Shine on you crazy Tongan

During the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Rio on Friday of last week (while my friends, family and I were bowling), the flag bearers from each country walked into a stadium followed by their country's teams.  The flag bearer from the country of Tonga walked in, leading his countrymen and women, and he was wearing a sarong.  He was also shirtless.  And all oiled up.  And pretty hot.

So, of course, the morning fluff-news programs had to meet this shiny man.  They got the shirt-averse Tongan on their show, and all of the female anchors proceeded to rub him in a very unsettling manner.  It was very disturbing.  It was also hilarious.  It inspired a pretty great trivia team name: Shine on, you crazy Tongan.  

In my personal opinion, that was our most cleverly named team of the summer, and we have Chad to thank for it.  We were talking about the Tongan and his general shiny-ness, and Chad made the connection to a Pink Floyd song title.  I think that was a real win.  Good thing, too, because we actually came in second place.  To be fair, it was a tie for first, and we had to go to a tiebreaker.  It was a stab-in-the-dark question.  How many TV households did Nielsen say were in the US in some particular year.  I have no idea what we said, but the other tied-for-first team guessed better than we did.  We were both way off.  It felt like the person on The Price is Right who guesses one dollar losing to the person who guesses two.  

Other than that, I've been immersed in the name-change process.  I have about half of it done, and the rest of the people who need to know I am Heather Dunlap now will also need my new credit card information.  They have to wait until the new cards arrive.  I think the numbers on the front will stay the same, but I'm betting the three digit thing on the back will be different.  Oh, joy...  

I was planning on spending a little time today dressing up my website for school.  I have owned misshinds.org for a pretty long time.  I used to have the .com page, but .org is cheaper.  I bought msdunlap.org earlier in the summer, and I have to get it all set up.  Honestly, all I was going to do was change the name, redo a button or two and wipe out all of last year's content.  I just need to get to it.

But first, maybe it's shower time.
