Great story. Sadly I was at a birthday dinner last night and missed Dong Dong dang it. I loved the Dong Dong done done it headline too. I hope the person who pointed out in the comments section that Babe Ruth didn't win a Gold Medal was kidding. If not they should also know that Charles Lindbergh only won the Bronze.

This olymipics is so much more enjoyable because of the great reporting. Keep it (the reporting...uh) up Dave.

That first paragraph shows how badly Dave missed his calling. He'd have been the world's best sports writer.

of course, we are NOT making fun of anyone's name.... but i am guessing that Sidney Weinblatt seems hilarious to the chinese. including dong dong.

Nurse Cindy - shows what you know. He was pointing out, in fact, that Babe Ruth had never won a gold metal, which is entirely true. I think. I should consult the wikipedia article on Babe Didrickson just to be sure. I google it.

Dong, as his friends call him, asks that you mocking racist penis-envying Americans stop making fun of his name. And he wishes you to know that, in Mandarin, "Dave" is the colloquial term for boobie.
