We've got a huge field at our disposal, and the competitions begin at 4pm. What's your best event? Aqua is in charge of the concession stand. Cash only. ![]() There will be plenty of lawn chairs for observation of the events: Bring your favorite drink in a thermos, with some snacks to share. |

My best event would be sitting in said lawn chairs after having visited the concession stand (which better have booze. Lots of booze.) |

I'm pretty all-around. Running, swimming, cycling, boxing, basketball... whatever you need a warm body for, I'm in. But save me prime seats for the TNCR women's beach volleyball event...

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Put me on the gymnastics team, please! I'm sure Deb and R2 would be great for the team, as well. Growing up I would have sold my soul to be a competitive gymnast. To this day I still get a little too giddy around trampolines. |

Exactly. That's not a bad thing. It's supposed to be fun games; not "The Germs Of Endearment."

I used to love running track. Hurdles were my favourite, and I was pretty good. Today though, I'll confine my sprints to between Aqua's refreshment stand (there will be beer, correct? ) and my ringside lawn chair where I can enjoy the men's track events.

All right. I can do 5 consequtive (sp??) cartwheels. Also a backbend and maybe a split. A handstand up against a tree and some arm balances. I get more daring as the evening wears on. I can also sit totally still with my eyes shut for a long time. That's fun for everyone. Extra points are awarded for creativity in these Olympics. Simply running and stuff will be too boring for the spectators. |

Creative dismounts off the trampoline would be amusing. Bonus points for broken limbs! |

I seem to recall a couple of high school letters in track&field, emphasis on field (even at that age I couldn't run fast enough to get out of sight in a day and a half). Shot and discus, please....and several ibuprofen... |

In that case, I shall attempt every event in the decathlon while drinking beer and singing "John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt". I may very well have a fatal accident during the pole vault. |
