Hm. I don't know about you guys, but I'm jumping ship to another country the second shit gets really hot & heavy.

Men's 400 relay had an amazing finish... anyone watch that..

That was amazing come from behind victory in only like 3 strokes.
Totally amazing.

hey guys... dunno if you heard about the olympics opening ceremony scam... they had some fake CGI footage. i found that humourous. also found it humourous how the western countries seem to be totally player hating on anything China do. it's like... na na na na nahhhhh nah, you guys faked it. class childishness. who care?

but on a serious note

I'm certainly hoping the death count doesn't start overtaking the medal count, and I'm not kidding.

indeed...

China....The World's Chris Angel.... :O)

Yeah I think there are far worse things that China is doing....
Buying Sudanese Oil, Tibet, etc....
Do we really need to nit pick on this crap. Plus if it was broadcast on NBC....They had to be involved in some way.

BEIJING (AP)—One little girl had the looks. The other had the voice.

So in a last-minute move demanded by one of China’s highest officials, the two were put together for the Olympic opening ceremony, with one lip-synching “Ode to the Motherland” over the other’s singing.

The real singer, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, with her chubby face and crooked baby teeth, wasn’t good looking enough for the ceremony, its chief music director told state-owned Beijing Radio.

So the pigtailed Lin Miaoke, a veteran of television ads, mouthed the words with a pixie smile for a stadium of 91,000 and a worldwide TV audience. “I felt so beautiful in my red dress,” the tiny 9-year-old told the China Daily newspaper.

Peiyi later told China Central Television that just having her voice used was an honor.

It was the latest example of the lengths the image-obsessed China is taking to create a perfect Summer Games.

ETC............

Well that an faking the ages of the Women's Olympic Gymnast team.
Fake fireworks, fake singing (what is this a Hannah Montana episode) and faking ages. Nive
I was happy to hear that for India!
Oh...And go Michael Phelps!!!

Yes, with nearly a billion people you think they could find a few more athletes that could stand out. Not really their thing though.

On the gender faking......
"Yes Tim, that tuck job is beyond measure. I think they could have went smaller on the impants though."
Tim - "It is a perfect tuck job. The tuck job alone brings their difficulty level up to a 7.125 making the American woman's team not even in contention this time out."
"This American team does have a major obstacle facing this omni-gender team. I mean where do you find 6, 4' 5" transgender bodybuilder gymnasts."
"China's where you find them Tim, China."

Could be. Some of them had their hair pulled back so tight they could have passed for Mongolian.

look!!!

You know some shit like this is going to happen because the U.S. is going to call the WAAAAAAAMBULANCE.

<blockquote>The Chinese government has so far arrested most of the people that have made the requests. That's fair right?</blockquote>


Just as fair as crying foul about your rivals having a better team and BAWWWWWW-ing to the higher ups about it.

<blockquote>Well it's a legit arguement. Cheating is cheating.</blockquote>


Face facts, Ed. The Chinese had a better team. The end. The Americans choked. Alicia SackOfRamenNoodles fell down twice. The end.

And my statement....think about it....imagine if you had won and your opponent cried foul & wanted you investigated, even though you beat them fair & square, they still wanted to be a sore loser & find some loophole that allowed them to win. Would you say that's fair? Nope. And what's going on with the protests, no, it's not fair either. So I'm actually agreeing with you. So take a deep breath, go write Alicia SaggyRamonesAlbum a love letter or whatever it is you do & calm down.

Right now there are far too many things going on in the World for me to care if the US team protests the medals anyway.
In the end that is up to the Olympic committee anyway so the point is mut.
The Olympics are a destraction and yet there are armies marching into democratic countries and still suicide bombs going off in Iraq....Not front page news right now....Middle of the paper is the best part anyway.

The Chinese government run website posted the "facts" that the gymnast was only going to be 15 this year... THAT is what started this investigation...

Were is the evidence on that? I've been watching all the coverage and no one on NBC has said anything. Also watching BBC news and Listen to NPR all day and I've heard nothing?
The Chinese women did better yes, but the US women were graceful at Silver.
Just because Caitie says it's so, doesn't a make it so.
I've looked...If you can find the story let me see it.....I have no problem agreeing with you if that's the case. The athletes themselves, Alicia in particular, took full credit for her mistakes. Like good team leader and sportswoman.

lol - yea cause we all know that information once posted on the net can be erased...

Seriously who freaking cares... I'm sure that most countries around the world would like that to be investigated...

article....

...The world's foremost expert on female gymnastics Bela Karolyi (whose Romanian by the way) has routinely referred to the 2008 Chinese team as "half people" and in his contributions to NBC as a commentator during the Games he has railed against the Chinese for engaging in age falsification. After China outscored the U.S. in the qualification round, Karolyi had this to say about the Chinese gymnastics officials:

"These people think we are stupid...We are in the business of gymnastics. We know what a kid of 14 or 15 or 16 looks like. What kind of slap in the face is this? They are 12, 14 years old and they get lined up and the government backs them and the federation runs away. There is an age limit and it can't be controlled.
Chinese Olympic officials have forcefully defended He's eligibility, maintaining that when asked, they submitted proper passport documentation to the IOC. He's passport says her date of birth is January 1, 1992, making her 16 and old enough to compete. However, as Karoyli told the AP, "passports mean nothing."

China has a rich history of age falsification in Olympics competition, especially in gymnastics. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, three years after the minimum age was raised to 16 in gymnastics, Chinese gymnast Yang Yun competed and won a bronze medal in the uneven bars (coincidentally this event is also He's specialty). Yang's passport said she was born on December 24, 1984 and turning 16 in the year of the Games, making her eligible. She later confessed in a television interview that she was only 14 at the time of the competition and that she and her coaches had lied about her age.

