[QUOTE=tatertots;156126]Sadly I have a lame phone so I can really only do twitter updates and no internet stuff. :( But I'll definitely be taking photos and get my stalker on![/QUOTE] Lots of free wireless in Vancouver because of the Olympics. Bring your laptop. You will do us proud, I know it, hehe. We want the photo of you and Bode with the gold metals around his neck. :D
Apollo!
[QUOTE=Bacchus;156129]Apollo![/QUOTE] He is really exciting to watch. You just expect him to pull off an amazing surge at the end. I enjoyed the NBC "silhouette" piece on him earlier.

I've even seen him play baseball when he joined the Nashua, NH team for a day to raise money for charity! Now I just have to find some good music/audio books to keep me entertained for 15+ hours of driving tomorrow! It will be well worth it though I'm sure.
Annnnnnnd Canada still fails at winning gold medals. USA! USA! USA! Watching moguls makes my knees hurt.
You should definately get picks of Patrick Chan. He has massive hype around him.

And regarding moguls: Besides the knees, I would think it'd put a **** of a strain on your ankles too...yikes!

I have to borrow one from my mom since all my winter stuff is back in NH. I am going to be the most stylin' person in Vancouver. I am also on the Apolo is a ****** train! He just busts it out every time.
Oh...now I get whey they call the skier from Ghana the "Snow Leopard". [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=5477][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504b786ae5f20ed.jpg[/img][/url]

Oh no!!!! I can't believe France edged us out in the Nordic Combined---what a race!! I was literally just holding my breath and at the edge of my seat these last few minutes. Oh what a bummer...but the U.S team just did a remarkable job. And Chappuis was American born even...THEN moved to France. Double-stab! :( Great competition though, that sure was exciting. [QUOTE=Bacchus;156215]Nice outfit! Err.. [/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure I had one of those in 5th-grade gymnastics... :p
The curse is broken. Canada takes gold.
Pretty cool. [url=http://www.emcfrontenac.ca/20100114/editorials/U.S.+Olympic+hockey+team+boosts+military+might]U.S. Olympic hockey team boosts military might - Editorials - By Mark Kerr Frontenac Local Community News[/url]
The US is ahead of the curve thus far! [URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=5492"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/14b79749cabb45.png[/IMG][/URL] [[URL="http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/02/consensus-olympic-medal-count.html"]via[/URL]]

NBC owns all sorts of channels. Yet, right now they are only running the Olympics on one, with Hockey on CNBC a bit later. I remember during the summer games you could pick through 3 or 4 channels at any given time! I wish it was like that this time around. Although I appreciate all sports, I'd rather snowboarding right now.
A friend said something to me about a comment Bob Costas made regarding the medal count. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
[QUOTE=molds13;156423]A friend said something to me about a comment Bob Costas made regarding the medal count. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?[/QUOTE] I must have missed it.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;156425]I must have missed it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I can't find it anywhere. From what he told me though it was pretty hilarious.
****it...I acciently ruined the Olympic downhill....sigh. Why can't NBC broadcast live! Well...now I'm not watching. And I'm a Nielson house, NBC, do you hear me?!!
It really bothers me that they don't broadcast live. At least for the medal rounds. I have to look online to see who won men's snowboard cross since it doesn't come on here until 8pm.
If anyone wants a good laugh, check out the Facebook feeds they have on Vancouver2010.com. It's hilarious.

I'm watching anyway...but still mad I know the outcome. Ok NBC, you win.
