I miss Bob Costas.  There.  I said it.

Slovenia.  What were you thinking?  Shrek is not a good color on you...

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Well, shit. Who knew NZ was sending athletes to the Winter Olympics, because I didn't. lol

Israel and Finland have some pretty attractive women!

All the Team USA folks i think shop at my Kroger? All ski bums look alike!

 

[envirotex]

The constellation thing was cool.  I need that for my backyard.

Case in point: currently up, having watched the women's skiathlon (yes, that is a thing) and now watching mixed curling, U.S. vs China!

What, you're telling me you didn't like the fringed extended worker gloves?

Full disclosure: I kind of want them, despite having absolutely no real use for them.

 

[Road Guy]

I already own that outfit

 

[P-E]

I like the biathlon. Skiing and shooting, what could be better.

Ice dancers skate so freakin' fast.

this is a really cool story IMO, especially where on air he muttered a "no fucking way" when he learned he won the gold!!!!

Now I just have to see if I can spot his homemade backyard training course from I-70 - supposedly you can see it from the road

Kind of a shame that the unstoppable luge guy screwed the pooch on one of the turns and placed 4th or 5th.

The only reason I knew this had happened was because of how the commentators flipped out! I was like, umm....wait what happened? LOL

Yeah, they basically copied that... for reasons unknown and unimaginable.

Did you guys see the guy from the Poland luge team who went down without his visor? He couldn't find it and it was his turn, so he just went for it. I can't imagine going 80 mph without the shield. 

 

[Supe]

Holy crap!  That falls into the NFW category.
