Interesting re the recent badminton scandal in the Olympics. During the rings competition in gymnastics tonight, they were just idly talking about one of the competitors ( the gold medal winner ) having done a downgraded routine in the semis because the top ranked finisher goes first in the finals which is considered a disadvantage. It's not that different, though at least he didn't ham it up the way the badminton teams apparently did.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm going to give it to him.
You are stronger than I would be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Has this been posted here? [link] I skimmed through the whole hotdog portion of the day so I may have missed something.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Doesn't sports just look like being excited about people trying really hard to excel at something? Does it have to be "gotten" any more than that?

That's why I don't get the disconnect. Sports is just narrative. Mostly guy-narrative. It's a big soap opera. It's passion plays and morality stories.
You get to know the characters and they play out their roles, or fail or succeed. And sports (like life) can be more outrageous and less likely than fiction.
The Red Sox 2004 World Series run was the most overwritten, anvilicious, symbol-laden story ever. Curt Schilling's Red Fucking Sock! C'mon!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's pretty brilliant, aurelia. It's true too. Gave me a pang to think--can you really not buy the original version of the films anymore?

I don't think so, Burrell. I shall cling to my VHS sets. One set is the original and the other is the digitally re-mastered THX. Although!... My DVDs are each 2 disc sets with the 2nd disc being the original theatrical release. I don't know if those are still available.

You can't get the originals in an unedited form any longer. I cling to the copy I have in widescreen on laserdisc.
