Rock, Paper, Scissors (Erica)

Just to give you an idea of what you are dealing with here, we tried to use rock, paper, scissors as a way to determine who would write the first blog on our new blogspot site and we went through at least 6 attempts before we each chose something different. AND I WON!

So, here you have Caroline (26) and Erica (30) (hence the name Car-ica), two women living in NC and desperate to find a way to make a living doing something fun and exciting. We currently work together doing public health research at a major university. However, this is not an outlet for our quick-witted, sarcastic banter. Therefore, we had to find another outlet. And, the blog entitled "The Urinal Olympics" was born.

I thought I would take this opportunity to explain why we chose the name we did. Caroline and I have an uncanny ability to associate words from one conversation to the next until we have no idea how we got where we are. One afternoon, while sitting in the office, bored, we somehow conversationally traveled from small talk to dismounts off of the urinal in the mens room down the hall. We discussed different ways to remove oneself (in dismount fashion) from a urinal and then laughed about it until we cried. Then, we looked at each other and said, "what were we talking about previously that got us to this point?" And, neither of us had the answer.

This is our new way to let the world know about all the sick and twisted things that we think about (and lots of other people probably do, too). However, we are the ones that say it out loud (or at least on the world wide web). By posting these sick thoughts, we will hopefully no longer get disapproving looks from our coworkers as we begin to travel down a road that we shouldn't travel at work, because we have a new outlet for our sick behavior.

Guaranteed we will also touch on topics such as college and professional football, relationships (or lack there of), out of control celebrities, deciding what to be when we grow up, and so on, and so forth.
