Winter Olympics ...

[lurch70]

anyone watching this?
most people in the US think the Winter ones are a bore ... but there is some crazy shit going on.
Downhill skiing is on right now ... have not seen this event in ages ... and the speed they achieve looks downright insane.

looks pretty awesome in HDTV as well ...

i want to see some Jamaican bobsledding just for shits and giggles and maybe some broken bones would be good too. I dont take the Olympics to seriously especially the winter ones because we suck at them.

 

[lurch70]

ok, the guy who is now in first place in this event is 6'4" 230 lbs ... and they are saying being this big is a plus in downhill skiing ... hmm
the few times i put skiis on it never felt like I was in control of the damn things ... might have to try it again.

[lurch70]

[Claws of Perdition]

What? This has already started? Ha, the Opening Ceremony isn't on until tonight here, and the Games aren't televised until tomorrow night.

I've spent the whole day so far in front of the telly. One silver medal and two bronze medals already, a nice start for Norway

When they put Yoko fucking Ono in the opening ceremonies, I tuned out and wish for disaster and violence.

Well, a Yoko Ono appearance *is* disaster and violence.

 

[dorian gray]

yoko ono - terrible idea. i was embarrased as an american.
anyway, wierdest opening ceremony in history in preparation for one of the most boring sporting events in history. thanks olympics! for interrupting the hockey season! yay!

Actually, most people prefer the winter olympics. The summer olympics blow. I mean, track & field? yay

I don't particularly care about either though, except hockey and maybe some snowboarding events

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

hell yeah! Hockey! bigger rink, fast as fuck! Tons of european players!

 

[NAD]

I definitely prefer winter to summer games, THE LUGE MAN YEAH!!! Really dig the bobsled as well. Summer I like gymnastics, like a lot. I've been told that makes me gay, but I think those people were trying to hit on me anyhow.

New silver medal to Norway, courtesy of our very best freestyle skier, Kari Traa.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

[Krigloch the Furious]

she is wet, and has pads on.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

yeah, but where are her pants?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

do you really care?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

not really, but this sudden omission of accepted social conventions caught me off guard.
