That Apollo Anton Ono and his soul patch appeared amid all this seems hardly worth noting. Named for a serial rapist many millenia out of fashion, he remains unrelated to John Lennon or Wilmer Valderrama....

Shaun White looks vaguely like Danny Bonaduce might had Danny Bonaduce lived a happier, healthier life and so makes deep amends for all the awful things done by our ravenous culture in its devouring of Danny Partridge.

The Ono blurb caught my eye because of its Greek God = Serial Rapist concept.
But I really grokked the Danny Bonaduce comparison. I hadn't thought of that, and now I can't look at White without thinking of Danny Partridge..

I'm sorry, I quit watching the olympics years ago - I couldn't remember why, now I do - it was when the pro basketball players went on the American team - after that I couldn't really care if we're even in the olympics anymore

I do like the quote though
