Powerwalking is an olympic sport?!


WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE?!

Ridiculous. The marathon for losers, and most of the time they're running anyway.

They're not "running" if one foot is touching the ground at all time

Uhoh, 5 songs into the show and nothing crazy has happened yet

 

[Reggo]

So I just told my mom about the fun with Derek of the past days and she's, like, floored.

 

[Reggo]

Extra large french fries, one packet of ketchup.

I'm listening to a Springsteen Setlist party

Which makes me wonder: should we hold a setlist party here in the Museum Voor Oude Kunst?

Uhoh, 5 songs into the show and nothing crazy has happened yet

It's like a U2 show!

 

[bono_212]

Setlist party?

The race walk should not be in the Olympics.

It's boring as shit. But unfortunately, I think it does meet earlier criteria we've discussed for Olympic inclusion.

Ah ha! I figured it out.

The Birds Nest Stadium looks like a less clean, more fragmented version of the way the Olympic Stadium in Sydney looks now.

Fucking awful stadium.

Ridiculous. The marathon for losers, and most of the time they're running anyway.

Ha, that's the best description of race walking ever. And I wish 7 would cut back to the BMX already. I don't care about this Aussie bloke, Jared Tallent. The worst part is, in some earlier race, the commentator blurted out "Australia's got Tallent!"

Heh, any new developments today?

Bruce is shuffling through the signs!

 

[Axver]

Bruce is shuffling through the signs!

Let's take a banner to the next U2 tour. "SPRINGSTEEN TAKES REQUESTS: WHY DON'T YOU?"

 

[coolian2]

One of our commentators in in love with Sarah Walker. I'm sure.

! He's still shuffling through the signs!

 

[coolian2]

Let's take a banner to the next U2 tour. "SPRINGSTEEN TAKES REQUESTS: WHY DON'T YOU?"

Fuck. Yes.

 

[Reggo]

Heh, any new developments today?

Nope, not a word. I'm just gonna wait for him to text me. At this point, it's entertainment, a bringer of lulz.

 

[Reggo]

Fuck. Yes.

I fourth (?) this motion.

 

[Axver]

One of our commentators in in love with Sarah Walker. I'm sure.

I'll be in love with Sarah Walker if she brings home the gold.

6. Good Rockin' Tonight

???? I'm told it's an Elvis song?

 

[coolian2]

I'll be in love with Sarah Walker if she brings home the gold.

I saw her first.

 

[bono_212]

Good Rockin' Tonight is the 131st (add 1 or 2 depending on your criteria) song played on this tour.

It was last played 10/28/1980 in Oakland, CA, a set that contained the song that came out 2 shows ago: Crush on You.

Fuck off bono

 

[Axver]

I saw her first.

Fuck off, that cutie's mine.

Also, I love how Chausson slowed down at the end of the final semi and Walker pipped her at the post!

 

[Reggo]

Boys! Boys! Calm down!

The poor guy's scared, he must be!

 

[Reggo]

The poor guy's scared, he must be!

I dont' understand WHY he's scared. I'm not gonna get upset if he didn't mean it. I'm not gonna get all crazy if he did. Truth be told, nothing much is going to change. He's still gonna be my best friend.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE SONGS ON A SINGLE TOUR?

Fuck off, U2.

Any idea how many concerts this Springsteen tour has had? Over 132 Vertigo shows, U2 did 60 songs - but some of those songs are marginal inclusions, and I'd say they really only did 55 (Ol' Man River and Norwegian Wood were maxi-snippets, Into The Heart and The Cry are counted separately from An Cat Dubh and TEC by U2gigs' backend, and does Happy Birthday really count for anything?).

I asked a member, and you're not going to be happy:

100 by the time the tour is over. 104 if you count the rehearsals and Basie.

 

[Axver]

Oh god, Willers! What a fuck-up. Well, he may be well and truly out of the tournament, but he's gone out in entertaining fashion.

And that American chap, Day, really is the man to beat.
