| |  Is Anybody Watching The Olympics?
When I am home, I'll watch some. But I am not interested in Communist Chinese Robot Ice Skaters or Cross Country Skiing. I saw a good Downhill Race last night, though. I guess the Jamacians haven't been Bobsledding lately, but they were funny. I almost feel like I am missing something in these Olympics...like interest. | | |  | Thread Killer | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Minnesota

It has been about 16 years since the olympics provided any interest for me.....winter or summer.

I know I'm not interested in these Olympic games.

When I was a kid, I used to like the ice skating so I could watch the ice skaters fall on their asses. I liked Olga Korbut in the Summer Olympics. She lives in Scottsdale, AZ now and teaches gymnastics to kids. I am trying to build an interest in these games...maybe I just need to see more commie robots fall on their butts. | | |  | Super Moderator | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: California Age: 44

Not watching here. I found the broadcasts of the games too lengthy anymore. They just talked and talked and showed little sports. When they did it was after the sport had run. Add the fact of all the sit down interviews and it was just too much. | | |  | Super Moderator | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Houston, TX Age: 28

Only things that interest me with the winter games are respectively hockey, snowboarding, and the speed skating. Everything else is like just sitting and watching paint dry!

I don't watch because lack of interest. I did catch several minutes of the opening ceremony. Look about as good as those black dudes that tour. What do they call it the stomp, smash or something like that. Jump around, stomp your feet and smash garbage can lids together.
