My New Crush is a . . . Javelin-a ?

I love the Olympics. They bring the world to me . . .



. . . and make my heart go pitter-pat.

Of course, the Olympics are full of wonderful contrasts: victory/defeat, rich/poor, youth/age and, appropriately, there is ugliness to offset Ms. Franco's beauty.

That is to say, Bob Costas' hairpiece . . .



. . . which makes me throw up in my mouth.

However, please note: if you zoom in close enough, you can see that Bob's toupee is actually the inspiration behind . . .



. . . the Bird's Nest. I have yet to confirm my suspicion that the NBC nickname for the arena was actually an inside-joke about Bob's hair, another Olympic icon, which unfortunately has preceded him in retirement.
