D.C. put a bid in the the 2024 summer Olympics and what a nightmare that would be. They lost out as of last August, but they're asking the IOC to "reconsider". Bastards.
Wow, considering traffic there now, if you leave your place today, you'd get there in time for the opening ceremonies!
Am I a grumpy old man (rhetorical question) if I can look back nostalgically at the 1980 winter olympics? I think the last time I watched were the summer games in 1996…
If something stupid happens and they do snag 2024, I'm starting a Moon Colony.
All the corruption and bullshit has taken most of the luster off the Games for me, though I do still love the Winter ones. The London Olympics were great fun to watch though, especially those bizarre ceremonies.
Semi OT: one of my proudest possessions for years was an "Expose yourself to lake Placid" with a cartoon Andy Capp as a trenchcoat flasher.
The Athlete's Favela: This is one hurdle he can't overcome.
A new event:
|Flip flop and fly|
| Chunder and Plunder |
Also Too, the | Dead Version. |
OK, this is just sad now.
PS: Los Angeles, can we forget about that bid for the Olympics? Seriously, as much as I'd love to attend some of the events, this isn't worth is FFS.
Idea for new event: Run, don't walk, from hosting the Olympics?
