Hookay fellow sports lovers, here we go! What do you love? Do you care? Thouusands of wonderful young folks and some a bit older are putting their hearts on stage for you and me...

I love everything about the games, love putting on some great tunes, blasting while I watch...then I saw this German gymnast tear his ACL in the floor exercise, he could barely walk off...knew he had to pull a major event to keep his team in the hunt for the finals..hobbled over to the pummel horse and kicked it up a notch above the others and...nailed the landing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's fine for the athletes, just not watching.

I did see something about some major grumbling about the lake.

I can tolerate women's tennis. Volume muted on the television, volume cranked on the stereo. ;-)

You think that is bad, you never had the number of seagulls that used to run around next to the old burger joint downtown making rude and highly suggestive noises and begging for fries.

Maybe they all got heart disease or became foodies, don't see them anymore.

No such things as bad days, just bad moments

I've been parked outside a biker bar for the past 6 hours. It's at the foot of a bridge and I have clear any stalls or accidents out of the way. To pass the time, I broke off a small pieces off a stale donut and tossed them to some crows. I started to wonder what they'd do with the whole thing. I placed not threw it so it didn't break and they did come to investigate and had a few pecks. Then a seagull swooped in, grabbed the whole donut and started swallowing. Bastard!!
