Winter Olympics 2014
— Dave in Texas

I'm not really a huge fan of these pageanty extravaganzish insaney Olympic things, particularly Winter Games (curling? really?), but if you're interested here's a place to discuss.

Anyway the many silly woes of Sochi are all over the news. By the time the last oligarch skims his piece of the action there's hardly enough money to build a bathroom and a lobby.

There are some things about it that are interesting though.

They are from New Zealand I am told. I want them to win.

Oh, Bob Costas may have ignored the warnings about water and washed his face with this stuff.

He'll be lucky to keep the eye. I feel for you on that one Bob, eye troubles suck.

20 6 Not watching. Will wait for the sports tomorrow. I was about to sit down and join my family for dinner, when I noticed on the tv that TFG was on talking about some bullshit. I went over to turn it off and my family tried to stop me saying the opening ceremony was about to start. I turned it off saying I can't listen to that asshole. My middle stepson said, "you're not the only one in this house." Whatwhatwhat?!?!? I have him a look daring him to go turn it back on. Turn it back on. Go on. I dare you!

Posted by: EC at February 07, 2014 05:17 PM (doBIb)

21 As a Canuck, I will say the following about curling: A lot of it is mental. Once you understand what's going on, even if you've never curled in your life you can second-guess the players and try to figure out what they should do instead of what they want to do. Plus the recreational curlers in Canuckistan have a cooler of beer alongside the sheet of ice.

40 The early years of curling seemed heavy on the middle-aged moms. I assume as it gets established younger people and actual athletes will take up the sport. Unless there's some advantage in curling to be menopausal that I'm unaware of.

71 Because I'm a nice person, I'll explain curling in a few paragraphs. For the benefit of the Morons, if you want to hear ladies yelling, "Hard, hurry hard! Quick! Yeah!" you want to look for women's curling in your TV listings. There are 10 ends (rounds). If you're tied at the end of 10, you go into sudden-death OT. Each team has 4 players on the ice, and each gets to curl 2 rocks, for a total of 8 per side. The team with the "last rock", aka. the team that has the last shot, has the "hammer". The sheet of ice has two ends, or "houses". Each has a bunch of rings like an archery target: a red 12-foot ring, a white 8-foot-ring, a blue 4-foot ring, a red inner ring, and the white button. The play alternates back and forth between the ends. The goal of the exercise is to get your rocks closer to the button than the other team. The more of your rocks you get closer to the button before the other team's, the more points you get. That's why you want to sometimes smack rocks around, because you want to get the other team's rocks out of the way. That's it in a nutshell, whether you wanted to read it or not.

226 And the propaganda train arrives with Bob Kostas to murder my ancestors and convince everyone to support the commies with free shit followed by firing squads.

227 How can we talk about communism without creaming our pants?

228 70 years of soul crushing misery, lost human potential and the death of millions, forced collectivism, Stalin, KGB, Iron Curtain, Poland, the kulaks, lines for toilet paper.....

229 Not too much about Russian Jews or the Orthodox Church either.

230 So what are they doing with the torch? I remember them taking it up to the ISS a couple months ago, and I watched a spacewalk where they were taking video of the cosmonauts passing it back and forth. I figured they were going to use that in the opening ceremony somehow.

232 The gals from New Zealand are cute! I hope they win, unless they are playing our ladies. Are our gals as cute them? Would love to test the hotel water in Sochi; always wanted a PhD in toxicology and from what I hear that water has enough in it for three PhD, four MS and 6 BS projects.

When did Costas turn idiot? I mean, he's undoubtably always been a lib, but I don't recall him preaching and lecturing us back in the '80's and '90's.

I remember thinking he seemed OK. We managed to get through entire games without lectures. Is he going through male menopause or what?

234 Hell, this is an open thread, and there isn't anything much better to do. Is anyone interested in seeing the best proof I have seen so far that Obama's long form birth certificate is fake? And easily seen to be fake, once you know what you are looking for. Turns out Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley of England is a pretty damn smart fellow. Typewritten characters MUST fall in specific places on the document. Find some that are in half spaces, and they could not have been placed there by a typewriter at one setting. http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/01/obamas_other_big_lie.html

235 Costas made me switch him off last night. He started going on and on about Putin the Peacemaker. What an ass-kissing little weasel! With a bad hairpiece, no less.

NBC has just become utterly useless. Over the last several Olympics, to attract more female viewers, they have increasingly emphasized the personal stories and spent more air time on fluff and background than on covering actual competitions. They aren't really even putting on a sports program anymore.

The coverage certainly isn't good enough to make me sit through an idiot praising a commie to see it.

236 They get points for the Tchaikovsky. That was nice.

237 A more positive take from all this: miserable autocrats have ruled Russia for hundreds of years, but the people of Russia have still created a beautiful culture in spite of it. It's good to remember what we can do even against the dominance of fools in power.

239 I think President Obama should make that Putin guy clean up the water. Putin must hate blacks and stuff and that is why the water is yellow like that.

241 (curling? really?) Yes, CURLING!!! You must not have seen "Men With Brooms".

242 @EC #79 what was that kids game with the ball bearings that was basically a miniature version of curling? Would that be "marbles"?

243 and out of nowhere, this picture reminded me of a porn movie from the 70's - The Opening of Misty Beethoven. Ain't senility swell.

244 Bob Costas thinks Dostoevski is a pooftah fashion designer in NYC and Gogol is a funeral parlor chain on Staten Island. Somebody should alert "Bob of the Swollen Eye" (think Polonium) that Pushkin was an octoroon. Could take up the rest of Bobby's airtime in Sochi showing off his libtard credentials and expertise on the history of Russian literature. But was Pushkin a snowboarder? Who knows?
