I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already. So here is a nice place to discuss your thoughts on any Olympic events. (yes I know the Olympics are a week old already)
Just a couple of issues with them for me. I'm very over saturated with Olympic coverage. Having had my own city host them 4 years ago. WE are constantly bombarded with history... not to mention that one of our major tv networks is showing nothing but for the next 21 days.
Other than that. Well done to all the Aussies for represnting ME (and any other Australians here) so well. YOU DO US PROUD!!!
PS
When I was 9, I beat Ian Thorpe in the U9 50m breast stroke. Ok so I cant compare to now... but hey at least I can say I beat him ;P
THE OLYMPICS!!!!

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Holland isn't doing too badly. A couple more golds would be nice. Maybe tomorrow in the swimming (De Bruijn). The hockey teams are playing well, so we still have chances (as well as in rowing, equestrian and track cycling).

Woohoo we have at least 2 golds now 
(sailing and cycling)
(sailing and cycling)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.

Canada really seems to suck at the summer olympics. Winter olympics we pwn though....sometimes.
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
