Dancing is athletic. Haven't Dancing with the Stars and Skating with Celebreties taught you anything!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Athletic does not make it a sport. I have this whole general issue, anyway, about how games, sports, athletic activity, etc., are different things. I realize the IOC does not agree with me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But it's dancing! Dancing isn't a sport!
Jesse and I are as one on this. Actually, I don't think anything that requires that you do whatever it is you're doing in time to a piece of music is a sport.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I felt exactly the same as Wolfram w/r/t the lawyer emails. Total dicks on both ends.
ION, anyone watch Survivor? Jessica, Brenda? Cuz I thought it was awesome! Loved the challenge! Loved the decision on who to boot! Love La Mina!

This. I still don't understand the Biathlon, how it ever got into the Olympics. Especially considering most people don't even know what it is.

I actually have issues with anything that's scored subjectively, not that I don't enjoy them.
And I did watch Survivor, for the first time this season -- that challenge was bananas. I missed the setup -- was there any "native custom" explanation?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Much strength to you, Jen.
Capoeira can be a sport. Ice dancing less so.
Watching Bones. Man, the preaching and repetition of facts really stands out when you have no emotional investment in the characters. And DB dumped a bunch of weight.
Off to phone meeting.
msbelle--that bites. Does it mess with your work plans?

I'm with Jesse and DX. Ice Dancing has to go. And I say this as a huge fan of all forms of figure skating.
ION, anyone watch Survivor?
I will be watching it in about half an hour. I'll get back to you after it airs. I'm liking this season a lot.

Biathalon cracks me up -- so practical!
