    Does anybody else know the Olympics are on?

    How is there not a thread already about the Olympics?

    Anybody watching it?

    Seems our US team isn't doing as good as they should have been. We're never that strong in the Winter Olympics as we are in the Summer ones, but it just seems like we're not doing as expected.

    Is Britain even participating? I don't think i've seen one competition with them in it?

    And why are these figure skating programs so freakin long!?!?! Put on skiing, hockey, luge...anything but figure skating....even curling would be better...jesus!

    It's late night stuff for me, as there is almost nothing else on in this burg.

    Watched it every day, so far.

    Been watching it... some snowboarding some downhill, a little luge....

    The skiing was great last night when those austrians were already celebrating their gold when that French dude came down for the gold.

    lefteye, it doesn't look like we are doing too shabily to me.
    NOC G S B
    1 USA 4 2 0
    2 RUS 3 3 1
    3 GER 2 0 1
    4 NOR 1 3

    we are ranked #1 so far...

    Whoa nellie. There's a crotch there. Just because it's small, doesn't mean it's not there. If they are "G" enough fo her to wear in competition, they are "G" enough for FK!

    She is just very flexible!

    They may have a crotch in them, but has he pulled it to the side?

    I'll have to thank him for that next time I see him.

    I started one a while back but it didnt seem to catch on.

    I was getting the same impression that we (US) choked in a couple events. Ohno in the short track ice-skating for example. But, sounds like we're still doing well over-all.

    Anyway, I think the Korean was going to beat Ohno if he made it to the final anyway.

    Yeah but does anyone else think that Shawn White should have just been given the medal and just had the comp for who can be second to him
