The snowboarding and skiing competitions are pretty cool looking.


Estonia? 3 medals?

Frontside 1260?

Where's Bobsledding? I demand Jamaican bobsledding. And John Candy.


I wanted to see Michelle Kwan finally win a gold medal. And I wanted to see her hot asian ass on ice. Bitch wimped out on me dammit.  :angry:

Admittedly, I watched for some of those fifteen minutes.  I saw auditions when the show first came out and then the last couple of episodes of the first season.  Then the second season came and pissed me off by booting off the most talented singer for having done some smutty pictures, nevermind a chick from season one had supposedly been a stripper.  And then there was this whole "you're too fat" to the girls but "you're a big cuddly teddybear" to grotesque man-blob Ruben.

Also, the American skating pair that lost to the Russians live in the suburbs of Detroit just 20 miles from where I live. I swear, that damn thing was rigged, the Russians always win. They won last time only thanks to some stupid French frog judge that changed the vote even though the Canadians won.

The whole fucking games are rigged, I swear. I wonder what KGB agent is behind the scenes?

I'd heard that Michelle was a bit of a bitch as well.  Not many of her fellow skaters are sighing regretfully about what a loss her withdrawal was.  :P

Sasha owned last night.  And the Russian chick's name is SLUTskaya. Huh-huh.  Where's Beavis & Butthead when you need 'em?

I do admit to watching women's skating from time to time.  I just can't watch it very long before I realize those nice legs and butts don't normally have nice boobies attached to the same body.

I read something that Michelle Kwan can't do a lot of the leaps most of the younger chicks can...but it's not so much age as it is that she never could get air.

I've actually been following it pretty closely.  I tend to zone out during figure skating though.

Unless the girl's especially attractive.  Then I'll stick around for a few minutes.

We laughed our fucking asses off watching paired ice skating with all the fruity fucking costumes and the faces and gestures the italian guy was making while wearing the fruitiest of all costumes ever.  We re-watched his ending hand flourish twice with tivo.  That shit was hilarious and then we laughed about how it would be funny if the guy actually wasn't gay and did an interview in his costume in a manly voice saying things like "Yeah, these fags got nothin on me".

Breast are composed of fat tissue and most elite-level figure skaters don't have the extra fat.  Look at Sasha Cohen who is around 20 pounds underweight.

Michelle Kwan has never been a jumper.  Her strong suit has always been her artistry.  That worked with the old 6.0 system not this new points systems.  

As for the freaky men's costumes I don't know what those guys were thinking.  I believe most of them are batting for the other team.  They were really out there: Stephane Lambiel's zebra print, Johnny Weir's swan outfit complete with red glove, that puffy thing  Jeffery Buttle was wearing.    :blink:

Post by: The D on Feb 25, 2006, 03:21:19 PM
The ending to figure skating was almost disappointing.

Cohen fell twice, and it didn't look like she'd even get a medal. Then Slutskaya fell. And all of a sudden, some Japanese woman no one even thought would get to the top 5 skated flawlessly and won the gold medal by a mile. Cohen got silver, and the russian got bronze.

As much as I wanted Cohen to get gold, this medal was the first medal the Japanese had won in the games. As of that moment, they were at 1 gold, and 0 silver and bronze. So for a Jap to beat the two best nations is damn good luck. Most likely she would have only gotten bronze had the two other girls not fallen.

While a convincing argument, the fact that they won't be getting naked and/or kissing each other lowers the entertainment value for me.

Hmm, not bad. I guess I was owned.

Thoughts about the olympics:

What kind of name is Apollo Ohno? Every time I see him, I expected him to fly around in a Viper.

The sports I enjoyed watching was halfpipe, skijump, downhill speed skiing, bobsledding, and woman's figure skating. That new sport, the downhill snowboard racing, was cool and reminded me of SSX for some reason. Also, I forgot what it was called but I liked the sport where you ski down a hill, go up a vertical ramp that launches you into the air, and then you do some stunts before falling 50 feet and slamming into the ground. Now that's hardcore.

Also, the air the american women got in halfpipe was sweet.

Unlike the Oscars... my trophies are not made out of chocolate. :(

And yeah, I got an actual trophy.  But the thing cost maybe 67 cents to make.  It was some promotional event Nintendo did with Bradlees... you went in and did some stuff on the Power Pad and they tallied your results.   I came in 1st place for the region, I guess, in Track and Field's Long Jump... and about a week later got a phonecall to come in and get my Trophy.  So I went in 3 days later and picked it up.  Some some other kids too getting them for other categories.  I believe Red was 1st, Blue was 2nd and Green was 3rd.

In OAC I won a Super Mario bros. 1 best score in 5 minutes contest and in doing so go a book, a CD and some movie passes. My name was said on the school announcements in the morning and I got razzed for it all day. I kept my gaming skills on the DL a bit more in high school.
