But I LIKE Ice Dancing!
As long as we're going to have subjective scoring in the Olympics (and I can certainly see the arguments agaisnt it) we should keep the Ice Dancing.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ooo, msbelle, that sucks. I was all gonna post as to how you must be in the air by now, but no.
Burrell, you remind me of one of the guys on Miami Ink (TV show about tattoo shop) who had a baby, and from then on, whenever he wasn't at work and anyone asked what he was doing, the answer was always "holding baby!"
hrmmm.
Well, I'm not holding the baby right now as it happens. He's crawling around on the floor, refusing to be tired anymore now that the painkillers have kicked in.
But it's dancing! Dancing isn't a sport!
I realize the Extreme DanceSport Ballroom people would disagree.
Where's Alibelle, dang it? I wants to see me a kerfuffle!

If ice dancing goes then so should equestrians!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I still don't understand the Biathlon
Biathalon is doing something extremely aerobic, while mixing in intervals of great precision where you want your breath and heartbeat to be as calm as possible. It's very hard to shoot accurately while your heart is pumping a mile a minute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I fully acknowledge that I'd rather watch the subjective stuff (skating, ski jumping, diving, whatev) -- races of whatever format are only so interesting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Dancing is athletic. Haven't Dancing with the Stars and Skating with Celebreties taught you anything!?
Yeah, they've taught me that I'm happier watching Animal Planet.
Biathalon cracks me up -- so practical!
"It's skeet shooting, you idiot, not ski-- Oh, what's the use?"

Absolutely. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to add Formula 1 as an Olympic sport.
I also bitter that baseball and softball got dropped for 2012.

Hee! I was actually thinking more Finnish Army of Yore.

I also appreciate the argument that there shouldn't be team sports. Well, nothing bigger team-wise than a bobsled.
