'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'd rather watch the subjective stuff (skating, ski jumping, diving, whatev) -- races of whatever format are only so interesting.
Jesse is me. I like the creative element of the more subjective sports. Races all become about tenths and hundreds of seconds and you can't see them.
Does it mess with your work plans?
A little. I need to be setting up by noon and will now be arriving at 9:30ish. That doesn't leave a lot of time for transport from airport to conference. And with a morning arrival, we probably will not have rooms to put our bags in or to clean up. ION, MY OWN BED TONIGHT.
Absolutely. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to add Formula 1 as an Olympic sport.
Sighhhh.... love the vroom vroom
t snaps out of reverie
If you can ride horses you should be able to ride cars too.
I fully acknowledge that I'd rather watch the subjective stuff (skating, ski jumping, diving
I think the difference between the skating events, and things like diving and ski jumping, is that although the latter are judged, they're judged for good form rather than artistic merit.
losing baseball is no loss, but softball has no World Series level campionship. At least, that's what Frank DeFord said on NPR this morning.

Well, OK. At least skating has both.
Johnny Weir has on SO much make-up. good lord.
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!
That challenge was crazy! Fun. And the team dynamics aren't playing out in totally predictable ways, which is very cool.
I heard someone -- Scott Hamilton? -- say "He's here, he's Weir...." He did not say "Get used to it."
good form rather than artistic merit
Yeah. My daughter kept asking what the commentators were talking about with the ski jumpers: how straight the back was, the positioning of the skis, etc. Unless you're familiar with the sport, it can be pretty incomprehensible to the novice watcher.
