Olympics..Yea or Ney

Recommended Posts

Skeleton Bob, Downhill, Super-G and Ski jumping are awesome for the sheer balls to the wall speed and adrenaline.

Some of the endurance events like biathlon are also pretty hardcore.

Can't wait for it all to get started!B|
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You know....those skiers....it is truely amazing what they can do. How does one figure out that they have the balls to do that. They really must be unique people. I guess alot like skydivers, y'know? But with skydiving we are alittle more safety concious aleast we have a back up, those skiers flying off the jump are really taking life by the balls.

I remember watching Matti Nuykenen (spelling?) and being amazed the guy wasn't hurt. He jumped so far that he landed on the flattened portion of hill, and STILL stuck it. I mean, can you imagine jumping 600 feet through the air with skis?

Though I hear he's a true scumbucket as a human being...

I was working at the 2004 Olympics, well I was volunteering but anyway, it was good fun, I don't like the cold so I say winter Olympics nay. Although I don't mind a trip to Italy...

However, from the comfort of my armchair I'd like to watch some skeleton guys....now that must be more dangerous than BASE.

I LOVE the Olympics and will definitely be watching as much as I can. I prefer the Summer Olympics but will still be happy to watch the Winter one.

EXACTLY the way I feel. I love the fact that people devote so much of who they are and put it all on the line. I especially like the personal profiles of competitors as the events unfold.

Things I hate........Bob Costas. What a dork, I bet he has to sit down to pee. Saddest part? He's half greek! :|

One of the greatest things about living near the border is that we get Canadian TV on our cable systems so we get Canadian coverage of the Olympics. Not only do they have a lot less fluff and less annoying talking heads, often they'll have different events on at different times, so you can jump around to find the event you feel like watching. I still remember the summer games a few years ago where there was women's beach volleyball on one channel and men's beach volleyball on the other. Something to make everyone hot! ;)

*steps away from the computer* <-- would be too easy. :P

did I mention how much Bob Costas annoys me?

Does anybody have any ideas on how to have his ethnicity revoked LEGALLY? Ok, ok, it doesn't have to be legal. >:(
