Well, the Winter Olympics are finally here.
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/torino2006/
Who here is actually going to watch? I'm betting on that one red-headed guy to take gold in Half Pipe Snowboarding. He looked amazing.
I didn't watch tonight because I was out buying clothes for my girlfriends dance tomorrow night. Not a fan of the "dress-up" thing.
Sorry about that. What do you guys think about them? Olympics I mean.  |

I'm going to watch, I watched the Parade of Nations and saw my country, Bosnia. 6 people are in the olympics from there.
By the way, shouldn't this be in the tv section mr mod. |

"Im gona watch it all. Every second."
By that of course, you'll mean you'll watch all the events that the Americans are taking part in, and ignore every other one? 
Britian already won a gold! Wooo!  |

| Yea, that's what I hate about watching the olympics, they don't show much of the others, unless they're going for the gold medals. |

| I was looking forward to it, but NBC the company showing it over here added a ton of cartooney comic bookey cartoons and animations to the mens downhill event. I'll probably catch what I can, but what they did to it made it unwatchable. So I switched to Stargate. |

| Very interesting. I guess you guys did win the first gold in 2006, even if it wasn't for the 06 Olympics. |
