The Olympics

[Jaybird]

Anybody give a shit?

I did like how they included some Verdi and had some traditional stuff (like the guys decked out in 1800s uniforms raising the flag) in the opening ceremonies. I was also waiting for the Formula 1 car to skid off the platform wiping out the entire Israeli Team. But of course they had to add in a bunch of faggot shit like the guy with the mohawk and vein/artery suit prancing around aimlessly. I also like seeing the different countries (and all the hot chicks) getting introduced. Thailand winter Olympic team, what the fuck?

As a side, I used to know this musician Jimmy that played in a piano bar and was a huge alcoholic. Add to that, he was a chronic liar that always wore jackets that "Mick Jagger gave him." Anyhow, a few years ago, Houston was competing for the Olympics that went to Beijing. Jimmy got all drunk and told us this story of how he met the guys who were going to organize the opening ceremonies. He went through in complete detail step-by-step what would happen and it would all lead to the climax of him, Jimmy the Drunk, playing piano atop this huge column/platform and at the end of his song, he would flick his cigarette into a big bowl thing, thus igniting the Olympic Flame. Now, that woulda been awesome.

Never in my life have I ever given the remotest shit about the Olympics. Does that makes me an uncultured barbarian? Okay, so I'm an uncultured barbarian.

I haven't cared since Seoul in '88 'cause that was the last time the Olympics actually meant anything. The West versus the Soviet Bloc, Freedom versus Communism. Plus, I was 7 years old.
Nowadays, who gives a shit? Maybe, the Chinks'll bring some of the rivalry back when they get it.
There are some events I do like to watch though, women's gymnastics being the main one. Baseball and swimming too. Track? Who the hell wants to see the UK put a nigger against our latest ex-con turned performance-enhancing drug test failure? I did, however, take an interest in the Athens 2004 basketball tourney. Talk about racial solidarity. Every white guy in America called in to at least one sports talk show to express their lack of support for "our" team of hood rats.
As for winter, I like the luge, bobsled, and hockey. Curling is always a crowd pleaser. Figure skating is, of course, completely ghey and I also hate how they tried to boost interest by adding "extreme" sports like snowboarding.

Huh? Winter olympics?

That sums it up.

/me cheers for Ohno

[The Retard]

I hope that Jewish figure skater breaks her neck. :D

Britain won a gold medal at the last one which made the winter olympics popular here for about, eh, 2 minutes.

most of it is too boring for me, and this is from someone who watches snooker on tv.

Ireland had a guy you did OK in the winter Olympics. Then it turned out he was English, but competed for Ireland. Oh well.

Anyone with any interest in the Para-Olympics? What about the Special-Olympics? or the Youth Olympics? There's even a Gay-Games now.

i'd have an interest to make fun of those but otherwise, no.

What is the reaction of your average European when, say, watching the World Cup and 3/4 of the French Team are jigs and ragheads?

[brigadier Biggles]

well half the England team has been black for the past decade or so, and nobody seems to care much.
