Is the Olympics still going on?
Or has it even started yet? I can't tell the difference anymore.

3. I don't know, the bikini gals were on alot..but it's hard to find the rest
of it. Saw some boxing....??? Amazing..I used to look forward to the Olympics. I even missed the opening festivities because I couldn't find the time they were on.

Winter Olyp's are always the best, but these are really :boring: if one can find the events at all. :shrug: :hi: Keph...

15. The "missing Olympics" thanks for pointing it out...Our whole life is
missing...no altruistic vision...no support for athletes, creatives and those with vision..

The Bush RW Fundies death of expression...no matter how we try to express our joy as humans...they want to deal with DEATH...:puke:

5. I've seen some people getting wet and some tumblers falling
on their arses, but overall rather boring regardless what the TV types are saying. It's always like this. Lull us to sleep with swimming and gymnastics(keeping it going till late late in the evening) before track and field kicks in. The other cable outlets are OK if you can a chance to see some of the other stuff.

8. Well, tell me if they decide to start competing in the nude again
That might make it more interesting...for both sexes these days.

10. I think it runs for 16 days total, that's normal.
Opening ceremonies were last Friday, so I have closing ceremonies next Saturday. :shrug:

Well, I've enjoyed the History Channel's Greek shows, so I guess all isn't lost.

12. Yes.
Since they're not showing the kickass womens softball team during prime time!!! After Michael Phelps' last race, it's over for me.

13. The Men's 10,000m was good. SPOILER WARNING...










The Ethiopians looked really good out there. Shame that Gebreselasie didn't medal.
