Hell, yeah - just the *thought* of Dan trying... *shudder*.
*nods* Horror, thy name is bad american-australian accents.
I had friends who live in Sydney who in the lead-up were referring to the Olympics as "The Fortnight of Hell" - good to see Dan and Casey using the US equivalent...
Hee!
I don't suppose this story will cover the Olympics? Because it would be very fun to see that. Especially Sports Night trying to get their heads around the Cathy Freeman thing when they can't work out the basics of cricket...
I was planning on, y'know, glazing over it. I mean, I lived in the country, and I managed to ignore most of it.
Hmmm... The Cathy Freeman thing, was her winning and running with the double Australian/Aboriginal flags, wasn't it? I'll have to see if I can work that in.
If you've got any other Olympic ideas, or at least quick references I can use for them writing intros/whatever, I'd love to hear them. *g* (Hey, whatever saves me researching my own stuff is good for me.)
(And don't you just wish we had Dan and Casey around to comment on the Stevens-Thorpe thing? Imagine the snark!)
Hee! Yes, good point. Although, really? Like anyone expected any different. You'd never hear the end of it if Stevens didn't drop out. But, yes, I can just imagine Dan and Casey:
Dan: He's going to drop out. Casey: He won't drop out. D: He's going to drop out. C: He qualified. He's not going to drop out. He'd have to be insane. D: No, I think he's just sane enough to drop out. C: *rolls eyes* Uh-huh? D: I think he's sane enough to be very frightened of the insane fans. C: He's not going to drop out.
...a few weeks later...
D: He dropped out. C: I can't believe he dropped out. D: Told you so. C: Yeah, but... he qualified. D: Two words for you, Casey. *holds up two fingers, counting down as he speaks* Insane. Fans. C: *sighs* Yeah. D: He dropped out. C: ... Hey. D: What? C: Do you think if Stevens tripped into the pool next time, he'd get automatic qualification? D: *sniggers* It's worth a shot.
