Olympics

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Bored & watching the Olympic coverage. Must say, men's gymanstics is pretty interesting. The kid from Great Britian that just won a medal was a little cutie! :lol: Guess I could be watching something worse than young guys with toned bods. Too bad they're so short! :lol:

@LittleSister...I agree with you about the diving. Gymanstics and diving are usually the only things I watch, unless they decide to televise the equestrian events, which they usually don't. If they do, it's usually at a weird time.

Damn! That was probably late morning or early afternoon for me. I keep forgetting that the games are even on. Hmmm...never heard anyone compare a horse's ears to antennae before. :lol:

Whenever i have the chance i do enjoy watching women's gymnastics and swimming jumps... i mean, it's just art.

The female body, that is.

Generally though i don't spend that much tissue watching them as when i was younger...

Who remembers when that one diver hit the head on the platform and pluged the 30 feet like a dead albatros?

Not really into the Olympics as such, but if you (attempt) to play sport like I do you can empathise and admire someone's skill, dexterity and determination to Be The Best Of The Best.

Or is that Top Gun? :eek:

True that, I can't watch it for a long period of time.

Then again, I think it is still much more interesting to watch than say the Tour de France, EK football or bloody tennis.

As opposed to the three sports I mentioned, Olympic sporters really TRY to do their best, thus earning my respect.

Otherwise, I was pretty disappointed when China completely failed to smack two divers in the concrete slab during Synchrone Diving :| :twisted:

A theocracy ruled by the Dalai Lama isn't necessarily going to be any more democratic than external Chinese rule... :innocent:

But...it would certainly be a less violent one. And less opposed.

Just playing devil's advocate. :)

Given the current Dalai Lama's views as I understand them, he's pretty pro-democracy.
