Anyone else following the Olympics?

America snipped, wrapped and handed the shit-talking French their own testicles in the record-shattering freestyle 400. I was probably waking the neighbors with my excitement. It was AWESOME!

GO AMERICA!

Yes, I did, and I feel so sorry for the teams that came in 3rd through 5th.

All 3 broke the world record as well, but will be forgotten.

But yeah, it was pretty kick ass!

Yeah, but what is up with China? They are rockin everyone in the medal count. That ain't cool.

I saw the famous bout of swimming, and it makes me think: why whine or cry about a SILVER FUCKING MEDAL!? I saw the look of utter disappointment on the other swimmers' faces, but come on! You're still the second best in the WORLD at something! Quit bitching.

Also, Canada sucks.

Loki, I agree on both points. I guess if you train for one thing the first 20-ish years of your life, and you only get one shot at it, it would be hard to not fulfill your dreams. The worst is the 100m track race. I mean the runners are sub-10 seconds. There is no time to make up for a mistake. You either do it perfectly and hope to win, or you make a small mistake and you are SOL.

At least Canadians gave us Hockey, eh?

I love hockey! It's like NASCAR, except instead of waiting for a wreck, the fans are waiting for a fight.

Phelps rocks my world!

I saw the overall medals chart last night, and China has nearly double the golds that we do. However, we have a higher total number of medals won. Which is better?

Interesting rant on that here:

I saw an image that compared the BBC's reporting of most gold to MSNBC's most medals. Interesting.
