Bookbooks in the Olympics

"Grandpa, you been watching the Olympics?"
"Just a little bit....there was this real pretty Chinese girl singing
on opening night and she had a good voice. They later said that
the actual singer's prettiness was not up to par...so they had a
"prettier" girl lip sync it. This was so that the world would think
that all Chinese girls were pretty and could sing. I think her
name was Millie Vanilli.
And there was this American hurdler that was favored
to take the gold...but she stumbled and subsequently lost....
They said that her name was Lolo Jones...for real.
I'm actually surprised they allowed a Lolo on the team.
Once again, the Philippines basketball team was a no show.
Actually, they showed...but as usual they were late.
The uniforms were pretty good. Barong tank tops with every
color in the rainbow. Jusi material of course. Their names
on the back of the jersey had the obligatory silent "H".
And their shorts had the sponsor printed on it....'Salonpas'
in the front of the shorts and "San Miguel" on the back.
One player's headband said, "I brake for dogs". The real
funny part was when they interviewed the Ilocano Beach
Volleyball team. It was funny cuz how they kept saying
'beach' with their Ilocano accent.
'I um prum Ilocos Norte. My pay-borit bitsh flayers iss de
tim prum Brazil. Nagpintas. Agyaman ak kabsat.'"
