    it is!

    the yelling, the excitement, the brushing

    get yourself a case of beer and sit down and watch some curling

    it's fun as hell

    moreso if you're at a sportsbar on yonge in Toronto and old people are yelling at the projector along with you

    Watch it while sober and then tell me that.

    The Olympics aren't as prestigious now that they're no longer a battlefield for the Cold War.

    question about soccer

    d'you guys reckon it's a bigger deal for a country to win the World Cup or the Olympics?

    I assume you mean win the gold medal for soccer in the Olympics

    Because you can't really win the Olympics as a whole. And pretty clearly the World Cup is a much much bigger deal, especially since the Olympic Soccer teams are restricted to players 23 and under.

    When I was climbing last monday I was reaching up to the next hand hold when I realised the position I was in was crushing my balls, in order not to fall off the wall I had to further crush my nads in order to get to the next handhold.

    The one thing I can't stand about watching the Olympics in Japan is their shitty coverage. They only play events that have a Japanese athlete in it and then they only play those events if the athlete is doing well. In the last summer Olympics since the Japanese athletes were absolute shit they ended up playing non-stop reruns of the 2 or 3 people who actually managed to win a medal.

    I think instead of watching the winter olympics I'll just watch Cool Runnings.

    I will consider it a vastly superior way of spending my time.

    I've watched the Olympics many times before in Canada and I don't recall ever watching 2 weeks of reruns of the same 3 people winning a medal. It was that bad.

    Not here! We get to watch EVERYTHING! It's so we can avoid the British competitors altogether.

    Also, you probably think this because the coverage usually is of the Australian athletes all the time because they really do win everything!

    Well, just finished watching the presentation here at 3 in the morning....

    The IOC actually applauded Obama's speech, and his response to one of the questions. Impressive, since they really aren't supposed to clap for anything at these presentations...

    Okay, back to sleep!

    anyway

    check this out

    national pride survey was done across developed countries, Aussies rank #1, US ranks #11, Japan comes in last

    I would love to know the polling methods and all that though

    There's 33 nations included in the poll, but only 21 shown on the chart.

    The article says that America is in 11th, but then says Japan came in last. What about the other 12 nations?

    Where do they rank?

    You Australians are pretty stupid.

    On the German-Dutch border you can pretty much stumble across the border line drunk and high while balancing a bag of cocaine on your head and raping kittens

    When you fly to Switzerland from any Euro country they ask you pleasant questions while casually glancing at your passport

    Going to the US feels like going through the security checks in the Vatican to see the fucking pope
