Oliver's Sports Tips

1. When running, always keep your eyes on the road ahead of you. Jogging through your neighborhood or local park is basically like running a very long obstacle course. Resist distractions, because the second you turn your head to check out that hot babe on the other side of the street--BAM! you're going to run face first into the bumper of a Prius. (Hey, it's still Takoma Park...)

2. Say you're out shooting hoops. Don't stand under the net. Eventually, someone is going to get the ball in there.

3. Neither canines nor humans are meant to "twizzle." This is a figure-skating move that involves, as far as I can tell, twirling yourself around in a spastic manner while making jazz hands until you vomit. I'll stick to snow angels.
