Straight Pimpin': "I'm Talking About Mountain Dews Baby"

"I'm talking Mountain Dews Baby!" -What do you think the CNN reporter thought of that? Priceless.

Shaun White is the king of the mountain and one of the only people I've ever seen that looks nearly identical to Carrot Top. Regardless of his appearance, did you see his gold medal performance Wednesday night? His 'for-fun' victory lap that garnered him an even higher score? 


I know, I am geeking out a lot right now, but my adolescent angst was steeped in snowboarding in New Mexico: I was one of those uni-sexual snowboarders (you saw the girls right? you couldn't tell what they were once the helmet was on) falling down continuously- one time I face planted so bad my board hit me in the back of the head while it was still attached to my feet {yes, I called it 'my board'} and knocked my sunglasses off my face. 

It's real hard.

Needless to say, I appreciate and respect Shaun's talent. You need to watch his gold medal victory lap  below. It is spectacular.
