Re: Olympic 2008
Maybe you could get a map of the world somewhere, and use it to show your daughter where the different countries are?

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Re: Olympic 2008
What in the deepest levels of hell was she on about?
Seriously, I couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying. Something about South Africa, and the US education system helping "the Iraq". What the f*ck?
Oh, and there was something about not having maps, too, but that bit got lost in the meandering river of senselessness she was putting forth.

So much for shattering the stereotype of air-headed blondes.

Re: Olympic 2008
Her excuse was that the question caught her off guard. I guess it's not exactly the type of question you expect in that type of competition, and she tried to modify one of her pre-thought out answers to fit it.Rochey wrote:What in the deepest levels of hell was she on about?![]()

Re: Olympic 2008
I've been wondering if they should try mixing up some of the sports for the modern era. I mean in the winter Olympics they've added stuff like snowboarding.
However they've managed to make guns boring. I mean they could at least throw in some moving target or something.
Or Olympic paintball!

Re: Olympic 2008
If you want a good gun competition, look up steel match, or IPSC. Here's a clip of my friend's gal at one of the national competitions; it's cool, but I wish the camera angle had a better view of the targets.sunnyside wrote:I've been wondering if they should try mixing up some of the sports for the modern era.

Re: Olympic 2008
Better.
You know I guess I can't explain why some of the Olympic sports are and aren't popular
I mean the Olympic martial arts don't get much screen time. None of them.
On the other hand the running races don't seem so interesting at all to me but they tend to get solid play. I mean they're just sprinting forward.
Of course I get why the traditional sports people pay money to see are popular. As well as the more exhibition type events like gymnastics.

Re: Olympic 2008
Olympic Paintballing would rock.
SAS vs Delta Force /drool
Also they need American Football as an olympic sport.
