    Default Summer Olympics XXIX

    Normally I wouldn't give much of a rat's ass. But this time...

    Its in China?

    So, a communist state is hosting the olympics for the first time (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't keep up with olympic history).

    Plus there are rumors there is going to be an al quaeda attack or whatnot.

    Its about 10 minutes from start.

    Who's going to watch it?

    They were once at Germany at a not so great time.
    Also in Moscow with the Soviet Union friends.

    So China isn't that bad, also no I'm not going to watch it.

    I'm watching Boxing now. American dude pwned an Argentinian.

    Korea is the home of TKD, I wouldn't be surprised if they won.

    Yeah, London's going to have hell trying to beat that, the Chinese have been preparing for the Olympics for a good 5 years, all of those people were trained to look good. Did you see the girls holding the signs for the countries? They looked like their faces were plastered to smile permanately, 'twas cool though. The cheerleaders had to dance for 3-4 hours straight, and I sorta felt sorry for them.

    I've only seen the opening ceremonies. But damn were they spectacular. Those moving blocks, I had a feeling people were inside of them. You outdid yourself China. Damn.
    I think the blocks you're talking about are the drums
