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.
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.
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."
Mmmmm pecan pancakes.... Hey, whatever happened to Greco-Roman wrestling? 'Cause that was totally way gayer than even the synchronized butt-fuck diving
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.
i finally know where to get good olympics coverage.
phew.
HIlarious. lol
Snort.
Damn, you learn something new everyday.
I thought my old lady was giving me a countdown before her headache announcement.
*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...
Huh? Sorry...I was a little distracted by all the cute butts.
I have never, ever, seen the crotch of pants go SO FAR UP!! Like it's a man cave!! oh...uh...yeah...
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.
yes, indeed informative! ^^ what a great discipline and of course...well.. i just found a dictionary in this posst.. stumbled for its cute content.^^
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...
Now that track and field is on things just got much easier to understand. They run, and they throw. ta-da.
Please don't tell my husband that ass slapping is in any way tied to being patriotic. He will never leave me alone.
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.
i really like pancakes.
The only reason I watch woman's beach volleyball, the awesome signals.
love it! love it!
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.
It was incredibly hard work. Grueling, even. All of those asses...
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?
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.
I will absolutely be trying these out!
Best commentary!

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