(I honestly don’t care how well Canada does in the summer Olympics. As long as hockey is interesting during the winter Olympics)

What? You’re not excited about the Olympics? Come on! Some Chinese guy broke some sort of archery record and we haven’t even had the opening ceremony yet! Romney already offended a foreign country on an international stage and we haven’t even had the first presidential debate yet!

I cannot stop seeing lisa blowing bart in the logo.

For tomorrow:

Phelps is swimming for a medal in the 400m medley.
Beach volleyball will be going on all day and is usually pretty entertaining, especially the women. Brazil is on at 5:30. :ass:
USA women’s soccer vs Columbia at 5:00.
Weightlifting interests me. You can check out the women’s snatch at 3:30.

Otherwise the usual assortment of stuff. I can’t wait for the canoe slalom on Sunday! :mamoru:

Wow. Someone REALLY needs to get laid…

Fry, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one here that cares.

Wow. First the board stops caring about cars, then the board stops caring about sports that aren’t hockey? What’s next? Women?

I actually am excited about the games. Mostly weightlifting.

Hysen Pulahu, 77kg class, tested positive for something (unknown) but is fighting it. This sucks, he was going to be fun to watch.

LMAO. Now that’s all I’m gonna see too.

I think the televised Opening Ceremonies start at 7:30PM on NBC.

I’ll be interested in the track-and-field sports, boxing, swimming (Canandaigua NY native Ryan Lochte is said to be Michael Phelp’s biggest competitor), and Women’s Volleyball

Ive got a family friend on the mens archery team finished 18th over all individual and the mens team is 4th overall so far.

.

I said I don’t care how well Canada does, (Or the US for that matter) but I definitely enjoy the individual efforts for certain events and the big stuff like Volleyball and Basketball. I’ll probably put most of my attention on Volleyball because A) Those women in shorts…mmmmm. B) I play and C) Those women in shorts…mmmmm.

I only watch for Womens Soccer. Volleyball isnt bad too.

Notice the Olympic colors and Big Ben falling. This Illuminati card game came out in the 90s.

I think I hear a Jew stealing your Audi. Better log off and go check.

Sure enough. Wonder why they are listed as starting at 1600 on the olympics website? 3 1/2 hours of bullshit before coverage starts?

Don’t generalize by saying a Jew. Jews are not bad.

I’m sure NBC didn’t want to miss a second of ratings-dominating coverage and opted for a 7:30PM start for Americans, 4PM and we’d miss at least an hour.

I think it’s a five-hour difference between EST and London.

Where do you find all this stuff? The card is creepy.

You should see the other cards, like the one that shows the twin towers being destroyed. Like I said this game came out before any of this actually happened.

SUPER AMPED!!!

These athletes are truly amazing
