hot chip x threadless
The dudes at Threadless recently held a contest to design a glow-in-the-dark Hot Chip t-shirt (with the theme being “Made In The Dark,” of course) and that skull-and-fairy-emblazoned joint you see up there was the winner. Our friends at Cornerstone hooked us up with one (and some other stuff) to give away. Unfortunately, it’s widely known that I’m the worst in the world at contest ideas, so how about you just leave your favorite current Olympian in the comments, and I’ll pick one winner based on a set of as-yet-undetermined criteria. Winner gets one t-shirt, a copy of Hot Chip‘s rare Normal 7″, and a $50 Threadless gift certificate.

Lebron James
so nasty
the chinese one
i’m a size large
that chick in the shirt…she’s heck of fly
Mike Phelps, he is a swimmer for the USA
mlittledallas@gmail.com
Khan “Bob” Malaythong USA Badminton. Come on…dude hits a mean shuttlecock!
I really wish I was there for Alicia Sacramone. I’d be consoleing her so hard right now.
Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian. You know, “wrestler”, hot chip? Plus he threw away his bronze medal, which is pretty trill.
“I really wish I was there for Alicia Sacramone. I’d be consoleing her so hard right now.”
comment of the year
Jason Lezak
Was that incredible or what!
May & Walsh…I'd hit it.
jonathan horton, the 5’1″ gymnast, has my porn-star name (middle name + street you grew up on) … this totally fucks with my mind
Nastia Liukin, because she so very much owned the uneven bars.
natalie coughlin. hottie swimmers are the best.
Alexander Artemev
He shouldn’t have even been on the team (he was a second alternate), but he performed surprisingly well during the men’s gymnastics qualifiers, and really became a rock of the men’s team when they couldn’t stop screwing everything up. Very inspirational.
sjnvrz [AT] yahoo.com
Can I say Jesse Owens, even though it’s not current? Yay for showing up Hitler’s eugenic Aryan theory!
dyocco at gmail dot com
The swimmer Liam Tancock. Because I’m immature and have the sense of humor of a third grade boy. :P
After having to suffer through living in Canada for a year I have to say Mike Brown. He finished fourth in the 200 Meter Breast stroke by 9/100ths of a second. Preventing Canad from claiming their first medal.
Abhinav Bindra, Gold Medalist in the 10 meter air rifle competition from India, who brought home the first individual gold medal for his country since the modern olympics were started. Gotta love those little stories of triumph
“Tancock” is legitimately funny no matter how old you are.
I’ll go with that legless sprinter guy FTW
My favorite Olmpian would have to be Mirza Dzomba of Croatia. The guy has just been dominating in handball recently. He has an arm like the Hulk and just a total badass on the court.
Tang Yongming of China…he’s truly inspiring.
spains basketball team for being a bunch of dumbasses
jonas01radio@gmail.com
Michael Jordan
Cullen Jones, the only African American swimmer on the US Team! dude is quick and he teaches other kids to swim
Xue Chen
Lopez Lomong: the US athlete of Sudanese origin who carried the flag for Team America. This is about as close to a protest as we’ve seen in the Olympics (and a good way to shine the light on a serious issue).
Regardless if he wins a medal or not, bringing light to a horrible tragedy is worth a little bit more than the 8 or so medals that Phelps wins (in my eyes at least).
Simon Whitfield
triathlon kicks ass
Hiroyuki Tomita
Chris Bosh. Hilarious, great play and he looks like a dinosaur (bonus dinosaur quality: plays for raptors). Solid.
James Blake, he’s kicking ass in tennis, and he’s a total underdog badass!
Oh man I want that shirt!
gabe@iheg.com
Ryan Hall, Big Bear’s hometown hero. Ryan is an Olympic marathon runner born and raised right here in Big Bear Lake. Thats where I work so it’s like we’re family.
plus I need a t shirt. I’m walking around like Randy from Trailer Park Boys
size x-l
shawn johnson….because she reminds me of little miss sunshine
Gotta be Anthony Famiglietti, because as i heard on NPR yesterday: The top U.S. steeplechaser, Anthony Famiglietti, says he hopes to win a bronze in Beijing. Why not gold? Because he doesn’t cheat and says some of his competitors do. He credits his success to no longer eating pizza twice a day.

Mike Phelps is absolutely phenomenal but my favorite sport to follow is soccer so my pick is Ronaldinho from Brazil.
micaela6955 at msn dot com
HItler and the 1936 olympics…he pwned’em.
Man, if only Svetlana Khorkina was still an Olympian, I’d have this contest on lock! I loved that lanky Ruske! Yet she was only 5’5!
In her absence, I must go with Dwight Howard, because I have yet to NOT smile and giggle when I watch his Superman Slam Dunk. He threw the ball in the hoop!
Elina Eggers from Sweden. She’s very stylish.

Chris Bosh! A Raptor who actually kinda looks like a raptor!

Sofoklis Schortsanitsis. Center on the Greece Men’s Basketball team. He looks like somebody compressed Shaq into a normal fitting body. Plus is name is awesome.

She’s 41, a mom, and competing in the Olypmics. Enough said.

