‘lil Barry is on vacay up at the VIneyard.

What’s the bet he will have nothing to say about americans

& and things that befall them down in Rio?

Well hells bells he went to bat for Skippy Gates when

that queen locked himself out of his own house?

lil’ B will have to leave Marfa’s Vineyard-a real pain the the arse as it’s his last taxpayer funded vacay & now..... it’s being interrupted.

Lil’ B will have a press conference to announce the deaths of american participants in the RIo Games and everybody & their brother will show up at the airport to greet the plane and disembarkment only to have their coffins laid

out with the american flag upon them. bARKY ^ hITLERY
will pronounce their collective amens . Dad and Mom are not happy.

lil’ B will have to leave Marfa’s Vineyard-a real pain the the arse as it’s his last taxpayer funded vacay & now..... it’s being interrupted.

AND IT”S ALL YOUR FAULT!

Can’t I just eat my waffle?

Swimming and other competitions take place in the river.

Only the start of the triathlon which is the open water swim...........

The other open water events are sailing and rowing..........

***Everyone knows that bullets from fully-automatic assault rifles travel very far.***

My niece e-mailed me last week asking me to identify a bullet that had smashed into a neighbor’s window. It appeared to be a full metal jacket .50 cal fired from a long,long distance away as it broke the outer glass, then fell between the panes and never broke or cracked the inner pane.

It happened just east of Dallas TX.

I wouldn't risk my life for a medal

You'd think folks would think that way, but that's most often the way it goes. When folks are too close to danger and they have a lot to lose by acknowledging it, the human mind can rationalize just about anything. From what we're hearing, doing long distance swimming in the open water is insane. But I'm sure if you asked the athletes, they would give you reasons why they've convinced themselves that they're safe.

Keep in mind that most Olympic athletes have always been extremely healthy, fit, and pampered. They may think they're invincible to the effects of the diseases they're exposing themselves to.

It's fascinating, the way people respond to things. Personally, I won't watch anything having to do with these Olympics. It all seems a bit like the movie Jaws, with a threat probably more dangerous than that shark was.....because it can be blocked out of their minds.

The big question is was the shooter aiming at the msm?

The Australian coach complained about the practice pool being so “soupy” the team won’t be allowed in it.

Then there was the kayak that hit a submerged couch. He flipped over into the water, ick. Crazy.

I don’t think the equestrian press qualifies as mainstream anything.
