    What are the odds that the project managers of that bathroom have "slipped" off the balcony of a twelve-story building in the last 24 hours?

    Yep.

    And after, Putin went riding off (shirtless) into the sunset.

    I actually can't quite figure him out - he's a strange bird for sure, but he's got some balls on him.

    And then there's this. D'aww!
    (although puppy's all "the fuck?")

    Holy shit - that can't be real. Say it ain't so!

    He sure loves dogs though. Googling "Putin with puppies" yielded some great results!

    (Jason - I must admit that in a couple of photos, the pup's being told "you keep quiet or ELSE!")

    Can you make bets on what will go wrong at the Sochi Olympics? I'm putting the potential body count at +/- 26.5

    I am a bit of an Olympics addict when it's on...... this time around I'm not so sure just because of the obvious problems in who the IOC chose to host. It's crossed my mind to boycott these Olympics due to the human rights problems in the host nation..... then again, I said the same thing when they were in China, and I watched, and I will probably watch these ones too. So I'm just a big hypocrite, obviously.

    I'm going to have to adjust the line ... I read an article where locals are making claims that there are mass graves of construction workers that died on the job and that there were 25 deaths in 2012 alone. Considering there are reports of slave labor being used as well, I'm guessing those deaths go undocumented.

    Yeah, I'm pretty much gonna be glued to my tv for those 2 weeks... haha I'm not really informed about the human rights issue, but I should really get informed..

    The nine hour time difference and tape delay is going to suck when trying to avoid seeing outcomes before the tape delay plays out.

    Good grief! It looks like the US won a bad sweater contest! Is this really the image we want to project to the Soviets???

    I heard the pants have an American flag poop flap on the back.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    At least there is little chance that US athletes will stand out in a crowd to any potential terrorists in those uniforms …
