How the hell do these people live through their events?! Sheesh, just the litany of surgeries some of these athletes have had is mind-numbing.<br /><br />Unlike you, though, I do like the figure skating. I keeping thinking that one of these days, one of those pretty girls (or boys) is gonna fall on her (or his) ass and just sit there. That's what I would do. Then I'd slink off the ice, never to return. But, no, they bounce back up and keep going, trying to keep a brave smile on their faces. <br /><br />Had ya going there, didn't I? Gimme biathlon, short track speed skating, or downhill any day.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-46546314899142740322010-02-19T19:35:10.864-08:002010-02-19T19:35:10.864-08:00Apropos of nothing---where did you get that awesom...Apropos of nothing---where did you get that awesome chair???

I especially love how the lead can change in about 5 seconds when some poor Swedish guy misses a shot and drops back 15 places.

I'm hoping for it to either be the Russians or Chinese because you know their coaches will lose their shit and start screaming at the girl with a bloody face for being a fuck up. <br /><br />Anyways. <br /><br />I always think Valentines Day is rivals News Years Eve in the day most people contract STD's. Surely their is a study on that.Sara Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641499434694637445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-15681404090463827092010-02-13T07:02:06.541-08:002010-02-13T07:02:06.541-08:00Though I completely agree with your thorough asses...Though I completely agree with your thorough assessment of the Olympics, I'd like to point out one very redeeming quality of Valentines Day. Chocolate! Need I say more? Not only are you given free rein to shove as much chocolate down your throat as is physically possible (and with NO judgement), you're given flowers too! I'm just sayin', V-Day, not all bad......MoonstruckinMontanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123734048607927254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-32811521848857144902010-02-12T19:00:39.841-08:002010-02-12T19:00:39.841-08:00Oooooh...there are Summer Olympics games that are ...Oooooh...there are Summer Olympics games that are death-defying.<br /><br />http://www.sallycousins.com/images/STRIKER_at_badminton.jpg<br /><br />http://useventing.com/resources/images/news/2007/Badminton/XCountry236GinaMiles-McKinlaigh.jpg<br /><br />http://www.futuresporthorses.co.uk/Images/M%20-%20Cornish_Faer.jpg<br /><br />Fall photo: http://regardinghorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/cross-country-dangers.jpg<br /><br />And another fall: http://www.eventingworldwide.com/media/XCcorner/WaitFence5.jpgGaladrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383321455657803304noreply@blogger.com
