Re: Super Duper Early Evening thread

  • So sorry for you loss, Adamar.  I lost my stepmom too, and I know how awful it is.  More than anything I hated seeing my Dad hurt like that.  But I hope you and your family can receive lots of support and love right now!  Prayers for you!

  • Oh my God Adamar, that sucks so bad. :'( Big huge hugs to you and your Dad.
  • I'm really sorry, Adamar. :(

    [QUOTE]Okay, so what is up with cycling in the Olympics? (They just started here.)  The whole starting out slow thing is so weird to me.

    FI and I saw that earlier. I was all "wtf", and then when they started to speed up I got super excited because I thought it was going to be roller derby style. But then FI pointed out they weren't wearing any pads and I felt like a dumbass.
  • Is Olympic cycling the one on the track with the bikes with the funny looking wheels?

  • Yes, it's very strange. I hadn't seen that before tonight.
  • Who was it that was asking about them showing the Men's Gymnast Rings? They're showing it tonight. It's right now if you're in the central time zone.
  • I'm going to read a bit and go to bed.  Thank you guys so much for giving me a place to talk.  I appreciate it more than you know.

  • I don't remember who was asking about the rings.  I may have to turn it on here in an hour or so :).
  • Goodnight, Adamar. Again, lots of hugs, thoughts and prayers your way.

    [QUOTE]I've been bitching about them showing the rings, but I don't think I did it last night.  I'm excited to finally see the rings!  MAN MUSCLES!

    It may have been you. Whoever said it mentioned it a few nights ago. Like, maybe Wednesday or Thursday.
  • Haha.. man muscles.  I love it :).
  • Pffffft, man muscles. I could TOTALLY do what they're doing without a struggle. ;)
  • I keep joking with DH that when I go to bed before him, I do a vault-style landing into the bed, even in my current condition.
  • I would probably trip in the run on the way to the little jumpy-platform.
  • We finished painting our two story foyer! YAY. I know that everyone cares about my paint, but I'm just too excited.

    Damn you all watching the olympics. I'll just watch Netflix over here.
  • I'd fall off something or run into something.  I'm kind of a klutz.
  • Erin - are you getting cable eventually or no?
  • Yeah, I'm sure that they'd be doing all sorts of hilights on me so they can mock me.

    Erin, yay for getting some painting done! :)

    <div>Tomorrow! I usually wouldn't mind too much not having cable for a few days, but I was really hoping to watch more of the olympics. Just kind of crummy timing.</div><div>
    </div><div>ETA: Yahoo had a funny article yesterday on faces that divers make mid-dive. It was pretty hilarious.</div>
  • I saw this thing on FB where they photoshopped divers with their faces all weird and made it look like they were on the toilet. I found it to be a little funny.
  • Haha.. I never see a runner looking happy.  :)

    IMO, this isn't a spoiler, but if you're super obsessive about that, then skip this post. I don't mention the country or the sport.






























    Aw, a guy that won a medal (I'm assuming the gold) is crying during the ceremony. I think that's sweet.
  • I have a strange allergic reaction to participating in sports. This liquid seeps from my pores and I get really hot and flushed...it's crazy. ;)
  • I cry during medals ceremonies... I can only imagine the emotions going through the athletes.

    [QUOTE] I'm really annoyed at NBC's coverage of the Olympics.  If they'd stop with the bullshit background stories and social media reports, they could actually, ya know, show some competitions?
    Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

    Are we sharing a brain?

    WHO CARES HOW MANY TWEETS A CERTAIN OLYMPIAN GOT?!! It's so annoying.
  • I just know there's so much more they could be showing when they do those ridiculous reports.
  • I agree.  Less social commentary pieces and more olympic competition coverage.
  • I just don't understand why the put such a focus on the social media aspect. If I want to know the tweets about Gabby Douglas, then I'll sign-in to my Twitter and look it up.

    And while it's nice to know the backstory, I wish they would do that in the pre-coverage or even post-coverage, but not instead of showing what's actually happening.
  • They did like 3 pieces on the women gymnasts.. wouldn't one suffice?
