Sorry. I didn't think it was much of a spoiler, if you don't know where she stands exactly.

I've been wondering about the speed skaters. With each pair racing there is at least one shot of them skating over there flags under the ice. So, are all the flags under the ice and they just shoot the spot where the skating pair is over their's or are the flags really there? Is it some kind of trick thing NBC is doing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, I'll email her, which I haven't actually done yet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's a graphics overlay, like the yellow scrimmage line in a football game, only more elaborate.

Ah, thank you, Kathy. It's been bugging me. Like the blue lines in the snow in the downhill events. I just don't remember seeing them before.

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

quester, no worries -- I think I'm just gunshy

the flags: I think we only see them on the screen. its like the line of scrimage on footbal fields (or whatever that line is they project -- and however you spell it)

I love when Italians win and start kissin. not just a peck on the cheek either. hugging and smooching and rubbing each others hair. its like porn for chicks. Even Shani joined in. Good times, good times.

I think the blue lines are really there -- they sometimes look smudged. I don't remember them before either.

Yeah, move ON. I'm wondering less and less why Shani doesn't feel like its a "team."
