Frankie Likes To Curl

Frankie's favorite winter game is curling.

His rotund physique is perfect for the sport.

His butt gets a little chilly and the sweepers tickle.

But sliding and bouncing are fun!

Hipp-O-lympic Fever!

I've been watching the Olympics almost around the clock (except when snoozing, snacking, or blogging)--especially the swimming competitions! Hippos really like to swim.

The International Olympic committee should consider adding a few more sports:

• Underwater Breath Holding (Did you know that hippos can hold their breath for 6 minutes?)
• Couch Potato Snacking Marathon (make sure you get all the food groups in for a balanced snack--sweet, salty, cheez covered, iced, frozen, and chocolate)
• Endurance TV watching (hippos are especially good at the "dead stare." It intimidates the competitors.)

I'm a gold medalist in all three of these sports. I feel kind of sorry for all the Olympians, though. Their medals aren't filled with tasty chocolate like mine!
