Ahem! We are still winning in the medal count. Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

This thread reminds me of a bar where the staff was talking about how long they should show olympics with sound on during weekends.

The bars around here (sports bars excluded, naturally) keep sound off. Even during the Olympics.

A distant cousin of mine competed in synchronized diving for Great Britain. I'll admit it... I was cheering our once-overlords on.

I could snore for France if they give me enough wine the afternoon before.