Keith Beavers – the Canadian swimmer with the Olympic and Canadian flag tattoos on his chest. Student of kinesiology. Goes to Waterloo. Upset double Olympic backstroke champion Lenny Krayzelburg of the United States for the gold.
The only way he could possibly fulfill more Canadian stereotypes would be if he swam in a lumberjacket.
smalls.
you gotta give it up to phelps, for sure…
but the paraguayan women’s javelin team does it for me!
yes!
go olympics!
I gotta go with Zhang Liang. The guy missed his heat in mens single sculls which also disqualified him for doubles. I think he deserves some lovin’ before the Chinese government makes him disappear for his mistake.
Joo Hyun-Jung, the South Korean archer. Even with rabid Chinese fans screaming in her ear she missed the center ring like once in the final, amazing.
Homeslice Brian McBride,
Arlington Heights IL representttt
Raj Bhavsar– US Men’s gymnast who didn’t make the team in 2004. He was crushed but tried out again and was picked as an alternate in 2008. He was called up at the last minute when Paul Hamm dropped out and came through brilliantly in Beijing for the US.
mark spitz… for the mustache.
Jason Lezak – Santa Barbara represent!
Eric Lamaze. The guy has had two lifetime bans from the Olympics, both over-turned. You can’t go wrong.

Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarakoon, thai women’s weightlifter extraordinaire. come on – you gotta give credit for the longest name ever.

Phelps, of course. Man got more gold than Mr. T.
Mark Price, greatest three point shooter to walk the Earth.

George W Bush, while not technically an olympian who did not get a kick out of those pics of him and those beach vollyball players? Barbara’s got to be a little upset.

Zeus, for sure. Every time you hear thunder, you’re listening to what people, thousands of years ago, ascribed to the gods. Zeus was in charge of all the Titans down below trying to get out, and all he had to do when he got angry or wanted to display his authority was throw a thunderbolt. No one can say that these days, and the closest anyone ever really came was circa 1985 when Doc Brown channeled a thunderbolt into a Delorean.
Surely, many other Olympians have continued to shine well past their time of universal (or at least Mediterranean) recognition as deities. None, however, has risen to the status and stature embodied by Zeus, God of Gods, who, among other fancy tricks, turned a nymph into a tortoise when she refused to attend His wedding.
Today’s god likes to sit on a throne created by and for mankind, which works for all those who care. Zeus went a step further, turning people into eagles for being righteous and bearing nearly a dozen children, all of whom inhereted their father’s godliness in one way or another. Aphrodite and Hermes are great Olympians, no doubt, but Zeus is the proverbial oak tree from which the golden apples fell not far off.
Hot Chip decidedly appreciate Zeus, as lightning is definitively something that is made in the dark. Reasons and examples abound when in roam of the greatest Greek Olympian, and their names are, collectively, Zeus.
alicia sacramone!
Dara Torres. the woman is still getting olympic medals at 41. now that is an athlete.

Brian Sell,
He’s the third finisher in the men’s marathon time trials,
and he grew up only two miles away.
Brian is like an inspiration to our whole small town, and as a runner, i look up to him, because he was just a normal country kid.
And he’s going to win the gold.
tj2013@aim.com
Janos Baranyai, the Hungarian weight lifter who had the entire world watch him break his arm. That’s guts.

That Korean lady that fell off her bike down a hill.
Since someone already picked Zeus… i’m gonna have to go with Spain’s Zunzu. seriously… that’s the dude’s name. ZUNZU.

Shawn Johnson! She’s only 16 and totally incredible.

Nastia Liukin.
Duh.
Gro Hammerseng, Norway Female Handball.
This sport is like Lacrosse rules mixed with Basketball skills. Pretty brutal.
To contrast, she was in an ad for Amnesty International.
alextolson at gmail dot com
I like Nastia because her name is Nastia and she looked like such a bitch through the whole thing. She never smiled, even after she did really well, and she looked pissed after Shawn finished. But she won gold because even though she looks angry and bitchy, she’s awesome.
Benjamin Boukpeti…bronze medalist from togo who won his country’s first medal in kayaking. he proceeded to snap his paddle in delight.

Normally I gotta go to some backwoods carnival to see a midget doing flips, and none are nearly as cute as her.
i am not going to try and cover the fact that this will come off horribly cliche; since the hype has set in there are thousands of people mindlessly and ecstatically chanting the same name in unison, tattooing their asses with the name or in the areas where such devices are scarce perhaps using a branding iron, and every one of us knows that Tivo is helping more people than we would like to think turn on certain olympic events alone in their room in the dark in the wee hours of the night where their hands begin to have minds of their own, but in the name of global pride and honor…..
MICHAEL PHELPS
honestly, i have not watched any of the olympics, but sheer dharmabuddajesuskrishnazenu coincidence has brought me in front of a tv during footage of every one of his spectacular displays of domination, and as a member of this nation which i rarely get to feel proud of, and as a loser whose athletic abilities are limited to the occasional trip i make from my room to grab some food and quickly scurry back hopefully unseen, that man and glimmering body and his USA-printed speedo puts a smile on my face.
What does it mean to be an American? I can now laugh and shout to the world, ‘No one of you is safe! We are a race of fish-men, and evolution smiles upon our people! By the time the global ice caps melt and the world is submerging like a terrified Atlantis in the fetal position, our gills will have taken us down below the surface of the deep blue sea, never to be heard from again.’

Usain Bolt. Have you ever seen an olympic athlete with a more descriptive name? That, and he’s Jamaican. Hells yeah.

Huge inspiration, and we have a huge viewing of his race at the high school.
He’s my hero during track and xc.

When I logged into the hotel, I was surprised that I had 1000 habbo credits which is unbelievable. I logged back in 5 minutes later to discover that all my habbo gold has been stolen. It gives you a virtual environment where you can use your imagination to create your own small cartoony world with your own habbo coins and interact with different people. For decorations you actually pay real monry to buy habbo gold in the range of $0.20, it may sound ridiculous. To use Hotel navigator you need to install cheap habbo credits of macromedia shockwave player. There are two types of rooms, public and guest room.
