The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread

[Dalton]

Nah, Bonnie Blair was born somewhere in Wisconsin

My parents have yet to reveal to me where I was born. No matter how many times I ask.

Well in their defense its hard to remember stuff like that when you're so high. Plus all those dumpsters look alike.

 

[U2DMfan]

Well, if I had to go with one in the Winter Olympics, that's tougher.

Maybe Katarina Witt.

or Yamaguchi.

or
The aluminum foil covered cucumber in Brian Boitano's pants. .

Witness protection, perhaps?

You're so damned mean. Why are you like this, Dalton? You're mean.

I wish that the announcers would get struck by lightning. They are so US-biased and awful that I can't stand it. MUTE here we come!

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I don't know how much more of Tim Daggett I can take.

 

[corianderstem]

Bonnie Blair was awesome.

 

[zonelistener]

someday if you are jetting through dulles, you should say hi.

We jetted through Reagan a few months back. Next time!

 

[trevster2k]

Gee, think the world record will be broken again.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't know how much more of Tim Daggett I can take.

I started muting them tonight.

Phelps time!

I can't stand all the ooohing and ahhhing over the chinese. They loved the Chinese men last night too. Too much grunting! "uuuugh! That was near perfect!"

:gag:

 

[phanan]

They are flying.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Honestly, phuck Phelps.

I wanna watch my gymnastics dammit.

One of these little chinese girls needs to fall or somethin.

 

[Dalton]

You're so damned mean. Why are you like this, Dalton? You're mean.

I was raised by wolves. And they weren't even nice wolves.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

wow. they seem....rather ahead?

 

[anitram]

I hope they lap somebody. That would be solid.

That drives me crazy too, but I always wanted to know - in other countries, aren't they focused on their own athletes as well? I wish they wouldn't do it, but it's unreasonable to expect they don't at all. But yeah, they could tone it down. Not that they would.

I mainly wish they wouldn't keep such a close watch on medal counts. I don't fucking care how many medals the US has won - it's not about that, you stupid, smug, USA!USA!USA!USA! boneheads.

And too many puff pieces. I don't care about yet another athlete's amazing story of overcoming adversity. I'd rather actually, you know, WATCH THE OLYMPICS.

 

[U2DMfan]

World class ass kicking.

 

[anitram]

That drives me crazy too, but I always wanted to know - in other countries, aren't they focused on their own athletes as well?

It's kind of like Irvine said - there are very few countries that can win as many medals as China or the US so no, it's not that bad simply because they don't have world class athletes in every sport.

 

[U2DMfan]

I just want to know what's coming up next, or in the next hour or the next few hours or what's on the other NBC affiliated channels.

They do a terrible job of pimping this thing.

Don't tell that to the Chinese! They may pull your teeth out or something.

 

[No spoken words]

Don't tell that to the Chinese! They may pull your teeth out or something.

And then give her Peter Pan drugs.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Where are you seeing gymnastics? They're still throwing little girls off a tall board into a pool over here.

I want the gymnastics, too. I am both fascinated and horrified by it.
