Michael Phelps wins his first gold medal and adds a second gold medal for the United States. This victory should W as happy as when he was out looking at ladies’ butts.

No gold medal response yet from the Chinese “we are the center of the universe” team as of this posting so the rivals both have two golds at this point.

I didn’t realize that Michael Phelps has a big mouth. He does need it to bite all them gold medals he is expected to win. Michael will be the main draw in today’s swimming finals.

The question everybody is asking about Michael Phelps: Will he or won’t he break Mark Spitz’s record of seven Olympic gold medals? Maybe he will. But then maybe them Aussie Olympians, who are this year’s “model” of inter-team fighting, will get their acts together and spoil Michael Phelps’ party in Beijing?

Will the IOC strip American Michael Phelps of his six Olympic gold medals now that we have proof that he is, in fact, a merman?

Very unlikely. The above photos are actually part of Annie Leibovitz’s “Disney Dream Portrait Series”. For these “The Little Mermaid” portraits, Julian Moore is Ariel to Michael’s merman.

So what does Annie think of our Olympic champ? “His movements were so graceful and beautiful you just felt like you were watching a real merman,” she says.

Will Phelps’ “merman like” movement help him achieve his goal of bagging eight gold medals in Beijing? If he does, we will have to crown him as the swimming GOAT (greatest of all time).
