Another Olympics Thread

I have to admit, I couldn't possibly care less than I do about the olympics, winter, summer, doesn't matter, just doesn't interest me.

Who's with me?

At least not 25 people, although I imagine that number will increase

I wish I could watch more of it, but I won't die if I don't see one piece of competition.

I, too, couldn't care less about the Olympics, or most sports, for that matter. I'll watch soccer, but that's it.

You have your stance.. that's cool...

why does it matter.. "who's with you" ?...

yawn.... don't be a martyr.... the games are on.... whoop de doo... it's ubiquitous...

I'm watching friday night football on one screen... with the once in every 4 years Olly's on the big screen....

I'll get over it... ;)..

a few weeks ago.. when it had been wet for a while... a mate turns up telling me he had to stop on the road nearby and help a turtle off the road....

I felt all warm and fuzzy... I'd never seen a turtle on the road around here.... coooooool....;)

I look out my front window every day at Mt Coolum.. which looks like a big turtle...

I have two totems.. the shark and the turtle.... I live on a range that looks like a shark's back with fin from a distance.. and I gaze across at the turtle....

my friends in the surf, too.... ;)

Turtles come up for a breath next to me in the surf and scare the living 5h!t out of me. Bastards!

I want to watch more of it but NBC is doing an awful job of broadcasting the games.

A mate of mine got dragged under water by a green turtle at Granite bay once...

it's flipper caught his leg rope and swam away and down dragging him under in a whirlpool...... ahhh!!!.. the creature from the black lagoon...

he was screaming between breaths..... we didn't know what was going on... it was pretty funny though....
he had to undo his ankle strap to let it free.. and surface himself...

glad it wasn't the man in the grey suit though....

C'mon, Bones. You know you care. You cared enough to start this thread, right?

I'm off to women's beach volleyball tomorrow. Seriously, we applied for tickets to 15 sports and that's all we got. Life sucks.
