Olympics

Bring back Matt Lauer. Wanna hear more stories of him chasing Korean tail!

Mini Shaun White that son of a hick is

 

is that his dad? long grey beard and cowboy hat dude?

 

I'll watch any of the snowboarding events although slope style and snowboarder cross are my favorites. Snowboarder cross actually looks pretty dam fun. I think skiing itself is horrific but alpine skiing has to be the most watchable and exciting Olympic event. The bobsledding and luge are ok too. I feel like I'm watching a surf contest though instead of the Olympics with all these weather issues and delays.

 

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

 

Bwaaahahahaaaa

 

You’re on a roll with the quotes! Hahaha

 

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.

Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.

You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.

At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

 

Watched the 30K (about 19 miles) x-country skiathalon yesterday. Norway swept it.
Near the start of the race, the eventual winner was knocked down by a Russian skier behind him, fell with several others, smacked his head, and broke a pole (which was replaced). He caught up and passed the 67 other skiers to take the lead and win by a large margin. Partway through the race, they all switched to shorter skis and longer poles. I'd never watched this event before. Looked grueling.

 

Focking awesome man. Prolly my favorite scene from any movie ever.

 

Yup, #metoo.

Right up there with the "cocks, pussies and assholes" speech from Team America.

 

Watched a 17 yo American girl (Chloe something) win the snowboard halfpipe last night. She had already sealed the victory before her last run, but instead of just taking an easy victory run to the bottom she went all out and bested her own winning score. I’m not a huge Olympics fan but that was pretty awesome to see.

 

Yeah I watched the women's halfpipe too last night. Did anyone see the austrailian girl fall during her run? She basically smacked her face on the bottom of the pipe - brutal wipeout. When she got up, it looked like she knocked several of her front teeth out. My wife saw it too. Camera quickly switched to show something else.

 

She knocked her front teeth out??
Wow...her boyfriend is gonna get some great BJs!!!!

 

Lol!! You're sick, dude....

 

anyone see the halfpipe girl that was doing the "namaste" thing before she dropped in then blew it on the first hit on all three runs?

She was making me so mad. 17 years old at the olympics and she was so focused on her pre-run BS that she completely blew her chance. What a joke.

 

If it was a guy they would have shown every last drop of blood and tooth fragment. That's fooking sexist yo!
