THe snowboard cross was really fun to watch. I fell asleep during the skating, though

I am Stephanie. Though I guess I did see the best skate by catching Layseck. If only he had done better in the short. I also missed the hideous costumes...and am not googling.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Weird to skim the overnight watch & post on the Olympics.

Biathlon fascinates me because it is such an opposite mix of maximum aerobic exertion -- as anyone who has cross-country skiied can tell you -- and dead calm accuracy.

There probably should be a summer-sport version where you run a 10K with stops for skeet shooting or bowling or whatever. Or maybe high-speed golf, where you have to do the 18 holes in the least amount of time, caddying your own clubs.

It's a shame they don't let me make up sports any more.

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

Seen at the Dunkin Donuts this morning: A heavy set man in his late fifties-early sixties, wearing a grey plaid CPO jacket and Scooby-Doo pajama bottoms.

Looks like Billytea's Bathrobe Day is catching on.

Loved Snowboard Cross, wish they'd stop comparing it to NASCAR.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Marathon with breaks for curling!! Doubly hard, because you'll sweat all over the ice, and make it messy.

Or checkers on board during the two-person kayak race. The winners of the race are gold and silver, with the gold going to the one who wins the checkers game. (It would be a magnetic, waterproof set.)

Bob meets curling - you have to hurl yourself down the track, avoiding the stones the other team are lobbing at your head. I'd watch it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Make it skeleton instead of bob for that hurtling down the track face-first with no sled vibe, and I'd not only watch it but make a movie about it.

How about scuba-archery?

This they should definitely show every Christmas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Don't put a pencil in your penis

Belgrade - A Serbian man needed emergency surgery after sticking a pencil inside his penis to keep it stiff during sex.
