Well, I'm not the fisherman you guys are, so I need to sharpen my skills at what I'm good at.

I can't wait to say "spot of tea love"    , I believe it will be
like going to Canada and ending every sentence with "aye"

I've always wanted to go up there and call somebody a hoser, and then ask them what a hoser is. I've also always wanted to go to England and say"say what, gov'na? in my best Terry Thomas voice.

gov'na 

 


that would be hilarious , and it might get us a one way ticket home

I almost did something like that in Canada 

got some American money exchanged to Canadian money when
I crossed into Canada ...

I made mention of the money looking weird with all the different
colors on the bills ...
the lady working at the exchange place says ..

"we do that so we can tell the different denominations from each other" 

I say ....
"that's great . WE JUST PUT NUMBERS ON OURS" 

she failed to see the humor

British influence on their currency. Looks stodgy.

What the hay happened to Lochty today against the French in the 400 relay? He has been critical about Phelps mailing in his training during the Olympics, then he gets passed by THE FRENCHMAN to finish 2nd! Slacker!

Coverage is coming back on tonight.  Sounds like gymnastics qualifying rounds, and swimming.  I remember watching the Olympics in the 70s, and it was track and field, boxing, some gymnastics and limited swimming, the marathon, etc.  Now it seems swimming and gymnastics have become so popular that we are even getting the qualifying rounds instead of other sports.

I didn't mind the bicycle racing.  The Americans came close to getting a medal in both men's and women's races.  In the women's race, the American woman riding with the three eventual medalists had an unfortunate flat tire or she likely would have gotten at least silver, as she is a strong sprinter.  In the men's race, American Taylor Phinney came in 4th, just outside the medals, but the strategy was executed perfectly.

Of course, I've competed in bicycle races, and ping pong, as well as more typical sports like football, baseball, golf, tennis, etc.  (I have a first place trophy from the Alabama State Championships in ping pong, as well as a couple more from my UofA days).  My wife was a competitive swimmer.  So I enjoy watching a variety of sports.  But the opening ceremony was Absolutely Boring.

The Americans, who gambled and lost when they called up Lochte ahead of their sprint specialists, held on to take the silver medal after an exhilarating finish.

I could hear the guy that works for me saying " he's flying , he's flying"
he was watching the race , I couldn't see it and didn't get a chance to
talk to him afterwards , now I know what happened ...

Men's gymnastics got smoked, not just by the Chinese, but most everyone. They made one mistake after another. It was painful to watch last night.

I wonder how much it costs to transport a horse to England?

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

I've yet to watch a single minute of the Olympics?  Am I unpatriotic?
