Fucking Awesome Hooker!

Can't believe the Aus athletics team has won four medals! I thought they'd win zero

 

[stazi]

holy fuck!!! wow

 

[Silver Persian]

whoa what an amazing run by bolt again. 3rd world record

I thought asafa powell looked amazing in the final leg. It's a shame he's a choker - he could have an amzing rivalry with Bolt otherwise.

 

[stazi]

wow what an amazing basketball match. it started out so badly with the US pwning, whilst this quarter argentina has dominated.

Ahhh, but so is calling us assholes in a later post.

We're just normal people - really. You should really read David Rosenhan's article: Being Sane in Insane Places.

Why is it so acceptable, then, if you were all 'booing' at the Chinese? Would you have made a corresponding post?

Olympics brings us almost nothing good but further international demarcation and racism.

I don't get it.

Care to clarify?

Please tell me Argentina won, fell asleep 3rd quarter when the margin was down to 6

 

[Zrap]

Doesnt even look like we will be in the top 5

 

[Silver Persian]

Apparently Stephanie Rice is going out with Michael Phelps now


Eamon is way cuter

 

[Zrap]

It's all for celebrity status, the best women swimmer going out with the best male swimmer. STATUS SOARING SKY HIGH

I wish! USA won and the margin was 20 i think

 

[sf_diegoxrock]

Rice to carry the flag

Thought it would've been Hackett!

Go the Aussie pole vaulter. He did well!

 

[Hypermelon]

Woo! go you good thing! Gold for
Ken Wallace in K1 500m finals

 

[stazi]

woohoo damn that race was close

 

[stazi]

wtf at the broadcast. they showed the pole vault about four times in two hours...

 

[Hypermelon]

and the relays.
and you can count on them showing the kayaking too. . . not that there's anything wrong with that. so far

 

[stazi]

they haven't showed the relay four times in two hours. They've showed it twice in six.

 

[Silver Persian]

comeon Jared Banniester in the javelin.

He's got the farthest throw in the world this year - although apart from that one great throw he's been crap

hope Steffenson gets chucked out of the 400m relay team for Wroe. He is such a Kant.

And go womens basketball team

 

[stazi]

lol why is steffenson a kant?

jared is 5th favourite to win i think