As in the case of Yang Yun, the existing records prior to the Olympics -- local registries, athletic records and news articles -- were all correct, whereas the documentation she showed Olympic officials to confirm her eligibility proved to be false. It is no coincidence that He Kexin's passport was issued on February 14, 2008, a mere 6 months before the Olympics....

<blockquote>I'm sure that most countries around the world would like that to be investigated...</blockquote>


Really? Then why haven't we heard SHIT from the Romanians, huh? They won the Bronze medal.

Better yet, how come all the other countries aren't having Michael Phelps investigated for steroid use?

(not that I'm saying that he is on 'roids, because he's not, but let's just be objective here for a moment)

Oh, wait...they're not...because the other countries don't feel the need to cry wolf when they lose.....unlike us.

<blockquote>But seriously who gives a flying fuck...
</blockquote>


Deflection.


*ping*

<blockquote>Giving your all is what matters, not winning.</blockquote>


Isn't that what they tell the Special Olympics kids?

Oh and another deflection.

*ping*

<blockquote>
Seriously lets just change the subject shall we...</blockquote>


I concur.



Kerri Walsh is tall. Like, freaky Amazon tall. I want to meet her...because then I'll actually feel short for once in my life.

She's 6' 1"....She looks tall....Sharapova at 6' 2" doesn't seem nearly as tall in pictures.

I did hear that. :O(
Did you ever hear about the Chinese basketball guy that was 7' 9" and had a petuatary gland taken out. I watched on discovery. He was bound for the NBA, but he had too many health problems.

<blockquote>on a sad note... the tallest woman in the world died earlier this week... she was like 7'8" or something around there...</blockquote>


Awww. Sandy Allen died?

: (



I liked her. She was funny as hell.





*sighs*



<blockquote>
Now who sounds like a person who can't take a loss in stride. Maybe you should get off the computer. You've been on it for like 78 straight hours.</blockquote>

I never lose, sugartits. The word "defeat" isn't in my vocabulary.

Now you're stalking me? I'd be flattered....except now I'm wondering if I could call the authorities....Oh...wait...someone already did have to do that when you tried to get ahold of them. Gee, it sure would suck if the wrong people found out about that.


^___^


I think I'll tell them.

The 72 hours thing was a guess. I'm not watching you. Good to know that I my guess was right on though.

Then what do you call it when you beat someone... you don't defeat them... lol

ahh good times...

Hey Ed did you know sugartit is a community Kentucky... So would that make you a multiple communties...

I do like to think of myself in the plural.

Or what? What are you going to do? Crack some bad jokes? Call me a mean old bully? Go whine to someone? Make a threat about how you'll never come back...only to return seventeen seconds later...because you can't stay away or do your job properly?

Actually I was talking about the front page. I still read the site occastionally, but I don't comment.
I haven't been on here much either...Well today yes.
So crack some old jokes? Sure. Better than being a complete bitch.

Einstein was four years old before he could speak and seven before he could read.
Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school.
When Thomas Edison was a boy, his teachers told him he was too stupid to learn anything.
F.W.Woolworth got a job in a dry goods store when he was 21. But his employers would not let him wait on a customer because he "Didn't have enough sense."
A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he had "No good ideas"
Caruso's music teacher told him "You can't sing, you have no voice at all."
Leo Tolstoy flunked out of college.
Verner Von Braun flunked 9th grade algebra.
Admiral Richard E. Byrd had been retired from the navy, as, "Unfit for service" Until he flew over both poles.
Louis Pasteur was rated as mediocre in chemistry when he attended the Royal College
Abraham Lincoln entered The Black Hawk War as a captain and came out a private
Fred Waring was once rejected from high school chorus.
Winston Churchill failed the sixth grade.

Oderint Dum Metuant - Ah the words of a tyrant. Fitting.

I prefer not to be my own female dog or anyone else's female dog... That still makes you a female dog... lol

Not really caring over here...

Those aren't elephants. Those..are Olyphants.

OK...Seriously...Here is some real proof of a conspiracy:
The truth about Alicia!

Nice try, Ed. I recognize all of the URL's.


TLA, he just Rick-Rolled you. A crime that's punishable by death in seventeen countries.

In the US Rick-Roll is only punishable by 18 hours of Rick Astley music....Which is a fate worse than death.

It was to lighten things up a bit. What am I going to be old and grumpy.
Stop being an

It's seriously annoying and certainly unfunny.
Being as I have never seen anyone Rick Rolled on the forum yet....It doesn't seem there is any bitterness. Especially towards me.....Who does it as a joke.
If you are bitter with me and hate my guts raise your hand people....Yeah...I know Azk....I know you hate me. I'm just saying....Let's get a general consensus and if the jury comes back that I am to be torched by Astley spit lyric fire than I will got to the gallows.
Better off....and See, now everyone here is aware of a Rick-Roll if they hadn't been before.
This is a violence free Rick-Rolling environment.

*yawn*


Did you say something? I was fixing a sandwich.

<img src="http://www.marriedtothesea.com/031706/what.jpg" alt="" />

I actually don't have a problem with American losing, but there are some pretty blatant errors. Especially people judging gymnastics from countries that have never won a Gold medal or don't have a system of gymnastics in their country for them to practice judging on a consistent basis. That way they know what the hell they are doing when they judge at the Olympics.
It just seems that comments are made, just because they are American and just because they are complaining. Which I admit is annoying. At the same time it is the US and everything is going to be spun that way.
For example:
Gymnastics is a cruel world—just ask Alicia Sacramone
Alicia losing to someone who didn't even make the landing...Well that stands out a bit. If anything, I have seen more discissions go in favor of the Chinese than against in these games.
But do you actually watch the games? Anyone that actually watched would know why there was such a problem with the scores.
