The Lyrics
Shaun White: showboat
'Lympic team sensation
Such daring ae-rial dance
Halfpipe: he smote
All the other nations
Nobody else stood a chance
After gold win: Late night show,
"To Obama's House—let's go!" [1]
Check "Tomato" and his team [2]
Teaching Prez the snowboard scene
Shaun White- high note:
2-McTwist 1260 [3]
New trick debut—Cool, Dude!
[1] White stated in an NBC interview with Bob Costas that his next goal was to meet the President at the White House.
[2] One of Shaun's nicknames is "The Flying Tomato"—a nod to his red hair.
[3] 3 1/2 spins (1260 degrees) with a couple of flips, nicknamed the "Double McTwist 1260". Known for it in practice, White unveiled it in competition on his second run, after the first run had already earned him the gold. Video here, the trick starts at about 0:45, near the end of the run, when the height is the least.

Snowboarding? Isn't that a type of enhanced interrogation they use in Alaska? ;D
Gallagheresque watermelon-bustin' fives (you ranga, bonzo, agent orange, annie, ang mo, copper head, copper knob, el gingero, fred the red, garfield, redzee, redwood, trusty rusty, bushfire, lil red bastards!)
I'm gonna throw flying tomatoes at you
I think snowboarding started in California where skateboarders skate in empty swimming pools. Shaun White is cute!
Coach got fined $555 for cussing on camera, but Shaun and the parody were golden!
Nice tribute to a guy who doesn't look like a typical Olympian, but certainly has the right stuff. LOL on Ribber's snowboarding comment.
This parody was so cool, it was snowy! 5's
Old Man Ribber continues his record-breaking streak of Olympic gold-medal winning puns, breaking the previous record set by ice skater Brian Boy-to-know!
Insanely_Jealous_Carrot-Top: Amazingly diverse metaphors there, more than I've ever met 'afore ...
Ausfahrt: Thanks! Shaun White can visit me *any* day!
2Eagle: Snowboarding started in California where all nutty new trends start :-D ... kidding! Tried it -- cool, but prefer skiing.
... and here where it never snows except during this Winter Of Global Warming, they have public skate parks with half-pipes, waves, etc., probably because the chlorine in the swimming pools is murder on the bearings. (i. e., the pools are full of water.)
btw, 2E, have I made the dreadful "Royce Miller Blunder" in assuming all along that you were male? -- in which case, several years of "sorry". Or are you coming out to us? -- in which case, congratulations, and welcome! (It's sooo much lighter and airier outside that dark closet!) .... and sorry you couldn't make it to your place in the group trib on Monday -- missed ya.
Mark Scotti: I didn't think mikes in NFL players' helmets were such a good idea, either -- gotta watch where you put those things... serves 'em right. (Do they think this is an athletic event , or a church sermon?) ... thanks for v/c!
Timmy1000: Well, he looks like a typical *snowboarder*.... started out as a *very* counter-culture sport. Old joke among skiers:
Q. What's the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a snowboarder?
A: The way in which the dirtbag is attached.
.... ANY-way.... who cares about hair (under helmet)? - the dude rocks, as does your v/c. Agree on OMR -- we gotta pass that one on to Dick Cheney!

Can't say it any better than TT... but thanks again to OMR, Carrot Top, 2Eagle, Mark Scotti, T1K, and Phil! :)
Phil Nelson, sorry -- cross-posted there. Thanks for your "blanket of (Shaun) White" v/c!
Great take on a short ditty...and great trib to Shaun White! Cool parody and 5's!
To All: I'm a woman and I'm straight. I'm just not afraid to be one of the guys - that's different from being gay. I did get a kick out of giving the impression I'm a gay male.
I did see my name in the group trib next to "Boy, Mikey".
Christie Marie M: Cool thanks!
2Eagle: Humble apologies. For some reason, ever since TT arrived here about 1 1/2 years after you did, I just "assumed" you were male, probably because "Eagle" didn't seem like a nick a chick would pick (how slick! :-).
One consequence: My *occasionally* caustic wit is generally softened for the gentle sex. (Gentle? Try divorcing one, or cheat on one and see what she does to your SUV, with your *own* golf clubs! Gentle, my hindshell! ;) To that extent, a four-year apology for any sarcasm -- yes, there is a bit of gentleturtle inside the hard shell.
I never thought you were gay, either way. Just male, and no reason to think about preference -- not my business, and you never gave the impression. It was only the "Shaun White is cute" comment that got me scratching my head. ... and PMS, *quite* female, isn't afraid to be OOTG either, and no one that I know of thinks that makes her any the less feminine.
I hope you'll accept the apology for any offense I may have given, which is like guys punching each other -- it's "male bonding". And sorry for tweaking your name, and dozens of others, but it wasn't easy getting all those names to pace to TOS. I would *truly* love to see anyone do it better, because I admire any display of excellent technique, even if it makes mine look not as good. It was not an easy song to do. Cheers.

(Sincerely) Would you like that apology in the form of a parody some day, as I did for the late Royce Miller after learning of the noobish error?

Why apologize? I thought it was funny.
Oh, okay. I meant, if I've been caustic in wit in comments or whatever.
I got ribbed pretty badly (but in good fun) about Royce, because *everyone* made the same mistake, but all the vets knew. I expect a lot of the peeps here now DK about yourself; I DK about the crowd back then (Stu, Johnny D, etc.), whether they knew your gender or not. But if you're cool, I'm cool. Thanks.
