One of things is not like the other...
one of these things doesn't belong...









I'm not a huge Olympics fan but I've watched some of the games. I can get drawn in by the level of skill, athleticism, competitive spirit and impressive feats of precision in some of the events. Events like speed skating and the luge come down to mere seconds and tiny errors. Then I see gaudy pictures of figure skaters who are obviously trying to entertain. I'm not sure of the best way to explain the difference, but I get a very different impression watching figure skating than what I get watching other Olympic events. One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong.
