Please bear with us while we break for the crazy.

A few days ago I learned that Michael Phelps was enjoying his post Olympics, err, R&R at a resort in Portugal (Hilton Vilamoura at Cascatas Resort & Spa). I noted it, noted that it said he was with his friends, but not which friends, which then lead to this exchange yesterday:

[livejournal.com profile] alethialia: Hey, Michael's in Portugal! Did you know this?
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: Uh, yeah. Did I not tell you this?
[livejournal.com profile] alethialia: You didn't but I LOVE that you just know that. Is he with Ryan, too?
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: They haven't said who he's with, but does anybody even know where Ryan is? Exactly. Process of elimination: if I can't eliminate where you are, you must be with Michael.
[livejournal.com profile] alethialia: I'm shocked you don't have spies in the resort sending you daily updates with, like, pictures. Or at least that you don't have someone who has someone who has these things.
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: Hmmm. Maybe not enough people know I'm looking. Not that I'm looking. Actually, you know, my spies may just be waiting to stumble upon the photographic evidence.

Right? RIGHT!

Because I spend a lot of time with you lot and I just know that if you all have any information of any kind you would tell me, right? RIGHT.

This morning I get this tidbit of information. To wit, Michael and Ryan aren't playing 18 holes anymore, because Michael's back in town hanging with Tiger Woods (even though the person he really wants to meet, and has said so ad nauseum is Michael Jordan). Where was I?

Oh, right. So I knew that Michael is slated to host Saturday Night Live on 13 September, which you know a) I think will be kind of a disaster. I heart Michael, but he's no public speaker b) Ryan will most definitely be there egging him on and c) did I mention the diaster part? Maybe if he wanders around in his LZR nobody will care.

But Wait! There's more!

Now, it's not just SNL. It's also the VMAs (MTV Video Music Awards for the acronym lite) [insert cringing here]. Maybe this will be where Shia kidnaps him for Ari [livejournal.com profile] sparky77.

But wait! There's more!

The musical guest on SNL the night Michael hosts will be none other than his most favoritest rapper ever -- Lil' Wayne.

This is going to be epic. I am now required to watch this.

If I spent half as much time doing real work as I do doing this shit I would totally be Queen of All the Cool Countries by now.
