Winter Olympics 2018

[gjbassist]

I have been in to the Olympic games since I was a kid and always try to watch as much as I can. Opening Ceremonies are tomorrow night! Who's ready to watch 2.5 weeks of winter Olympics and what are your favorite sports? It's hard for me to pick favorites but I would probably say downhill skiing, snowboarding (halfpipe) and bobsled.

I won't be watching the opening ceremonies, but I enjoy watching the different sports - something different from what you usually see. Just no figure skating. Short track speed skating is most cool.

We'll be watching home town gal Lindsey Vonn, hope she does well this year and stays out of the fences. Wife digs the figure skating stuff. I like the Down hill skiing and Bob sledding events

I think the luge is insane. They strap a skate to your butt and push you off a mountain. That is a "hold my beer and watch this s###" sport.

I like curling, but only for the haute couture.

I'm still waiting for NBC to cover the biathlon properly. That's got to be one of the most skill-involved sports on the planet. I'd love to see a good feature on how tough it is to shoot a rifle with your heart rate up on the chip.

I had to look up couture..... TB is so educational.

I was lying in bed last night and this thought came into my brain: is the “b” in aberdumbie silent? I have found that it is common for me to wake up in the middle of the night and have weird thoughts that seem perfectly - PERFECTLY - reasonable at 2:30am, but turn out to be absurd at 6:30am.

Right now I'm trying to find the best way to watch the games online, since NBC's coverage is abysmally horrible

I Love watching Curling!
That’s been going on for 4 decades.
Unfortunately, coverage is So sketchy that I’m not allowed to watch Curling nearly as much as I’d like.

I love watching the biathlon, luge, SKELETON! ... bobsleds, speed skating...been watching the NHL (Damn, Suits! The best players on the globe won’t be in South Korea...wass Wrong witchall?!?) since I was 10!

The Winter Olympics BURY the Summer Olympics...
IMHO...

You mean you want to watch something OTHER than figure skating? NBC finds that inconceivable.

the only thing crazier than that is going down head first, they do that too. That's what you want, your noggin stickin right out front whilst you hurdle down an alley of ice at 90 mph, what could go wrong right ?

The "b" is silent in aberdumbie. It is pronounced "aer-dum-ee."

Too violent, too fast-moving, and too much doping.

Right? The biathlon doesn't get enough love (dead srs)

 

[skwee]

I get very emotional about the Olympics. Very moved by the idea of international harmony (even though it really is the potential of international harmony).

I'll rewatch the opening ceremony in the morning, so I don't have to hear the AWFUL AWFUL interrupting commentary.

The first “b” is pronounced as “l-m”. You are correct about the second “b”. It is silent..... So it is pronounced almer-dummie........ I am a ventriloquist’s puppet and require a very short scale bass.

Long or short A?
