The protest was officially DENIED. Woot. Who's your daddy?

This race canNOT happen soon enough. It's going to be amazing. But damn, I'm almost 30 and she makes me feel like lazy ass three toed sloth. :?

LOL. You guys are funny. Hey it's a good thing you all posted about the protest and the resolution to it at the same time because I apparently didn't keep watching long enough to hear about it... I watched Phelps' race and Torres'.

I was wondering actually if someone would try and argue it was wrong... but... I thought to myself, "It's a computerized push-plate... how the hell could you argue it?" The kid just didn't push hard enough at the last second... he tried to coast in the last 12-16 inches. So sorry, chump, you gotta push like His Highness the Merman, Michael Phelps 8)

For Shame Elessar!

Phelp's full title reads as His Royal Highness, Lord Merman Micheal Phelps, King of the Sea. That's a direct translation from his native language: Atlantian.

:guffaw:

That really would be an awesome Time Magazine cover. Have him standing with his 11 or 12 or 13 Gold Medals, or w/e insane number it'll be by time this is said and done, around his neck, with a Trident in one hand with the cover title:

"MERMAN" :lol:

I don't know if you can see this (if you can't please, tell me). http://www.conefecto.com/ has a video of the last game of Nadal (the sixth) an it's worth it because it's narrated by the Spanish commentators and they were so hysteric that every time I watch this vid they make me nervous again. And the orgasmic exclamation of tennis ex-player Alex Corretja (one of the commentators) when Nadal wins is hilarious. By the way, Djokovic has the sexiest grunting ever :D

Dood, I'm telling you... every summer FREE porn! Just watch Mens Tennis. And yes, Djokovic has a very stimulating grunt. :loveeyes:

Mens Basketball match is underway. so far US leads Spain 31 : 18. I have new respect for Kobe Bryant since watching various interviews with him during these Olympics. He's a more multilayered individual than I initially assumed. Cool.

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

Spain has won a gold in cycling, men's points race (by a 39 years old cyclist in his last Games). And Ruano/Medina are in the Women's Doubles Gold Medal Match in tennis (against the Williams sisters, this isn't fair :( )

I'm trying to forget how US has beaten us in basket :( :( :(

I keep missing the friggin basketball games. I have to get up earlier.

Did they run the 100M dash finals yet?? I was really looking forward to seeing if Tyson Gaye could beat Usain and Ousafa I think their names were.

Sorry to tell you this, Elessar, but Tyson Gaye didn't even reach the final. And the final has been won by Bolt (incredible race, world record: 9'69).

Wonders never cease. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four

And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Don't feel too bad, we did invent the damn game after all.

Like Englishmen invented soccer? And, later, we defeated them?
Oh, don't mind!
This one was a gratuitous wickedness. :?
