I watched the winner cross the finish line with a couple of guys chasing him. Idiots, why are you chasing him? You've got a rifle for god's sake, why wear yourself out?

I like watching opening ceremonies, biathalon, curling, bobsled ... I guess events that I think I could manage.
I also like figure skating. If you've done it, you have to watch it. It's one of those things, I guess.

there isn't a summer equivalent of running and shooting? I thought there was . . .

I voted for the ones I prefer to watch. Skiing, snowboard 1/2 pipe ... But to define the Olympics I think the skating has to be at the top. I'm just not a fan of it though.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a while. What a beaut! Unfortunately they are limited in the number of clips and cartridges they carry, so at the end they are out. Unless they pulled a Barney Fife and had one extra in a shirt pocket. Classic! Reminds me of The Long Walk by Richard Bachman a.k.a.Stephen King. Only short story I have ready more than once.
