The longest thread ever

[Fish80]

I'm sure this is a very hard thing to do. How long has it been an Olympic sport? And didn't we have enough synchronism with the swimming?

The post counter in this thread must be broken. Or someone is messing with it. Devildeac now has 9 more posts than me, without even posting. How is this possible?

I would demand a recount...

Since the Opening Ceremony, I have watched at least 5 minutes of coverage of the following sports:

badminton, rowing, team handball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, water polo, field hockey, gymnastics, diving, swimming, and weightlifting (great seeing that Vietnamese guy win a silver, not too many medals for Vietnam I would imagine).

Badminton? The only problem with that as a Olympic sport is that watching it really makes me think I could take some of those women. There must be something great that they are doing but it sure looks easy. It's the only Olympic sport that makes me feel this way. (Beach volleyball on the other hand bores me, I really can't watch much of it.)

Does this make it 10 now?

Water polo was great.

Off to Kentucky!!

Have a safe trip!

And while you may think you can compete in Badminton, to play at that level is much more difficult than you might think...

Agree, Olympic badminton is very hard, the birdie is fast. Is it a birdie or a shuttlecock?

I just noticed this, the spell checker wants to change YmoBeThere to Motherer.

Bon voyage!

I loved the 4x100 men's freestyle, especially with that French dude shooting off his mouth.

Believe me, I know that I'm not good enough, it is the modern art of sports though, watching it makes me think 'I could do that!'

Who posted that quote? I think it was here.

Hey, I just passed 900 posts! I think that actually belongs in the 'Whatever' thread but I'm so far behind in reading that one. One of these days, I'll catch up.

Danger Will Robinson, danger! The LTE almost slipped to page 2.

I just picked something weird looking and funky smelling out of my belly button. *Passes to EarlJam for perusal*

TMI, way too much...

I did that a few years ago; a month later I had umbillical hernia surgery.

Ymo: TMI?

TMI? I was wondering the same but was too to ask as I am sure the answer will be simple and obvious when revealed to us.

Without giving away what's going on, the US men's gymnastics team on the high bar is absolutely SICK. The Chinese men on the rings are incredible. Maybe not worthy of its own thread, so I put it here in the LTE... why not?

It has been fun to watch. I wish I understood the scoring better. They keep showing the LIVE in the upper right corner of the screen. Is this really live? Since it is currently 8 or 9 in the morning there, I don't think it is. Don't they have the technology to remove that logo when re-airing the event?

Agreed - the high bar was amazing for the Americans.

I see in the Top Grossing Movies thread, that I am way behind the summer movie curve; I've only seen 1 (Iron Man) of the top 5! Is anyone else similarly situated?

It's not that I don't want to see them, it's just when summer weekend nights roll around, I can usually think of better places to be than a dark movie theater.
