HERE WE GO AGAIN!
I'm actually interested in seeing a few events, but something tells me they won't be televised, mainly Fencing, Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling, and maybe Boxing and Archery. Everything else is stupid, and therefore will probably get like 2000 hours of coverage.

Well when you have only 4 channels, you pretty much have to watch the olympics, ha ha ha
I'm just hoping the events I actually wanna see are televised, I don't wanna see that faggot Michael Phelps for 60 hours straight, unless it involves the US Olympic archery team shooting him to practice for their medal match.

Oh right, good! Though, you have like, literally one to two hundred times more channels than me. I hope we have it on my channel, this is the stuff thats the most awesome. Archery might be a little boring, especially considering the fact that they use those stupid compound bows. Everything else should be cool though.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha h ha, thats hilarious.
"Here we are at the 1900 Olympic games, at the first ever in what is sure to be a new long standing Olympic event, Croquet! We have all of our great fan supporting us! Coming up next, ALSO competing for team France, Jaquis Duvois-Marquis!"
They were singlehandedly competing in and dominating sports years before the US started doing it with Basketball. Though I'm sure mainly Koreans win Taekwondo and Russians win Judo, even though Judo is Japanese, they have Vlad Putan teaching them Judo, so they must always win. Plus they are all built like Zangief from Street Fighter

I just checked the TV schedule, it kinda sucks, all the good stuff is on Cable, NBC only gets like, swimming and stupid track and field, stuff that sucks. Boxing is all on CNBC and Telemundo, I think MSNBC gets all of the Taekwondo and Judo, and I think the Fencing is all on the NBC sports channel which used to be Broadcast, but got taken off, which sucks.

Yeah I saw! So is Boxing! I guess you'd get more out of Fencing though, since your actually a trained fencer, ha ha ha
My computer would bust into flames if I tried that, just looking at the times froze my browser repeatedly.

They are airing fencing on my TV on the 1st, and Judo on the 2nd.

Awesome! although if it starts tommarow, why won't you see it until the 1st?
Yeah, it sucks that Judo only seems to get about half an hour of coverage. I guess because they just expect the same people to win and it won't be Americans, ha ha ha ha.

For some reason, MSNBC really wants to show EVERYTHING so some events get pushed back.

Thats so lame. They have like 5 other networks, including NBC proper, we can cut like, 10 hours of Michael Phelps devouring $5 Footlongs and Subway Sandwiches too so we can see actually not stupid stuff.

Ironically, I saw very little swimming. A lot of tennis and basketball though.

Yeah, because Swimming and Track and Field are relegated to those use Antennas as our punishment for being plebians. That and stupid Gymnastics are all they show on broadcast TV.
We do seem to get a few decent events in the daytime during the Winter Games, I once saw the Biathalon, which was kinda weird, but interesting, and that crazy skiing stuff. Then again we're also stuck with the Figure skating and Snowboarding.
Last winter games though we did get to have the Gold Medal Hockey game, which, while not being a fan of Hockey, was crazy interesting, because it was USA vs Canada, IN CANADA, oh yeah, it was a pro wrestling style crowd. That was more interesting than the game itself.
I just wish we got some Boxing or Wrestling, Swimming sucks.

They are showing Boxing nearly every day on my schedule. And archery.

Lucky!! Though I can imagine Archery would be less fun to watch than actually doing
Boxing is the opposite, getting your face pounded sucks, but it's fun to watch someone do it to someone else, ha ha ha ha

OK, It's already getting started on NBC.
And by that I mean them talking about nothing but Gymnastics, Track and Field, and of course, Michael Phaggot.

Normally I'm not into this artsy crap with the opening ceremony and such, but the one this year was actually really awesome, I liked that, like how they transformed everything and stuff, and that thing with the poppy flowers for World War 1, so cool. And the forging the rings and stuff.
Also, James Bond with the Queen. AND CORGIS!

Ehh, Everyone says China was so cool, I thought it was OK, but I think the begining of this one was cooler.
It's interesting to see all these weird super small countires from the pasific
Also, the Mongols still look badass. And I love how they talked about how incredible the South Korean Archery team is. Damn right they are, they been practicing on the Chinese for the last 2500 years.
Also, I'm surprised how many countries are competing in Boxing.

I loved hearing the Tardis sound during Queen. They just had to put Doctor Who in there somewhere. hahaha
