Après le délugeEver wonder what Olympic athletes do in the village after they’ve either been eliminated or completed their events? Not surprised. Not even a little. Judge not, etc. Update: Off message. Bad, evil, naughty girls. 16 comments to Après le déluge |
Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?

Hey, those shot put women are HOT!
Hey… Let me re-state … Womens Beach Vollyball is the break/bust out sport of the entire Olymipcs…I’ll miss it…Best
Women and men in a highly competitive environment, why I’m shocked at the outcome.
Horrified even.
All I have to say is damn those swimmers.
*shakes head in mock disgust*
Is Obama is an admin at Hotair ? The Update link points to a blank page – but not a 404 so there was something there.
Wicked shocka…/sarc.
The NBC video has been pulled from YouTube and other sites – citing copyright infringement. I question the timing.
Just the kind of article the father of a 16 year-old Olympic gymnast would like to read!
What Olympics? Those game thingees are on again? Sigh. What an incredible waste of time and money. Sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to watch it.
Now, pre-season football is well underway, and THAT is something to watch.
games??
what are these games you speak of??
only game i’m aware of isn’t for another 106 and a butt days…
..in Philadelphia.
Gets a whole new meaning when you consider the Chinese gymnastic team is under 16.
Lookit, I am all in favour of sports and competitions. My beef is that the Olympics have lost their collective way. It used to be that the games reflected competitions in skill sets that were required for combat. Archery, discus, shot put, running, javelin, rowing, swimming, etc. Now we have volleyball, basketball, softball, ballroom dancing, curling, hockey, ping pong, etc. Can “Magic the Gathering” card competition be far behind? How about adding some D&D RPG’s? Tractor pulling? WOW? Texas Hold’em?
Where does it stop? the Olympics, IMHO, are a joke, a sell-out to the almighty dollar and nothing short of scrapping the IOC and starting all over again will ever bring back it’s credibility.
Mandatory drug testing, NO commercial endorsements. NO government support. Pure Amateurs. Make a huge venue in Greece, in memory of the original games, and let it be held there in perpetuity. Make the games MEAN something more than who can cheat the best and get away with it, and who can make the most money and gain the propaganda edge.
I stopped being interested in the Olympics long ago. Maybe I am just jaded, but it seems to me to represent every nuance of the word “hypocrisy”.
Respects,
Tim, throw in the original “compete in the nude” and I think you’re there. I’ll watch the womens track and field and the Lex Babes can watch the rest.
“Stripped down and greased up like the wily Pathan”, eh?
I’m not certain, however, how many would be interested in watching nude weightlifting. I’m not certain I would want them for my friends, either…
XBradTC has an absolutely wonderful idea. I would only offer that if we’re going to compete (by which I mean people other than I are going to compete) in the nude then the winter games should be held in a different location than Greece.
Brazil comes to mind…
Or anyplace with a beach and those fruity drinks served with umbrellas. I’m not very picky…

Yes, the swimming at Beijing is over………..
(From today’s New York Post)
+++ Michael Phelps doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he celebrated his record-breaking eight gold medals in Beijing by sneaking off for a sizzling game of tonsil hockey with one of Australia’s hottest Olympians.
Phelps, fresh from shattering Mark Spitz’s 36-year-old record, was spotted Monday night in a hot make-out session with Down Under swimmer Stephanie Rice, a source tells The Post’s Clemente Lisi and Luke Dennehy. The pumped-up pair clinched and swapped spit at a celebratory bash outside the Olympic Village.
The Baltimore Bullet swooped in for the lip-lock with the 20-year-old brunette just weeks after she split from Aussie swimmer Eamon Sullivan. “All the swimmers are talking about it, and [Sullivan] is cut up about what happened,” the source said.
The day after the face-sucking frolics, Phelps and Rice cheekily posed together for Speedo – laughing and playfully groping each other as a photographer snapped them in their swimsuits. “I definitely admire him for his athletic ability and everything he’s achieved,” gushed Rice, who won three gold medals of her own. “I’m just really glad to be in the mix with that.”
Whether the dynamic duo is now a couple isn’t known. Phelps’ rep didn’t return our calls.+++
I think the paper got it all wrong, and they were just comparing gold medals in an innocent and wholesome manner.
MaxD: fruity drinks with umbrellas? then evidently any Navy O’Club will serve as a location.
