That's the Olympic anthem by the way. Anyway, turns out Allison Baver, a girl I went to junior high and high school with is on the US Olympic speed skating team. I totally had a crush on her in 7th grade. I knew she was good and working towards it, but I just saw her pic on SI.com. In addition, Kerry Collins went to my high school, but who cares. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!
normally, I try not to get into the olympics because it always becomes about how many medals America can get, but mother of pearl did you see that ice dancing girl? Tanith Belbin... WoW.
i distance myself as far as possible from the german teams clothing design... i am deeply ashamed... this country is a design dump! it was done by bogner, and it´s defintitely the WORST of all nations, dammit...
until they make my favorite winter sport "snowmobiling on thin lake ice while drinking schnapps" an official event, i have no plans to watch the so-called winter games. bahhh
Those are probably the shittiest mascots I've ever seen. I love the mascots from the mascots from the 2005 Expo in Aichi. They are plants with legs and eyes. What the hell? I can't tell if the big one is cute, or scary.
it's hard watching it here - there's a lot of attention on curling, and I rate curling with the new olympic trial event, lawn-watching.
[for all the curling fans. yes i know it's a sport, but come on - it clearly indicates an affinity for sports that can be done while drinking - put the beer on the ice, light up a fag, start scrubbing furiously] put a bob-sled team beside a curling team - wouldn't want to see THEM in tights now...
what's the story with apolo anton? he was painted as a prat by the british commentary.
I think there needs to be much more Michelle Kwan coverage. I like hearing about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan skates. Michelle Kwan doesn't skate. Michelle Kwan's advertisers pissed off. Michelle Kwan cries again. Michelle Kwan goes home.
I heard a non-American won a medal. It wasn't Michelle Kwan.
No, the Prime Minister of Italy who is a nut and is running for relection said something along the line the other day that he was the Jesus of Politics. It was on CNN's headline.
ohhhhh...
sorry i was totally confused.
when you said 'the guys a nut'..i thought you were talkin
about jesus..which also didn't make much sense to me...
i did just read how berlusconi had compared himself to jesus...sacrificing himself for the sake of the country or something..
tis true..he does seem a bit odd. i wonder how that's going over in
a country that's predominantly catholic and is the center of the
catholic world...
Doooo Doo do do do DO do dododododo do do do do dodo do dooooo

I find myself not really interested in the winter olympics, primarily because there are no men's swimming events.....
Or does this comment belong on that other thread? Oh well. Sorry.
I love the Olympics. I like the stories.
I watch it for the doping scandals.

Why did they steal the Canadian National Anthem? Oh Canada.....
no one caught the jesus comment? Seriously, that guy's a nut!
neither of your comments really make any sense beatle...
'the jesus of olympics'...i don't get it...because of the
shroud of turin?

He's also a huge homo hater, and has publicatly admitted that he's a womanizer, and very proud of such.
WonderK: this is for you
Wow, thanks farmer.
