    The Olympics are fine but, don't you think televising them almost
    24/7 is a bit much.

    Who's televising them 24/7? I don't know how many times in the past week that I've tried NBC, USA, CNBC, and MSNBC to find no Olympic coverage of ANYTHING. I guess maybe I should see when the programming is on rather than just try random luck.

    Any Googler's out there? Their google logo has been changing daily with different Olympic drawings. Today the two O's are two curling stones.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    Today's google is cute with the little curling stones. I normally watch a Canadian station for Olympic coverage because it's more up to the minute than USA station.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    In ending......

    I hope to god that the Olympics become more 'amateur'.

    Joey Cheek donated 40K of his prize money to charity, for his gold and silver medals.

    It was reported that his donation inspired a Canuck to take 10K out of her personal savings (and american gold was worth 25k, silver 15 and bronze 5)
    and donate it...so far there has been over 400 k donated to that same charity.

    The American hockey pro were ticked because they had to take care of their hotel rooms and travel...that distracted them from playing well!

    Oops, I forgot that those same hockey pros thrashed the Olympic village in Nagano after they lost....


    And after the Tomato win I got tired of seeing the same film clip of him asking how many babes he could get with it....If he used a little imagination he has his medal...


    Poor Bode is gonna be celibate for a while and Poor Linsday will always remembered as the gal who did the trick and lost the gold. Sasha crashed and burned, then Ono made me feel better - He acted like the bronze in the short track final was first, second, third and fourth place.


    I love the Olympics, it's the 'characters' that bore me..

    We are simply lost without the Olympics! I knew regular TV was awful, but that fact has just been majorly emphasized since the Olympics are over. There is NOTHING to watch on TV! Tuesday night there was an awesome Nova on, but that's it since Sunday night. I think I need to take up a hobby or something to get me away from the TV at night...

    ...oh, maybe that's why I'm feeling so crappy lately - Olympics withdrawal.

    In four short years the Olympics take place up here....about an 1 1/2 hour drive from where I am. Start saving your pennies.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
