    How is he a tool? I mean, if he's like a total geeky dork, that just makes him more hot to me.

    Does he kick puppies or beat up first graders or something? Coz, that there is a deal breaker for Jenny.

    On 2nd thought, even then, I'd probably still do him. It's not like I want to be his friend or anything. :D

    Oh come on. People who used to 'know' someone famous ALWAYS say they were a jerk, usually because they didn't know them at all and were just in the same class, had met vaguely once etc.. It's not exactly a reliable character witness.

    Well, it is only 9:30 am over there. We're all not early birds like you. ;)

    But Phelps is scheduled for 10:19 and 11:21. Hopefully you make it that long. :p

    How amazing is this guy? Part man part dolphin. Every time i watch he sets a new world record. I can't believe there isn't a thread saluting america's finest olympian.
    The guy is just badass!!!

    i am so addicted to him. this is so much fun to watch.

    the announcers are a bit over the top, though. "look at his face, you can see the determination, but you can see that he's relaxed..." ummm, what i see is someone trying to breathe underwater.

    Anyway, they were so FAST and I had never seen it played in competition so I was fascinated by it!!! That shuttlecock was flying!!! :D

    i have soooo much anxiety!

    and badminton is probably the only "sport" that i was ever good at. hahahaa. when i was in middle school we had a place at a lake and would play a ridiculous amount of hours. when it came time to play in gym class, me and my best friend dominated. :D so i'm sad i missed badminton. :p

    ooh, swimming back on!
  • nfanelnfanel Posts: 2,558

    between phelps' two races and the women's team gymnastics last night, i have no fingernails left...i have chewed all of them down until they hurt. they keep saying his toughest races are behind him. i say they must getter harder and harder due to the pressure. i agree with whoever said the tension of just watching makes you feel like throwing up.
