How many times are we going to mention zimbabwe? It got old after the first time.

And until the last Olympics, who was getting dominated in hockey? Canada was!

Just because you win one gold medal in the past 16 years that doesn't make you a powerhouse. The United States aren't a powerhouse in gymnastics now that the men's team finally medaled in the Olympics, but with your logic, they are.

Quiet your pretty little face or else you might sound dumb. :mrgreen:

But even if they do poorly, Israel is there, and thats what counts. To be accepted as a nation of the free world.

kyle shewfelt finished fourth today for vault. surprising though, cause it looked like the other guys had fallen or stepped out more than he did. but i'm no judge, i wouldn't know how that works out technically. but i do believe we got that silver in women's wrestling.

Switzerland is landlocked. The US should be ashamed :P
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I havn't seen the Olympics at all yet :uhh:

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever
