So negative on the synchronized sports…I think it is just they have the wrong sport. How about–
–Pub dining…beer, banger’s n mash, and followed by darts. I’m thinking penalty loops for drinking spills and any food not properly consumed.

And none of that speed gulping crap, I’m thinking manners and etiquette, forks and knives…and judge the conversation value.

I’ll be training for this tonight–you in?

What if you ran their website? Could it be less helpful.

I know bubkiss about web design, but if I were their webdesigner I would design a site that allows you to register and select “event preferences” so that you could login in and follow an event besides olympic swimming, beach volley ball or gymnastics.

Maybe we could make a point of interviewing the Gold metalist in an event before talking to the favored hurdler who just finished 7th because she hit a hurdle. “How does it feel to have your dreams shattered in Beijing”
