hot
Posted: August 9, 2008 Filed under: Uncategorized 14 Comments »Me: Look at that. Why are those athletes in the Olympic games wearing mothereffing bikinis?
Wes: Because it’s beach volleyball.
Me: Only it isn’t, actually, because they are in BEIJING.
Wes: Because it’s hot.
Me: Because they’re hot.
Wes: Hot.
Me: Look at them. They’re athletes. There is no reason they should be wearing bikinis. They don’t need to be wearing those.
Wes: (ogling) They do. They do need to be wearing those.
Me: They are athletes in the Olympic games and those bikinis are demeaning.
Wes: Not demeaning. Not demeaning at all.

Crap. Did I miss beach volleyball?? I still have torres to look forward to !
Beach vollyball is an excuse to go unload the dishwasher.
I actually had the same “bikinis?” conversation via im with a friend. we have NO idea.
Did you know there is a **maximum** size of the bikini bottom? The side width can be no greater than 7cm! Apparently there is the option of a one-piece bathing suit but they say it pulls up too much…
Here’s a really horrifying photo for ya: http://olympics.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshowpics/msid-3345294.cms
My husband likes women’s beach volleyball too, no doubt for the ::ahem:: athleticism displayed.
I like beach volleyball almost as much as I like reading blogs about beach volleyball. It’s all just an integral part of the Olympic ideal.

(You know, I think all that stuff about needing the click-throughs for ad revenue is a line. You just wanted to make us feedreaders come back and comment!
i guess the men don’t get as hot as the women, since they got to wear shorts and a shirt. or maybe that sun just wasn’t quite as hot only when men’s VB is going on….heh.
Strange that this post is missing the conversation that followed this one by about 20 minutes…
Bri: Those male swimmers are much um, healthier, than some of those other athletes.
Wes: All the athletes are fit but I’m guessing a lot of them are not healthy.
Bri: Well, not all of them look as healthy as Michael Phelps or his teammates. They look very, very, uh, healthy.
Wes: You mean hot, not healthy, I think.
Bri: Uh, no, I’m definitely talking just about their health.
LOL. So very true. (I side with Bri here) Don’t you think they’d get like sand-rash-burn on their stomachs when they do those dives? One pieces would be so much better. Hell, with that reasoning why don’t the 16 y/o gymnasts wear bikinis? They’re wearing LONG SLEEVES!
Wes- wouldn’t chicks in bikinis on the balance beam or floor exercise be so much ‘hotter’?
I’m with Wes. The sheer athleticism of the beach volley ball makes it the best event of the games.
We had the same conversation this weekend. I can’t think if anything more miserable than being sweaty, covered in sand, having part of a bathing suit in my crack and trying to focus on playing while worrying about whether my thighs look fat. The other thing I don’t understand is why the divers rinse off when they get out of the pool from a dive. Is there something I a missing?
The bikinis make these women look ridiculous! Why are the men wearing shorts and shirts…don’t men play without shirts in real beach volleyball? Let’s call it what it is – Title 9 – yeah, right.
Oh, do not even get me started on beach volleyball. Demeaning doesn’t even begin to cover it. It is seriously a distinct sport b/c there is sand and bikinis???
