oh Womens ...was gonna say didn't think it started yet
 
The nation of Russia was banned for having a state sponsored doping program in the last olympics. If individual athletes test clean they can compete as an OAR (Olympic Athlete from Russia). I guess the theory is clean athletes should not be punished for transgressions of thier nation state, I mean some of these kids were probably only 13-14 years old during sochi.

That makes sense. Did they not have enough clean players to field a hockey team?

Those Canada peoples have some good figure skaters.
 
See I feel almost the opposite. I mean, I really like Track and Field but I’m all about the Luge, ski jumps and downhill, snowboarding.

Think my sarcasm was a bit too dry there.

Swimming is worst spectator sport ever.

WINTER ALL DAY SON

The whole thing is a political farce, apparently led by Canadian bootlickers. :dunno:
Yes there will be a Russian hockey team, unfortunately as usual, one unworthy of it's Soviet heritage
 
Oh reno

What do you mean “as usual”?

Really excited to see what our team of has-beens and leftovers can do.

you maybe too young Matty, but I remember Soviet teams of the 70's n 80's. Nhl ers or no Nhlers, Russian teams since, have been a huge disappointment. Not just result wise, but their Canada-light style of play :yak:. ...buy yeah, I'll try to watch, not overly excited though
 
Yeah no, my earliest hockey memories are of the 86 Stanley Cup Finals.

On a mostly unrelated note, I need to find me a Soviet-era Big Muff pedal. They don't make 'em like they used to, renoballs. The commies had some flair.
 
I was not re: summer vs. Winter, though swimming is not my thing.

Men's gymnastics. That's the good stuff.
 
Yes it was, Nina! I could watch that all night.
 
the olympic clowns from the colony lost to Slovakia. figures. And the hardly a hockey province Slovenia, beat the Americans in ot. Maan, I amost bet Slovenia to win gold at 250-1. :mad:
 
wait, the mad smiley is there but not jumping around. I like my mad to be throwing a fit, not steaming internally. let's try :robyn:
 
I think Rogatien killed the vintage GL smilies. :coralway:
 
No I haven't, smileys will be back. I just haven't had time. Trying to figure how to import them programatically, if not I'll start adding them one by one manually. Those :mad and :eek ones just conkindinkly shared the same code with the default ones.
 
what was the old eek, dunno why I would've had it as sig?
