    ...aside from watching the more popular events, anyone else find themselves watching events they normally would not out of boredom?

    ...I've watched rugby, female judo, female archery, handball, and those skinny assed row boats...I shit you not.

    Me, I'm on the way to the Gym, gonna' see how long I can fake a drowning, to get those pretty Lifeguard Girls to give me mouth to mouth.............

    Rick taught me this trick.....only prob was in his case the lifeguard was a 500 lb Aunt Jemima.... and a Dude took over for her....

    speaking of Rick, the Stat King, where is he? Anyone know. I hope he's doing ok....

    I know Ron, usually he gives me the heads up when he needs me to post the game threads but no word at all.

    I think Rick's last post was two weeks ago. Certainly very strange.

    The amazing Phelps wins 4th gold in 200im. Has 100fly and some relay left and could actually get 6 golds in this olympics. He's still the best and I wonder if we see him again in tokyo

    Yeah, I was watching Phelps at the Gym today. He looks as strong as he ever did. Time has not taken any toll on Phelps, not even the Bongs have taken any toll on his lungs. Besides I thought I heard THC was not illegal if found in Olympiads testing???? Not sure on that tho'...

    But yeah, Phelps could easily be the highest decorated Olympiad of all time, after this go round......

    ^^^if Phelps and I were to share a bong in an empty swimming pool, I'll bet I'd whip his ass in a Chee-tos eating race.

    Definitely worried too. Hopefully the new squeeze is servicing him constantly and that's why he can't type, lol! Either that or his PC dinosaur died another he's taking apple convert classes.
