Watching the Olympics

[GuyJean]

.. Let's hope the US women's team don't drop it

I think they just dropped it!!!

GJ

[IkemenTommy]

Shit! I missed the men's 4x for softball!?

They didn't show the event here in Japan because Track&Field is considered a non-Japanese event here so it's not worth broadcasting.

The softball talk will be all over the news for the next 10 days or so.

Thanks a lot asshole

Yeah. I was about to correct myself but thanks for pointing it out.

That combined with the crying announcer are the very reasons that I wanted Japan to lose (aside from the fact that I'm American).

At least Irairai might benefit from the loss.

If it hadn't happened before, these Olympics have officially crowned Jamaica as the sprint champions of the world.

Final comment on the Japanese women's softball team (who played a great game and definitely deserved to win), they were able to overcome what my pro-Japan son calls the national curse--the inability of any Japan national team to score (regardless of sport).

[IkemenTommy]

I read on 2ch or elsewhere that most of the U-S-A chanting from the crowds, including the softball games, were made by the anti-Japan Chinese in the stands. Not only are they anti-Japanese, they have been notorious for booing against other countries at various events.

Not trying to sound like Takenchamp here but what can you expect from a country with a low cultural standard?

[baka tono]

It would have helped if the female announcer didnt sound like she had been sucking back a pack a day for twenty years.

WTF

Total Deja-Vu, US womens team fail to pass the dildo

almost an exact copy of the US men's race

women's anchor Lauryn Williams flubbed her exchange with Torri Edwards, their baton dropping to the ground

Unlike the men, who stopped racing, Williams scrambled back on the wet track to pick up the baton and finish the lap. The United States, of course, was the last of eight teams

[IkemenTommy]

baton dropped again at Olympics

Pass the Dildo relay got fucked up for team USA

Gay Drops Baton, U.S. Out

The U.S. men's 100-meter team was eliminated in round one when Tyson Gay, running the final leg, could not hold onto the dildo from Darvis Patton. Martin and Travis ran great and the U.S. would surely have advanced easily.

That was fuckin' Gay!

Maybe they work at the factories that manufacture stuff to be sold at Wal-mart?

US just beat Brazil in OT to win the gold in women's soccer.

What's with the Aussie women's basketball team, and all the tats, not to mention the prison-yard play. They athletes, or actors from Oz...?

Fucking awesome! Makes up for losing the gold in womens' softball to Japan.

[Greji]

Agreed. Although I wouldn't want to sell the J-gals short on that softball win. Obviously the underdog and underpowered, they had to play a helluva game against Australia just to get there. I don't believe the US gals were over confident, but they just weren't able to capitalize on their chances and as a result, I think J-gals deserved their win for their consistency and grit.

[canman]

It's good to see someone else win once in a while, but are the softball players going to become the new Arakawa Shizukas of these games, and their victory will be replayed over and over again.
Where is the Canadian horse jumper, haven't seen hide nor hair of him. He was a gold medalist!

How many horses did he have to jump?

I guess they blew that one. I just saw the highlights and Japan lost 6-2. I bet Greji is up and excited that his buddy Hoshino got wacked.

Japan's team for the five-way lesbian wrestling event...



It's Time to Kick Out Some Olympic Sports
TIME Magazine Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008 By HANNAH BEECH / BEIJING ....Synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics involve such copious amounts of cosmetics that they make a Texas beauty pageant look sedate. Yes, thighs strain with effort, but I'm distracted by the twirling toes and the bleached teeth framed by rictus smiles. And the accoutrements of rhythmic gymnastics — the hoop, the swirling ribbon — divert from the balletic grace of the athletes....

[Iraira]

Not to get all Star Wars Emperor-ish, but, just one more loss for Japan, and Hoshino's failure will be complete.

and anyone got video of the 5 girls above scissoring?

Yes, since when did fur-trading ever become a sport? Thank god no one is crying for equal rights for men on this one.

It's not just me. My whole office staff here (all J-types), although disappointed at the loss, were of the unanimous opinion that he is an asshole and would look nice wearing a castration. They, like I, felt he lost the game by how he used his pitchers. Iwase has been horrible and is definitely not on the best of his game right now (he had a 10.00 plus ERA for the Olympics before today's game) and Mr. Teach the World how great J-baseball is, puts him in as the holder at the most crucial spot. Naturally, the K-boys knock his dick in the dust and now, Mr. Wonderful has to get his team together to beat the loser of the Cuba-USA game, or it's on the way home with a losing record and no medals. Sorry for the team, but it couldn't happen to a better asshole.

I couldn't get one, had to leave half way through for a wank....

It's Time to Kick Out Some Olympic Sports

[SIZE="5"]Yes![/SIZE]

And here is my list:

Synchronized swimming
Synchronized diving
Synchronized anything
BMX
Mountain Biking
Equestrian (alternately, we could award medals to the horses rather than the riders, or just ban all humans from riding and let the horses do their thing by themselves).
Kayak & Canoe
Trampoline
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Badminton
Ping Pong
Water Polo

And while we're at it, time to fix the Winter Games too. Eliminate:
Snowboarding
Curling
Freestyle skiing

All of these "sports" are ridiculous, and should join the list of discontinued Olympic events like tug-of-war, live pigeon shooting, indian club swinging and croquet. Actually, I'd rather watch a tug of war or croquet than any of those current events.

Oh and one more thing to eliminate, in order to return to the original Olympic ideal: clothing. All athletes should compete as the original Greeks did, nude, wearing nothing but a coat of olive oil.

Yeah, it's pretty simple really: never use 6 pitchers when 3 or 4 will do.

Of course, if I had my way, any team that had the the first batter of the game get to 2nd and then proceeded to sacrafice him over to 3rd would lose on principle--never play for 1 run unless it absolutely makes the difference between winning and losing.

As the cameras panned over the dugout throughout the game, I got the feeling that the Japanese players were just clinging to that slim lead hoping that the game would hurry up and end before the clock struck midnight. Then when Korea tied it up in the 8th, they looked like they knew they were going to lose.

Water polo is a legit team sport, just like soccer or basketball. I wouldn't go to the extremes to get rid of that.

Synchronized diving, synchronized circle jerk masturbation (team and double), I would also add walking to the list. That's got to be the stupidest event ever invented. Sailing is borderline but I will let that one slide for now.

Stranded by a rising river, I'd want to be with someone who could either swim across it, jump over it, or just throw me over her shoulder and carry me across. Gymnastics, triple jump, javelin: all of these might conceivably be useful at times like these. Brave knights did not rescue damsels in distress with a deft hand at softball. It was fencing, pole vaulting and archery that won the day.

This is, of course, why walking continues to be the stupidest event at the Olympic Games. Why don't they just run? As one commentator said during the Sydney Games, a contest to see who can walk the fastest is like a contest to see who can whisper the loudest.

It would have been a strange Neanderthal who thought: "I shall retreat from this advancing river of molten lava, but, a-ha, here's the rub, I shall always keep one foot in contact with the ground." Actually, it would have been a dead Neanderthal. Perhaps that is what the famous "Iceman" of Austria was doing when the glacier overtook him.
