But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Nilly! How rotten of them! And congratulations on getting that done - sleep the deep sleep of the just and wake up in September to deal with the asshat bureaucracy.

I think that the men's unitard swim suits are uncomfortable - I saw a picture. . . possibly in TWOP's Olympics HoYay thread where you could see the deep indentations that the uniform made on the skin of one of the guys. Ouchy.

I will try to find links. I believe that there are people here who might appreciate them.

Got to see some cycling this morning and I'm holding out hopes for the next round of show jumping.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jump standards that look like mah-jongg tiles = at least eight kinds of awesome.

Cool! Where are you seeing this? Or are you watching online?

It's on NBC -- but it just now strikes me that I don't know if they're doing a time delay in the central time zone or not.

Damn, did they show the 61 riders before Laura Kraut? How many did I miss!!

Eastern and Central are usually on simultaneiously - just at different "times" in the time zone.

I've only seen a few (4 or 5, maybe?). They switched over after the women's basketball and some assorted updates, so you didn't miss too much.

That's what I thought, but this Olympics has my sense of time even more turned around than it already is...

BTW, did you see the little video feature on Laura Kraut's horse Cedric? (It's on the NBC Olympics Equestrian page.) Apparently, he's a bit of a clown.

Event finals (gymnastics) are up at NBC.

I like the jump where when you look at the whole thing it looks like a dragon's face looking over a hill.
