DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I guess I like the Olympics more than I thought. I mean, it's the only time when I have the TV on for a couple of hours just to watch badminton, team handball, and volleyball.Same here. The Olympics are a nice alternative for a couple weeks when there's typically nothing else on but mid-season baseball and preseason football. It's something that's not regularly shown on TV...might as well watch it. Hell, I got addicted to curling during the Turino Games back in 2006.However, I won't watch any gymnastics events because I'm a man....And I don''t let my gender determine the things I should and shouldn't like because I'm not a meathead. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 What's that crap on Kerri Walsh's shoulder?Oh, and the ceremonies were awesome. The drums were the best thing in Olympic history. Bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Surprised that no one has bothered to bring this story up: Father of former olympian killed in BejingLocally, this story is receiving some attention. How is it being viewed nationally and internationally?It has been getting some attention internationally. It does seem to me that it's a random attack.It's getting plenty of attention...just not here. Why? Well, a myriad of reasons. 1) It's Saturday. Frankly, a lot of people don't even come to this place when they aren't at work during the week...they may have families, other jobs, lives, or no internet access even. There should be a swell of opinion on Monday. 2) It didn't happen here in the US. Look at the heinous, brutal bus attack in Canada a week and a half ago. How many posts were devoted to that...or should I ask how few? 3) It's not a happy story. There is so much crap getting thrown at us every day from so many angles, that this ain't a place I come for updates and commentary on the news of the day. I come here to talk on Brett Favre, argue with TNak, and pad my post count. I don't want the evils of the world to seep into my Creamery time.Besides, the CCSLC is not a representative sample of the average, everyday folk. Most people here are passionate about sports design and aesthetics. How much of that do you see anywhere? Hell, most people here actually care about hockey. Like, only 0.14% of the US population can name more than two teams (I'm exaggerating, but you get the point), but up here, hockey is the greatest thing since sex and would be better than sex if it wasn't for the whole sex being needed for procreation thing.

I don't think he will get 8 either. That is a lot of races to win plus I believe a couple of them are a relays which means you are depending on other people to win.

Squeaks4 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't really want to make this into a negative thread but I saw this picture on Digg and thought it was too powerful to pass up. (I am not 100% sure if this picture is legit. Could easily be photoshopped)I also wanted to say that those opening ceremonies were honestly stunning. I can't see how that will be topped for a while. Also, did anyone else get an almost intimidating feeling while watching some of the different acts during the ceremony. Maybe I am just a delusional American but seeing those drummers and the men doing Karate surrounding the children gave me a very intimating vibe. One thing is for sure, China is becoming a very defined super-power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm enjoying the Olympics a lot more than I thought I would. It always happens, I claim I don't care about them, but then I catch the fever. It helps that there are more live events on than I thought there would be, so long as you don't mind staying up late or getting up early. Who cares if its the first day of school tomorrow, I'm going to watch the 100 meter breaststroke finals tonight at 10:30! My students will be fine!
