 ...oh god.  these people need to stop representing our country.  
 
 (despite the friggin sweet routines of course, minus the fuck ups on the pommel horse)

i had to mute the TV, it was unbearable after a while ... on to ogling [strike]jennie finch[/strike]crystl bustos, it's kind of nice to not have shit to do for 3 months

you people need to stop watching mens gymnastics period!!
 
 what with all the crap they are having on 7 channels and the internet...theres no excuse to be watching men in tights!

i was very excited when i got an email today that said "UCSB Wins Gold". Jason Lezak went to my school which was cool to read (and the fact that his finish was f'ing incredible!).
 
 Im addicted to the swimming and diving.

I think she's adorable, the lip-syncing bitch in the pig tails can fuck off back to the gymnastics team because she's just about the right age.

  I'd love to see that too, but it's unlikely seeing as there is no such thing as a 2000 meter medley.  Maybe the biathalon in the winter games?  ski, shoot.  ski, shoot.

I love that of all things to take issue with in my statement, you've chosen the fact that I didn't pick a real event.  That's awesome.

man - "this whole chinese thing is a disgrace."
 
 man - "what do you mean?"
 
 man -  "they are so evil and are mean to other countries, and lie about stuff to get their way and don't want people to really have freedoms beyond what the government wants them to want."
 
 man -  "yeah . . . you want to go get some food."
 
 man -  "how bout chinese?  i like how the duck doesn't come with the head like in the picture on the menu.  and those chopsticks; they're so crazy."

neither has Ireland, although we came agonizingly close in the K1 slalom (4th) and our boxers are looking fairly good, iirc all 5 have made it through to the quarter finals

I felt both bad for the Irish bloke in the K1 and happy for the competitor from Togo who had the run of his life to take the bronze.
 
 How's the Irish looking in track and field?
