More Olympics



Some of the sports in the Olympics that you don't see often are really cool.
~
  • Team Handball - a combination of Basketball and Lacrosse.
  • Badminton - Not your backyard lawn game.
  • Water Polo - Something fun to do at the pool.
  • Table Tennis - Definitely not Ping Pong.
  • Wrestling - has nothing to do with the bogus stuff on TV, which shouldn't be call wrestling.
~
I'm not really interested in the baseball, basketball or tennis where the Olympics are not the pinnacle of the sport.
~
Course Track and Field still rules. I'm disappointed that Shalane Flanagan hasn't received any televised recognition though. She runs in the 5000 meter final on Friday, but since she wasn't a medal favorite in the long runs, the networks televised pre-planning hasn't keyed on these events.
~
If she medals again in the 5000, the networks will have missed out on a great story.

Howdy, and apologies for my absentee being. Hoo yow! I am flush with pocket money and tales to spin from the road, wherein my jug band, the Foghorn Leghorns, just come back from. Called it 'Tunapalooza' in these parts, hit every town fair and roadhoase juke joint from the Ozarks Hempfest to the Winnebago Muddy Water festival. Ussins blazed a trail of toe tappin' fiddlin' and bumpin', liquor fueled misdemeanors and amorous involvifications with BBWs. This here money I lifted from an invalids' panhandlin' is burnin' a hole in my trousers. I am gonna git on down to the oriental health spa (next to the coin-op launderin')and get my road weary bones a rub down, and mayhap a welcome home hand release! Coo Coo!
