You're better off. Although if you're interested in women's gymnastics, you'll miss the very end, since it was only scheduled to go to 12.

I am so lame. Chat defeats me. I should go read some docs or something.

I was highly annoyed with last night's men's gymnastics commentary, when the man was so offended that the Spanish team was laughing and smiling and taking pictures of each other after having had poor performances. I guess they should have been more self-castigating instead of enjoying the Olympic experience.
Hey, the Chinese girls are grinning!

Thanks Jesse, I just switched over to live tv and set it to record more.
I have confirmed, I am watching this morning's stuff, the 10am stuff- and I am spoiled for some of this.

Tim and Elfie are ridiculous. they were mentioning the other night how the romanian coach wasn't like the "old school" romanian coaches in that he gave a girl who didn't do all that well a hug and a kiss when she came down. who the eff cares?!

I was noticing that Marta Karolyi had big hugs for the gymnasts who did well, and kind of patted on the shoulder ones who didn't.
I also found this somewhat creepy video of Nadia Comaneci visiting Bela Karolyi's training center. [link] The whole "Just like the old days, Bela can make me do anything he wants me to do" thing is just disturbing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And awesome too.
Would the bat be able to identify the calls, or would it merely respond to any froglike sound? We could hardly contain our excitement when the bat immediately flew to the speaker playing the call of the edible frog. It landed and tried to pry its way through the screen covering of our speaker box.
I have decided I am pro-bat.
Plus they had trained bats! Sorry frogs, the mammals win this time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So, if I was going to write a bat pirate filk (Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest), would this sound ridic?
