What did you guys tell me was going to be on tonight?  
Equestrian, and other things.

What did the sports section in today’s paper say was going to be on tonight?  
Equestrian, and other things.

What did my online TV guide say was going to be on tonight?  
Equestrian, and other things.

So what have I spent the last 4 hours watching? What did I miss ABCs excellent series on Johns Hopkins for?

Volleyball, running, decathalon, a shitload of running, sychronized diving (what moron dreamed up THAT little gem of athletic prowess?), more running.

What is NOT in that list? That’s right, boys and girls. Equestrian. Not one fucking horse.

Goddamn lying goat squicking fucking asinine idiotic pricks!! Fuck the Olympics. Am tired of your shit.

Goddammitt…

I’d watch synchronized felching if it were in the Olympics. Maybe we can make the SDMB the international sanctioning body, and perhaps we can hold a few competitions at the next dopefest.
