The big and shiny all about the Olympics thread

[my miss storm cat]

Yeah yeah, I know this should probably be in sports but whatever. Lets talk about the Olympics!

Which events do you all like?

I always let others go first. Hell this time I'll start!

Anything with Apollo.

Luge or any other event whereas participants lay on their backs.

Bobsled! (No you sick people, not for the crashes. It's cool).

Skating but only individual events. Will lapse into a coma if forced to watch pairs and God help us NO dancing (unless Americas Best Dance Crew-type of dancing is ever given green light fuhgettaboutit).

Ski Jumping or whatever real name is.

Downhill.

Snowboarding. (Shaun White!)

I think that's it.



Cannot understand...

Slalom. The event itself isn't completely boring but I feel like i have a speech impediment every time i say it. Either that or I've taken too many Xanax or something.

Curling which for some reason always makes me think of 3 things...

1. Is this some kinda joke? I mean really, is it?

2. the outer ring of the 7th circle of Dantes Inferno. I know, I know... this might not make sense to some but I'll bet it does to one or two of you.

3. The 2006 TBN Curling team (you know who you are). It was different when we reinvented it, n'est ce pas? ***

*** It's a good thing Vic doesn't look down here or Andy would have to explain it.

Biathlon. One word. Huh?

Okay so please share... what do you like? Hate? Will there be special Olympic Scavatars available and yes the word combination of Special and olympics was an accident...

Who is excited? Who couldn't care less?

Who roots for the USA only? Who roots for teams based on cuteness or a pathetic number of athletes or for any other weird reason?

Anyone?
