And Now, The Olympics

Aug 11, 2008 10:21

Me, talk about sports? How radical! And yet, the Olympics are sports like no other sport. Except the sports that are in the Olympics. Or something. Anyway, blah blah, let's discuss.

I think I said this two years ago, but hell, I'm nothing if not predictable. )

General Kala still gives me a tingly feeling in my trousers. Rawr.

I bow to you, sir. I agree with everything.

(I do like gymnastics and swimming, but that's just because I used to take gymnastics and I'm 4'11" and my husband used to do competitive swimming and diving and has the muscles to prove it)

Also, GW Bush can be unintentionally hilarious in a good way. Ooh, burn, Costas!

Hey, I'm down with swimming. I hate the water, but swimmers are hellaciously strong and well-built. And I don't mind gymnastics, I'm just too anal to handle subjective scoring. heh.

And yeah, hahaha, Costas got pwned by the Prez.

Yeah, the scoring pisses me off too. I always yell at the TV. It never helps.

We need 2 Olympic coverage channels - one for sports, and one for stupid montages.

Oh Gods yes. I'm all for separating out the Stupid Montage Channel. In fact, send that shit over to the Lifetime Network. They'll eat that junk up for breakfast.

Precisely. The suck/not suck judgement call needs to be out in force. It's all bias anyway.

But... New Orleans doesn't have as fine a booty as our volleyball chicks do!

But it does have quite a bit more in the bazoombas. That's worth saving right there.

I guess I'm just not a fan of the "new edgy sports" that they're allowing. Snowboarding? Beach Volleyball? Save those for the X-Treme Games or something. I like my Olympics with a dash of snooty disdain for those extreme games. ;-)
