Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

The swimmers just rub me a bit the wrong way. Especially that James Magnussun campaigner, the one who threw a tantrum because the national trials for the London games were held in Adelaide instead of Sydney, and then he pranced his way to London like his shit don't stink only to lose and whinge some more. It's probably a bit unfair of me to mark them all against him but oh well.

He is a bit of a ****, that's for sure.

Laugh is on him though as he'll wind up his career without that elusive gold because he was piss-farting about like a 15yo taking sleepers and caffeine for a cheap high when he should have been focussed.

Fun fact: several life times ago, I used to be a competitive swimmer.

I became so enamoured with the Olympic dream after the spaceman and Lionel Richie closed the '84 Los Angeles games that I did a mock run through of activities I could pursue that might see me one day become an Olympian. The process of elimination narrowed it down to long jump and being Australia's next Gary Honey.

 

[Lagooner]

Help me out here Pappagallo, I'm drowning here.

That's because you've angered Kieren Hackthorpe, the almighty Aussie Water God.

For those too young to remember the Hollywood Games, here's the spaceship in the closing ceremony. You even hear the alien visitor speak.

I'm spewing that BMX is now a part of the olympics. I would have rocked that shit in the 80s.

I wonder if Raoul Gonzales's post Olympic life back in Mexico involved being a Richard Pryor impersonator....

I was actually a decent middle to long distance runner, but unless you're from Kenya, Tanzania, or Ethiopia you're just wasting everybody's time.

When choofing gravity bongs while playing quoits comes in to the olympics I'll be a cert.

Gravity bongs always killed me. 420 is my kryptonite.

Even in Wales we used to pretend to be BMX bandits, the main criteria was that you wear gloves whilst riding your bike.

Always wanted to ride my bike down a waterslide and come out completely dry.

Why can't people just wait a day or two?

Finished off Stranger Things last night t'was pretty average why the fuss? 9.1/10 on imdb lel

I'm with you. Many hours of my life I won't get back. WADA suspended the wrong Ryder.

Some classic Chiwigi passive aggression there.
Who's arguing? I'm just not particularly sympathetic when a well to do sportsperson living large off the taxpayer falls short in ONE of her numerous events.

If we ever happen to meet, you will find passive is not my way.

On a sports forum where we all spend a lot of time decrying the intricacies of a game played in a small corner of the world, supporting a team from a little known suburb, in a massively tax subsidised recreation. I simply believe it's a bit disingenuous to criticise someone's passion and disappointment in their sport when we are moaning that that our well paid professionals don't show enough passion.

As an example, I have personally posted several times TODAY complaining that a man I have met fleetingly wore sunglasses and slouched in a pre season game played 3 years ago.

lol, even my 79yo Mum, who barely even knows what the internet is, called it.

Apparently the ABS underestimated the number of households in Australia and therefore didn't allow sufficient capacity for them to all be online filling out their census data on the census night.

Managed to get through to the first page and it advised to try again after August 10.
