We’ve all probably watched the Olympics at some point and imagined ourselves, standing at the medal ceremony, singing the national anthem with a gold medal around our neck.
It’s a nice dream.
But how about a trash bin that was actually used in the athletes village bathroom? Did you dare dream you’d own one of those?
Be still your heart — you can.
In fact you and 2,505 folks willing to pony up the 2.5 British pounds can turn your toilet into an official Olympic shrine by shopping remainsofthegames.co.uk.
And you won’t just score trash bins, no sirree! We’re talking traffic barriers and clocks, fire extinguishers and TV stands — all kinds of items the Olympic athletes used during the games.
Want a mattress slept on by an Olympic swimmer? Now’s your chance!
How ’bout a mirror that was looked upon by a gymnast, track star or beach volleyball player? Get your credit card ready.
Now…isn’t that better than a medal?
Nailed it
Last night a good friend posted on Facebook that she was “kind of addicted” to the Olympics.
We should start a support group.
But she did mention a rather unique obsession — the athletes’ nail art.
I’ve noticed that, too — specifically on the swimmers. We’re not just talking red-white-and-blue, or gold-silver-and-bronze color palettes; that would be kid stuff in London.
I have to admit, though — I assumed these too-cool nails were manufactured, stick-ons or polishes like the ones I have seen in stores lately. I couldn’t imagine someone doing them by hand, or the athletes sitting still for it.
Well, what do I know?
