Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in the pool. He is more popular than air and boobs. The world is in love with him.

Here’s the thing… He won eight gold medals in the pool. Swimming is a recreational activity and/or a survival skill— that’s it. I live on land. We (for the most part) all do.

So fucking cool it already with all the Phelps chatter. He’s really, really good at a marginally useful thing.

In total it took 20 days, 140,000 cards, nerves of steal and ability to not sneeze.
