Because I know at least SOME of us watch it.
...NICE GOING CANADA. YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A FUCKING TORCH TO LIGHT PROPERLY.
Hey, Montreal made them go bankrupt. I can't wait to see what Vancouver does.
Also, I don't have a TV of my own, and my roommate just shut his off on me. So uh...Someone keep me posted about the outdoor cauldron, since apparently this indoor once is a no-no or something something stfu Bob Costas.

This is upsetting. I watched the crash earlier today, but I didn't know that he died.
The whales were awesome.
Hated peter pan kid.
Hated cloggers.
Gretzky just radiates awesome.
The cauldron actually looks really cool assembled/when the floor doesn't break.
Kelly clark is still scary.
Outdoor cauldron worked fine. footage of citizens of vancouver running with the car touting gretzky to the site. lit one arm of cauldron, flame ran up, lit four small cauldrons at the same time, then the big one. you'll see it often this week im sure.
gretzky just brought me mcdonalds
such a hero
ima send him a vampire request

Fuck! There's no way anyone should go that fast on a luge.
I noticed that the Japanese athletes were so damn polite they carried a Japanese flag and a Canadian Flag.
Oh, and lots of hot girl snowboarder/skier/skater flag-bearers.
Condolences to the Georgians.

They clock that fast A LOT. The sport is fucking sick, dude. That's why I love it. I was shocked to see they brought back skeleton for 2006, it was banned for a long ass time.

that's what makes it Sooooooo WICKEDAWESOME. yeah. I'm hot for that skellington.
Looks like its repeats for us none tv folk. I can't break into the stream, and I've been trying for hours. cocktoast.
Balls!
I'll find it...There has to be stream somewhere.
Should've been Patrick Roy instead of Gretzky, IMO.
I can't even get Silverlight to work. WTF?
BAHAHA I LOVE SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING
WIIIIPEOUT
Apolo Ohno and the other American guy should really give those two Koreans thank you cards.
I don't know why, but I don't like Ohno. I was kinda hoping he'd lose. Oh well.
i just like people crashing. and i wanted the kid to get a medal.
We've been watching the Olympics on and off all weekend, and we agreed the beginning was kinda laem. The flying Peter Pan dude was just so ridonkulous, but hey, I'm not a producer of quality live entertainments or nothing, so what do I know? My husband just sat there saying it was the "anti-Chinese" opening (as in: not a million fucking people all at once, but a buncha solo acts), and kept repeating he liked the Chinese one better. *shrug*
I like the Olympics till about day 4, when I am extremely over it by then. They seem to drag on somewhat.
I just missed it yesterday, but I don't typically like short program anyway. Long program makes the figure skaters work for it, damnit. Also, I really think ice dancing is retarded, it's for figure pairs that are too big of pussies to do the acrobatics.
Does anyone remember that Canadian figure pair from a while ago? I don't think they've competed since Nagano, but they were batshit insane and he was covered in tattoos from all the Olympics they skated in. They always did really dangerous shit...yeah...you don't see that much anymore. :argh!:
I caught the Chinese couple on just before I went to bed--stayed to watch it b/c t hey apparently "broke records" (am I the only one who reads spoilers before watching the events? :lulz:) with their routine. It was a'ight. I was rooting for them mostly because they are older than your average skater, lmao.
I haven't heard of any of the female skaters this year, but I'm so sick of Johnny Weir I could strangle him.
:lulz: OMG I know exactly what you are talking about.
Also, I'm about to watch this shit with the volume off, because the announcers having a jizz-attack each time something happens is so fucking annoying it's killing what little joy I have in watching teh games.
Announcer: ZOMG LOOK AT WHAT S/HE DID! AMAZING AND FANTASTIC, THAT'S NEVER BEEN SEEN AT THE GAMES BEFORE!
I almost feel bad for Bob Costas, because he knows for 2 weeks of his life every 2 years he has to say a lot of the same cliche shit over and over and over again, losing sleep in some corner of the world. And on top of it, every Summer Olympics year is also a Presidential election year, so by the time November is over he's probably on Ambien and anti-depressants.
He looks like a muppet.

Do you know, they had to make a public apology for that? I find that rank. Guess some assholes complained about them drinking and smoking on the "Olympic ice" for "over half an hour." /nbc coverage
I say: more power to 'em!

I'm with you, they fucking deserve it! people need to chill out.
Yeah, it would've been quaint and cutesy if it had been Lyndsey Vonn. Of course, it's hard to drink beer when you keep crashing into shit. Wait, maybe that's why she kept crashing into shit.
And holy shit did that Canadian team wipe the floor with the rest of the field. Maybe they aren't owning the podium, but fuck, they are owning the rink.
Hey, how about that hockey game Sunday, eh? My Canadian heritage had me secretly cheering for the Canadians but holy fuck is that US goalie Miller good. Dude was standing on his head stopping shots.

Agreed.
Good for them, they pwn'ed the Olympics.
Also; that was likely calm compared to the after - party.
