"I'm beginning to like the Olympics."

It's excellent, like a live version of Auntie's Sporting Bloomers. So far 'Great' Britain has managed to lose nearly every event, except for the badminton, and after 4 years of training, came second in the bombing competition. Then one of our most prized athletes jumped in a swimming pool and hit a camera (wtf!?), and proceeded to sob live on television, to millions of people, about how she's wasted 4 years of her life. *slow claps* you spend your life training for this one day, then crap your legs up. Better than that was the bike-riding-lady who rode into a wall. It's like there's been a huge mix-up and we sent our Special Olympics team in for the real thing.

The women's volleyball was pretty good though...

I was going to mention that when someone complained that we hadn't had any shockingly poor entrants yet, but didn't.

Did anybody else see our entrant for the weightlifting?

He ambles into the arena shockingly late, proceeds to try and lift the weight with 2 seconds left before his attempt is declared void, manages to lift the weight about 20cm off the ground, drops the weight and falls over with a back injury.

It was gold.

Zzzzing!

Oh, and leave 'Tweedle' alone.

I may have only met her a handful of times, when I was like 7, but I still feel obliged to defend her.

She's mixing it with the best in the world in her chosen field while you (and the rest of us) sit on our asses in abject mediocrity.
And the cheap shots at peoples' appearance aren't really called for. I'm sure you're not so perfect yourself.

They're trying to get pool into the olympics.
While I feel I ought to be all for it, it.. well, it'd just be an insult to the proper athletes - hudreds of athletes physically conditioned close to perfection for their respective sports, and a bunch of pub bums with five bellies, a smokers cough and an alcohol dependency.

Ah well, at least the shooting event 'athletes' wouldn't feel so bad about themselves :^)

The paralympics if funnier. People fall off wheelchairs and can't get back up again!!111

sorry

I'm actually enjoying watching the highlights.

Still, think it's a waste of orgy and 4 years for people.

I felt sorry for that swimmer though.

I like the beach volleyball
