The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread

Ungh! I don't NEED to be drunk (why do you hate asians?). I simply started drinking while a friend and I were smoking meat.

While I am typing this my wife says, "I couldn't be a swimmer cause my boobs are too big." Fuckers.

And I couldn't be a marathon runner because my arse is too big.

Wake me up when she says "I'd like a divorce".

Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.

I'm watching swimming right now. Women's IM.

Given it's swimming finals time, I figured it's pretty much the global broadcast. But I doubt you guys will be getting events like New Zealand in the women's basketball, or the football tournaments, or hockey....

What I wouldn't give to see Short Round be a judge at one of these events:

"No Michael Phelps! You cheat! You cheat! You very big, I very small!"

I watch whatever the fuck is on.

No we'll likely not get much women's hoops involving New Zealand. Though, NBC.com is streaming just about everything that occurs, so if I wanted to watch that, I likely could.

I love the Olympics!

I drink it up!

Nice race for Rice, WR time.

I watched women's handball this morning while running. That's a cool sport. I'm gonna find a league (men's) to play in.

 

[No spoken words]

Team Handball = awesome. I remember being mesmerized by it the first time I saw it......too bad we don't play it here. Just another reason to hate America, people!

Ian, tell Axver.

There are about 5 Us missing in that sentence.

US Basketball is at 10:15 tomorrow morning, right?

My Dad won the Cup of Europe twice as a coach in the 80s. Since nobody outside of Europe is really competitive, it's the equivalent of the World Cup in that sport. I remember the games still.

Oooh, streaming Olympics. That would have me on 56k speed before the first medal is doled out.

Yes, vs. the host country.

That's the most human thing I have ever seen you post.

Yeah, at this point, they figure "fuck it, we've got production people/equipment at every venue, might as well stream and sell the shit out of our ad space on our site".

 

[Dalton]

Have any of you gone to NBC's olympic site? That's the worst fucking internet site I've seen since 1999.

 

[coolian2]

Handball is wild.

Great call.

 

[LMP]

Yes, vs. the host country.

Yo, Yao?

I'm sitting here talking about it, you lush.

But, yes, it's poorly designed, not very user friendly.

 

[No spoken words]

Yo, Yao?

Yao, yes.

Beats some churchy crap I've seen being advertised here.

 

[Dalton]

Careful Ian. I am a clergy man.

It's the logical way of thinking.

Well I was at the beach today. It's possible I stayed out in the sun too long.

 

[No spoken words]

It's the logical way of thinking.

New media = the Wild West of the Communications business.

Which beach? Jones?

 

[coolian2]

Careful Ian. I am a clergy man.

Are you the guy that produces godawaful faux action thriller ads to make religion seem more exciting? Because I'll have to owe you an extra punch in the face if you are.

 

[anitram]

Which beach? Jones?

The LONGer one.

I dig it. Next thing you know you are going to be posting about how much you love the Death Bear.
