If you want an insight on Australian Humour, se if you can find the coverage by HG Nelson and Roy Slaven. It's a pisser! It might be carried by NBC?

Love the jackets of the US team. If only you guys knew what a root meant in Australia!!!

Maybe everyone is watching the Olympics cos this place has become quite boring lately.

Smiggins hole for 2010!

Nah, although I believe if you were to use that in the same context that I mean you could be arrested in a couple of you Southern States.

Got root and the term root on the clothing is for the computer geeks among us....my MIS friends wear that stuff, we think it's cool cause they have "root" on their shirts..but to them it means root directory or some computer jibberish

Since they banned sexually suggestive moves from figure skating, there is not much reason to watch the Olympics, now is there?

Computer Geeks.........EEK!

So I guess Bunyip was talkin' about "root" being an "action" word.......verb.

Too funny nigal. My friend says he is going to start a new chain like Hooters. Only it's gonna be called "Camel Toes". He has asked me to help design the uniforms. I say a pair of short shorts with a one strap suspender. What do you think of this?

I would love to root Picabo Streets.....a real cutie. In the summer olympics in Australia, the Canadian team jackets, hats etc. was sponsored by the ROOTS clothing co....I read that they were being bought off the backs of the athletes.

Bloody Cannucks!
Root is a Canadian clothier whose duds the yanks coveted in Nagano. In this way Great White North gets our money and a good yuk behind our backs, eh!

I'm tt'ing between triples while watching figure skating. You just gotta wonder if all the skating pairs sleep together!


Did you see the snowboarding? The incredibly biased subjective judging is more obscene than I've ever seen figure skating. If the Jap and French judges got a clue and started voting as a block, the USA wouldn't see another medal!

Yuk yuk, I didn't know the U.S team were wearing Canadian made clothes.

Too bad the olympics can't cut out the subjective sports...they bring in a lot of revenue.

They even made ski jumping a subjective sport...what the hey...the one that jumps the farthest wins, period. Who cares how their form looks in the air!!!

Shouldn't it be the strongest, fastest, highest wins?

The Canadians got jobbed.

I was singing O Canada while the Soviets got their medals.

But you can't blame the Soviets. No telling what the KGB might do to them when they get home. But we can blame the French. They voted with the Eastern Bloc.

Europe can kiss my North American ass.

Shafted again...
The Russian couple didn't deserve the gold medal...they looked shaky in a couple of their landings.

While the Canadian couple was flawless and fluid. They had the loudest cheers from the audience. The audience actually booed when they were placed in 2nd position.

The Chinese had no right to that bronze medal...the gal fell and their program was unspectacular. Plus the guy looked weak while he held his partner overhead...he seemed worn out.

All politics. That's why I hate subjective sports.

Without the Cold War the Olympics are just a bunch of Kids playing in the snow. Who cares? The big controversy is Ice Dancing? No thanks.

This was supposed to be a thread about taking the piss out of the Olympics. The whole concept is corrupt and overseen by Fascists.
The whole idea is a 2 week advertising campaign for big multi-national corporations. It is obscene that such huge amounts of money is squandered on this crap, while third world countries are starving!

Soviets, Soviets???

Are those buggers back in power and poised to take over the world?



What is this the '36 Games?
Will der Fuhrer be furious if the chosen people don't win everything?

Soviets? That was the weird thing. Apparently, Russia has returned to the Soviet national anthem because that's what they played. It felt like the 80s again.

Maybe they just couldn't remember what the anthem was back in 1917...

You're so fine you blow my mind
