I get the colors and the patterns, but the 'distressed' look on the 'denim pants' just made them look dirty, unkempt and like a bunch of slobs.

Scary, considering all the 'action' sports that get in.

I saw a clip of the medal ceremony with that hack Shaun Whiite doing a "guitar solo" during the National Anthem, Nice!

Rock on dude!

Speaking of Medal Ceremonies - FINALLY, tonight, NBC showed 2 where the Gold was not given to an American. They have recognized that there are other countries out there winning medals.

Torah Bright of Australia in the Halfpipe

and

Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway in the Men's Super G

I especially like the Norwegian Anthem. This version has Sissil Kyrkjebø singing. She sang both the Norwegian Anthem and Olympic Hymn back in 1994 at Lillehammer.

I still think those were the best Olympics of all - either summer or winter.

curling is actually a great game. I've always liked it. Always found it entertaining.

A lot of strategy involved. it's great

My daughter just recently got into snowboarding, she said they definetely have their own lingo and way of dressing. The outfits don't look comfortable at all to me but I guess its for the cold and falling but the skiier's have those pretty tight outfits that are much more attractive...am I showing my age?

You are a traditionalist, that's all.
