Dalton and NSW's Beijing Olympics Thread - Part III

[anitram]

Right, and that's the partial pwnage that remains. But I knew those judges screwed someone out of something by giving Shinny McLanding a medal!

You know what I was thinking today when she finished the beam? That she could finally go home. Remember this was the girl who called her parents begging them to let her come come and they said no, they were too poor and she had to stay and train.

Sniff, she gets to go home now.

 

[corianderstem]

Will this be in the test?

Yes, goddamnit.

Anitram, I didn't realize that was the same gymnast. At least she went home with a medal. Maybe the judges took pity on her and ignored the fact that she, you know, landed on her shins.

 

[coolian2]

Yes, goddamnit.

Shit.

*takes notes*

 

[anitram]

Yep, same one. The Chinese Government finally gave her family a new house this last year and she got to go see it....it had been something like 5 or 6 years since she'd been home.

All you need to know is this:

corianderstem dislikes being wrong but will do her best to accept pwnage with some amount of grace and dignity.

They're scary.

Discuss, with reference to the 2005 ice skating world championships. Include references, do not use the letter 'E'.

I totally got that sport out of my ass. Or pulld it out of my ars, if you will.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Yep, same one. The Chinese Government finally gave her family a new house this last year and she got to go see it....it had been something like 5 or 6 years since she'd been home.

Gee, that's nice of them to go ahead and buy the family a house.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, but then they just bulldozed it anyway to make room for a new Olympic stadium.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Apparently Shawn has been saying in interviews that she is leaning towards returning to Olympic competition in 2012.

WooooooooHoooooooo. It's four years away, but I'm already praying that she wins the all-around Gold.

It's like all the russian gymnast/skater stories of trials and tribulations back in the 80's.

You've got to admit, communism gets things done.

Communism was just a red herring!!!

 

[Sicy]

So there's a runner with the last name Hooker and another with the last name Dix?

Sorry just found that amusing.

 

[corianderstem]

There should be a runner named Dix Hooker.

 

[Sicy]

lol.

 

[anitram]

So there's a runner with the last name Hooker and another with the last name Dix?

Sorry just found that amusing.

There is also a runner named Queen, with sisters Princess and Empress and brother God.

 

[coolian2]

I think he's in the five inch shagathon.

 

[bono_212]

So it all has nothing to do with the disappearing nuclear physicist and Colonel Mustard's work on the new fusion bomb?

 

[Sicy]

Seriously??

 

[corianderstem]

In that event, people get screwed INTO medals instead of out of them.

[anitram]

Seriously??

Yes! Her name is Queen Harrison, she's an American - I think she runs in the 400 metre event?

Lai Lai Lai Lai FTW

I was wondering if anyone would catch the reference!

too bad she missed the finals though

For some reason that's no longer in my top ten favorite films, but next time I recalculate said list, I'm sure it will reenter.

It's not a judged event, it's more of a points race.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Well, I hope they got tickets to see something, like the hammer throw or other such. Maybe the next stadium could resemble a bee hive.
