Or triple jump...
On the grin, I'm sure the British citizens who wind up paying the bill for the Olympics will remember it as they end up with even deeper austerity measures. Of course the International Olympic Committee members, the politicians and their cronies who bought up the land around the Olympic sites and got the various service contracts for the Olympics may long remember the smile on their own faces as they count their piles of cash...
Wanna know what's silly? Ill say it again.
No baseball or softball.
Tabletennis, badminton, trampoline....but somehow baseball isn't considered an Olympic sport?
Silly.

In other real Olympic news, in spite of their professional status and being clear favoirtes for the gold in these Olympics, the U.S. basketball team got a real scare from Lithuania, who gave them all they could in a thrilling game that the USA won, 99-94[/b]. Well done, Lithuania.....
Serena Williams crushed Maria Sharapova for the gold in women's singles tennis. Of course, Ms. Williams and Ms. Sharpova are professionals at something that isn't even a sport, it's just a game for children started by pampered, inbred Brits ( :lfao: insult the great American pastime of baseball again, Mark, and I'll have to come over there and thrash you! :lfao: ) though, that is pretty much how I feel about tennis, I just know that I'd like Serena and her sister-or Serena and Ms. Sharapova, or some combination thereof, to make a Jeff sandwich......
.....of course, that sandwich probably wouldn't have enough meat to truly satisfy anyone....:lfao:
And this inspiring guy made his Olympic debut:

Win or lose, I haven't the words-and there's nothing silly about that......
