Complete Olympic Schedule (Presumably updated with Results)
The suits the ski jumpers wear are designed to provide maximum aero-dynamics through the air as they try to fly as far as they can.
The snowboarders wear the baggy pants so they have a place to keep their pot.
So far the "Flying Tomato" has gone splat.
Must be first Olympic jitters. I hope he does better on the next try.
Anyone keeping a medals count?
Sweeeet! Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!
Yay! Benshoof moves into first place.
Thanks Howlin... I'm a little late getting here, but I've been watching the TV
Dang...Benshoof bounced down to three and the Olympic champ is next so it looks like Benshoof won't get any medal at all.
Okay...he is offically really cute!!
Do you know if Carrot Top is snowboarding tonight?
I don't get his emails anymore!
(Is there a real snowboarder named Carrot Top?)

Yes.. but he went squish and will have to do another qual run to make the final.
Oh, I know there are aerodynamic explanations for most of the Olympic garb (except for Apollo's goatee...explain that!). I'm just critiquing how they look. The luge outfits? Tres horrible! Don't they know that a nice solid, dark color would look so much nicer? Oh, and their helmets! They're so retro- like George Jetson's!
Jetsons from the future yet retro! LOL
Lemme guess... you love ice dancing because of the cute outfits, right?
I was really hoping she would get a gold this time around. Not that I know anything about figure skating at all. Oh well.
Go USA! Go Japan!
Go Apolo!!
Go Ono...indeed....but, we also have "Isy" from Michigan to root for!!!
The top American snowboarder has a mop of raging red and looks like he could be Carrot Top's little brother.
Yeah, but Apolo is defending Olympic champ of 2002.
