-- Posted by VirtusInternus at 4:56 pm on Aug. 23, 2008 Good and bad...I know some people on LW couldn't care less about it, which is cool, but naive as it is a global event. For me highs: Phelps caning ass, Jamaica on the track, the opening ceremony, some of my countries performances (New Zealand). Interesting: the weightlifter who dropped the bar, drug accusations, US dropping the batons. Whine: Kind of boring this time around, some sports shouldn't be in there, it was overhyped and took to long in the build-up. Next Olympic games I won't watch as much as this time. -- Posted by HXC at 4:57 pm on Aug. 23, 2008 Shawn Johnson. -- Posted by Baron Samedi at 4:57 pm on Aug. 23, 2008 Men in tiny spandex underpants. -- Posted by ButtSechs69 at 4:57 pm on Aug. 23, 2008 I will remember that all the Chinese people really did look alike.
