Here’s a Classic Sean-O Moment^TM, originally posted 2 years ago, on my Birthday…

Since the 2008 Beijing Olympics are in full swing and on everyone’s mind, I thought I’d share my brush with Olympic Greatness.

At the 2004 Special Transplant Olympics in Minnesota, my wife won a Gold Medal in tennis. So rather than skipping out early (as we had done in ‘02), we stuck around for the Closing Ceremonies with a special sense of pride. At these ceremonies, Olympic champions Chris Klug and Carl Lewis were among the speakers.

While my wife would have liked to have met Chris for sure, we did not see him after he left the podium. However, as we were leaving the (kinda lame-o) dance party at the end of the event, I noticed a tall, slender-but-ripped man in a very snug shirt approaching us in the hallway. It was none other than 10-time Olympic medalist Carl Lewis.

He seemed engrossed in conversation with a small entourage. That didn’t bother me one bit. I walked right up to him with a cheery “Hey Carl! How ya doin’?!” I was greeted with a lukewarm response. Still (naturally) undeterred, I motioned to my future sister-in-law Cathlin to get ready for a photo. I turned back and asked Mr. Lewis: “Can I get a picture, Carl?!”

His response?

A stern “Reeeal quick.”

And so it was. I wrapped my arm around his back (probably the most musyular I had ever touched), smiled, and Cat’s quick trigger finger captured the moment! The look on his face says it all — this is truly an athlete who adores his fans.

And one with perhaps the cheesiest. web site. evar. (but it seems like they’re working on it in ‘08…)

Ahh, the memories. I remember my Class of 1970 Yearbook, like it was just a few minutes ago. Don’t recall where your memories are stashed? Then just Yearbook Yourself.

UPDATE: The user submissions are starting to come in. Here is “Lindsay”, Class of 1952.

Got a funny pic to share? Post a link in the comments or send it in via electronic mail.

President Bush really enjoys the view, watching Kerri Walsh, a leader of the U.S. Olympic Women’s Beach Volleyball team.

Lindsay in full patriotic gear marching in (well, sitting in a Radio Flyer wagon, eating candy throughout) the Ocean City NJ 4th of July Parade.

Linds loves the beach at OCNJ in her cherry bathing suit.

Imagine looking out your front door and seeing this.

That’s what happened with Lori Mehmen of Orchard, Iowa.
What a shot!

Looks like the laws of physics gave him plenty of “leeway”… groan

A few weeks ago we took an overnight trip to OCNJ — just to get away, and to root on David, who ran in the Ocean Drive 10 Mile Run (and finished in the top 100).

Chilly OCNJ Weekend

Yo, you want your picture on the internet?! Just slip me a fiddy…

What a “deal.” -snicker-

UPDATE: The Google censors have removed the image (from all angles) the day this was posted! Luckily the folks at Gawker took a ton of screencaps for posterity.

This depiction of Facebook is almost entirely accurate (careful kids, the language is quite NSFW).

The Smoking Gun has the photos of “Kristen”, the high-priced call girl who brought down a governor.

Yowza.

Emmerson gives Lindsay a test drive.

… it was only a matter of time. Umm, less than 2 days.

PhillyBurbs.com has the David Hernandez male stripper pics.

He actually sounded pretty good, by the bye. Especially for doing a Celine Dion song, for crissake. Still, it’s David Cook — my pick from the beginning — FTW. They could release his(?) version of Hello on iTunes next week and it’d be a hit.

UPDATE: And here it is (iTunes link).

By popular demand, here is my photo collage from last night’s lunar eclipse:

Here’s one of my first shots of the Lunar Eclipse 2008, taken just after 9pm ET from just outside of Philadelphia:

I just posted it on Digg – if you like it, Digg this.

And add to del.icio.us. Thanks!

We’ve had Katherine McPhee on Season 5, then Antonella Barba last year. This year on American Idol there is no clear standout babe, but there are a handful of ladies to keep male viewers interested. One of those is Amy Davis. And PhillyBurbs.com has posted a shrine gallery of photos of Ms. Davis. Not a handful. Not a dozen. But 175 photos on 30 pages — everything from backstage candids to show screencaps to sultry model poses.

Remember, it’s someone’s job there to collect and organize all this… and to write the captions. Poetry in motion:

• “What’s this crap? Let’s see more SKIN!!!!!!“
• “I see belly button lint.“
• “Old dude goes BOOOOOOIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!“
• and the oh-so-eloquent: “Hooray for boobies!“

Maybe they should hold some sort of… I dunno… caption contest for this? ; )

Who do you think is the AI babe this year? 

Pics are posted from both of Lindsay’s 2nd birthday parties. She really is lucky to have so many people that love her. And we’re beyond lucky to get to call her our little valentine.

Perhaps you’ve seen her on CBS?!
