I saw
But... but... no skiing in Rio?
No hockey or bobsledding?
Dang it all!!
Give me a frickin’ break.
Exactly what I said. Except I didn't say "frickin".
I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Pretty disturbing to me, although the NBC libs are loving it, of course.
Why is Tawain calling themselves Chinese Taipei?
And what the heck? The girl carrying the Sweden flag looked like she had one on her.
Tuned in just in time to see a commercial where a bunch of immigrants, who apparently couldn’t be bothered to learn English, were singing “America” in their languages of choice.
All right then. Back to the Great British Baking Show.
Because the IOC caved to the ChiComs.
Tonight has just been one long PC nightmare.
Yes, 70s and 80s in the winter in Rio is normal, I guess. And the Zika mosquitoes don't die. That's one thing I kind of like about winter here (Connecticut). Once we get that first frost (usually around Thanksgiving), most of the damn bugs drop dead.
“I was so looking forward to seeing Rio’s trademark Samba schools in full feathered regalia”
At first I read that as “full leathered” and wondered what kind of stuff you were into.
Disgraceful. The announcers indicated that Tawain chose to refer to themselves as Chinese Taipei.
Yeah, they chose it because they didn’t want to be kicked out, it’s been that way for forty years.
“Chinese Taipei” what a bunch PC garbage. Taiwan cannot compete under their name because of political pressure from the Chicoms.
Sadly, it gets worse every time the Olympics roll around. Remember four years ago, we were "treated" to a celebration of the British National Health Service (NHS) in the Opening Ceremony? (I am NOT kidding)
Funny, they forgot to portray the millions of British citizens who are on "wait lists" for 6-12 months for surgeries that are available within DAYS here in the US. Must have been an oversight...
Disgusting...
ROTFL!! I guess I should have worded that sentence better. I meant the Carnival dancers who wear those amazing costumes with all the feathers. ;-)
Yes, I referenced that earlier.
Oh geez, the Refugee Team. Yes let’s guilt more people into taking in these wonderful people.
Well at least all of the Olympic rings opened up.
Were they selling mirror-finish cheese graters there at the end?
