cork it - hmm, so i guess you're seeking advice on if its red or white wine to accompany the feast

The trick is called a decade, basically you orbit the bike while it remains stationary sort of like a tailwhip in reverse. Trust me on one thing that lumpy concrete can be a pain in the posterior...

Either are $100 million/year basketball teams.

i'd like to see it limited to amateurs, but that's ancient school (and not practical).

Why? Because she could hurt herself laughing? Nice of you to be so concerned.

[dirtvert]

close- so i wouldn't give her a black eye (ask your horse to explain it to you).

Why, because he publicly questioned blatant cheating? He wasn't making excuses for the American team. The American team lost the gold because of mistakes. They weren't making excuses.

He was however, pointing out obvious cheating by the Chinese. There is no way some of those girls are 16 years old. He also stated he doesn't care what a competitors age is, but rules are rules and every country following them is being cheated by those that aren't.

I don't see the problem with calling out cheating. The proof is out there too. So you have the Chinese government--the government of the host country--supporting cheating.

A direct quote: “They do good gymnastics and are a good service for the sport,” he said of the Chinese. “They have the ultimate effective training program. That’s why I am more upset that they are cheating. They don’t need cheating. They would be just as good with a lineup of eligible athletes.”

In my opinion, calling out cheating in any form and being aggravated by it is understandable. Cheating is cheating.

One source called it "Age Doping". That's a new one.

Isn't it Ok to laugh at stuff we don't understand?

Isn't it OK to laugh at stuff we do understand but still think it looks lame?

Some great comedians have made the masses laugh by doing parodies of things that looked ridiculous or wierd, even though they may have been serious.

If I think it's funny and you don't think it's funny, it is still funny! I mean unless it's not.

badminton is the original "fast and furious", with uh, er...shuttlecocks...reaching speeds of 200 mph.

"Speeds" are my swimsuit of choice. I have NO shame.

badminton is crazy, it's great that the horse thing is in the olympics, that doesn't mean i want to see it on tv when i could be watching something more entertaining.

[Trailster]

P.S. I'm not fond of horses, they shit on my trails and dont clean up after themselves. And i have to stop riding my bike when a horse approaches me.
