Coca-Cola Contour Glass - Olympic Souvenir Item and Coke Collectible

"Coke adds life."   Do you still remember that slogan of Coke in  the late 70's?  It seems that every year or so, they come up with a new slogan for their marketing campaigns.  Now in 2012, it's "Open Happiness".  No matter how the soft drink giant spins their advertising efforts to drum up more business or pump in more cash to their coffers, I commend Coca Cola for being a sponsor of the Olympic games.  Did you know that Coca-Cola was the first commercial sponsor of the Olympics?  Coca-cola sponsored the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, and has been an Olympics sponsor ever since.

SONS of POSEIDON - Australian Certified Male Hotties of the 2012 London Olympics

Sizzling hot!… enough to "boil" Manly Beach in Sydney and the lap pools of the 2012 London Olympic village.  The members of the swimming team of Australia are certified hotties!  It would seem unfair to let these demigods - sons of Poseidon, to join the Olympics with us mortals!  LOL!

I have always thought that the gorgeous athletes with great bodies would come from the swimming teams.  He-he-he.  I suppose I have proven myself wrong when I featured the Top 18 Male Athlete Hotties of Team Great Britain.  The good-looking and sexy guys of Team Great Britain are from every Olympic event.  Wheew!  I started however, to believe again that the swimming team is the sexy-best.  Just look at these Aussie athletes exhibiting the quintessential swimmer's build (i.e., a physical build with a high level of muscle tone without a lot of bulk).  Yum, yum, yum!

What Do the Olympic Games Mean to You?

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat - for mere spectators such as myself, those feelings may be a bit hard to come by.  We can however, relate (perhaps in some occasions connected to work, relationships, or personal aspirations)… and we can definitely dream!  We can also learn invaluable lessons...

My friends and I like to kill time by "people watching".  We usually go to a "resto" in a mall and position ourselves in a vantage spot for passersby.  We were always on a look-out for "hotties".  Yes… I know… it's so juvenile.  But we honestly bond during these feeble pastime.  Today, instead of going out, we stayed in a friend's house and there's nothing to do but surf the internet.  Since we are entering July, the Olympics fever is beginning to take hold.  So, we decided to check out team Great Britain (GB) and rate the hotties.
