Tuesday Quickies: Olympic Edition

Welcome to Don't Do That's weekly link round up, in which we bring you everything from the ridiculous to the sublime. Why? Because Tuesday is the lamest day of the week, and we could all use a quickie.

  1. I love the look on the curler's face when he hears the crowd. "Ever have that happen before?"

  2. Hi there! Thanks for forwarding readers on to my baby names site. I had a great time interviewing Kikkan (and hope everyone had fun reading it, too). My interview with US Olympic Hockey player Gigi Marvin is coming up...
