Jessica Simpson just fell off the beam!

 

[No spoken words]

GAF you fucking jack-ass. I blame you.

 

[speedracer]

When I was younger I read some book about Russia v USA nuclear war, and how it would impact Canada. I felt guilty about it all.

Ah, The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. I remember that book fondly.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

that relay was amazing.

now, time to watch the child abuse on beam ...

I loved how the green world record line couldn't keep up.

Watching the last 4 girls on beam has been brutal.

I.....I, um, I'm not sure that was it, as it turns out.

 

[U2DMfan]

Gymkata. Wow.

That reference deserves a medal or something.

Jessica Simpson just fell off the beam!

I blame nick.

 

[No spoken words]

Gymkata. Wow.

That reference deserves a medal or something.

It's that kind of night, and, I knew you and Dalton would appreciate it.

 

[Dalton]

I know, right.

I will find and watch that movie.

 

[corianderstem]

I decided to stay, because I wouldn't even know which one "Jessica Simpson" is supposed to be. Ha!

And child abuse on a beam? That sounds about right. And hilarious! I read a couple of books recently about all the sunshine and puppies involved in making little girls into competitive gymnasts. (Not that the girls don't want to be there - they want to compete and win, but still.)

 

[speedracer]

I blame Tony Romo and his gambling addiction.

FYP

 

[No spoken words]

So, wow, just three more for Phelps....it's amazing to me how you can have all this pressure on you, and everyone is assuming you'll come through......and you have this exhaustive schedule.....and you, so far, live up to all the hype, and then some.....simply amazing, I hope we all do not take it for granted.

 

[U2DMfan]

Dalton already used Gaylord last night, didn't he?

You guys are bringing your A-game.

 

[coolian2]

Ah, The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. I remember that book fondly.

Most of GAFs crushes are still quite into Dr. Seuss, incidentally.

 

[corianderstem]

I hope we all do not take it for granted.

I'll send him a bundt cake.





Seriously, though - I can't even comprehend how someone can be so dominant.

 

[No spoken words]

Dalto already used Gaylord last night, didn't he?

You guys are bringing your A-game.

I think that we're all bringing out the best in each other. That's what the Olympics are all about, really.

 

[No spoken words]

I'll send him a bundt cake.





Seriously, though - I can't even comprehend how someone can be so dominant.

Not sure what the bundt cake reference means, sorry.

Yes! You waltz right into the thread, and the first shot you take, you drain from three-point land, nothing but net.

 

[coolian2]

Oh, and in regards to the gymnastics: broken necks waiting to happen. Shit, it's scary to watch.

 

[coolian2]

Yes! You waltz right into the thread, and the first shot you take, you drain from three-point land, nothing but net.

Swish

 

[speedracer]

Yes! You waltz right into the thread, and the first shot you take, you drain from three-point land, nothing but net.

It'd be nice if USA basketball had a player who could do that...

 

[No spoken words]

Swish

Damn fucking right.

 

[corianderstem]

Not sure what the bundt cake reference means, sorry.

It was me not taking Phelps for granted! It was me sending him a gesture of my amazement.







It's actually something Mulder says sarcastically in an episode of the X-Files.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Alright, so Alicia falters but then she lifts herself out of the miry clay and finishes strong.

Then, of course, as I predicted...Nasty Nas and Shawny Shawn are PERFECT.

Bring on the floor. Let's hope all three chinese girls fuck up.

 

[No spoken words]

It'd be nice if USA basketball had a player who could do that...

We were talking about this at work today....could use one more shooter, and, would be nice to have someone to back up Howard a little better than Boozer can....Okafor, Camby, Stoudamire, etc....someone to rebound and block shots.

This way, the USA can defend the perimeter better than they will as they play better teams...big man in the middle allows them to not double down low.....

 

[coolian2]

Damn fucking right.

Is he around? I'd be gutted for it to be a wasted shot.

 

[No spoken words]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[corianderstem]

Alright, so Alicia falters but then she lifts herself out of the miry clay and finishes strong.

Well, I do try.


Oh, wait ....

 

[No spoken words]

Is he around? I'd be gutted for it to be a wasted shot.

Oh, he's around.

 

[No spoken words]

Well, I do try.


Oh, wait ....

Yeah, you just falter.
