does she do when she suddenly realizes she needs to shit and she's miles from any toilet?

Mr Lady said...

You can just prepare now for the dry cleaning bill coming your way. And perhaps the furniture cleaning bill, too. I'm pretty sure I peed all the way through the couch.

Brittany said...

I will absolutely be trying these out!

Nancy said...

Best commentary!

Backpacking Dad said...

You forgot the best part of beach volleyball: the rain, which not only slicks the players up, but essentially turns the court into one big mud-wrestling pit.

Tootsie Farklepants said...

I'm not even lying, I JUST defrosted some pancakes and ate them for lunch.
