Did anyone watch any of the Brazilian beach volleyball matches? Apparently, Alison is nicknamed "Mammoth," and when he is tired he lumbers around in the way that I imagine mammoths lumbered around the plains. Basically, he is the best.

Wow, I cannot even believe how hilarious this gif is. Prior to seeing this I was not even on board with the idea that Ryan Lochte is a sexy douchebag. Now I must admit that he is indeed a national treasure (or perhaps the an internet treasure?).

I am def with you on more tiny shorts. Perhaps something like AFL players wear?

While more Dalhausser is always better, I actually kind of like the men's beach volleyball shirts. They remind me of 80's muscle shirts which somehow seem appropriate for beach volleyball.

I don't know if he is trolling, but it is the case that Britons refer to Murray as British when he wins and Scottish when he loses.

No this makes total sense. It is def not the case that some of the major relationships in Pride and Prejudice are between parent and child (Lizzie and Mr. Bennett, Lydia and her moms). Also, Binchy for sure does not explore any relationships in Circle of Friends that are not romantic. She doesn't depict various…

Would you mind leaving me Richard Kahui, because he is just too beautiful for words.

Why did he turn it down??? Dominic West would be an awesome Mance Rayder, and 6 months in Iceland would have been super fun. He could have drunk tons of ice wine and eaten fermented shark. Now whoever ends up with the role, no matter how good, will just be non Dominic West.

Chris Hoy is the definition of Thighlights.

Oooh, in! Marry: obvi the adonis (and future doctor!) Adrian; Screw: Phelps bc his body is so strange and circus like; Kill: Lochte bc, well I assume you read this post.

His face and also Chad Le Clos's (and his dad!) celebration when he beat Phelps the other night.

Erin, I have the cure for Lochte. His super dreamy, and seemingly delightful, teammate, Nathan Adrian. Seriously, look at that smile. Adorable.

Apparently in the Star Trek universe, you get more handsome with each beating. Actually, this might explain why rugby players are so attractive.

Actually she is saying that when a strange man places his hand on the small of a woman's back in a crowded venue it is inappropriate touching regardless of if he is attempting to hit on her or get her to move. She is right. And if the man wasn't trying to be inappropriate, he would touch the woman on her shoulder or…

I love that Tim Riggins's shorts are about a 1/3 of the size of everyone else's in that photo. I think this should be a rule that is generally enforced. The Riggs can only wear a 1/3 of the clothing that other people are wearing in his immediate vicinity.

I can't hate on Mariah Carey for her crazy demands, because if I were in a position to make such demands I would also require puppies and kittens at all times.

Well if we are going to post rugby players who forgot their pants (and shirts), then allow me to contribute NZ's Dan Carter

This reminds me of the evening I spent hanging with a wallaby. Question: is it wrong to befriend someone, who you wouldn't otherwise choose to spend time with, just to be able to play with their adorable wallaby and huskies?

One of my English professors has this friend who wrote "Pride and Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen." One of the scenes involves Charlotte and Mr Collins engaging in some serious S&M, so basically it is hilarious.

So this isn't really related, but my friend used to sublease an apartment and the man's last name was Catalano. His first name began with a J, and the door had J. Catalano on it. So basically, I nerded out every time I went to her apartment.
