  I'm gonna come to your house on the back of a horse with abunch of villagers carrying torches most of whom dislike monsters

  1.  Now that the Olympics are over I can share these links about the Olympics and not feel like I'm jumping on that whole Olympics bandwagon.  I should probably throw a big thank you out to the people at mental floss.  First up is a collection of 5 Olympians who sold their gold medals.

  2.  Here's a collection of the 11 craziest events in Olympic history.

  3.  Here's a collection of 4 times Olympians refused their medals.  Gosh, the #1 is so amazing.  It's no wonder they refused them.

  4.  Here are 6 stories of Olympians who stored their medals in interesting places.

  5.  Remember the Dan and Dave ad campaign?  Well here's the story.  I remember it quite well because my dad had posters all over his shoe store and it all became a big nothing.

  6.  Here's a collection of Olympic defectors.

  10.  Someone alerted me to this this evening.  You can buy Dunder Mifflin paper.  Now if I could just spend a weekend at Schrute Farms.

  12.  Here's a fun quiz to see who you should vote for.  It's called iSideWith.  I was and wasn't shocked with my results.
