If You Try and Don't Succeed, Thigh and Thigh Again
LatestI don’t know about you, but all of this Olympic Thighlight coverage has really motivated me to get in shape and when I say “get in shape,” what I actually mean is stuff my mouth with generic cheese puffs, while looking at photo after photo of incredibly athletic and attractive individuals who haven’t so much as glanced at cheese puffs, generic or otherwise, in the past two years. Still, I’m feeling pretty good about things (though that might just be a case of the puff swoons) and I hope you are, too.
Let’s get cracking ’cause Olympic Thighlights wait for no one.
