maritime regional climates, how does that shiat work tardmitter:

No, damn you England. Who decided that one of the coldest, dampest places on Earth would be the perfect place to have the summer Olympics? Beach Volleyball......played in raincoats in a downpour.

And this is why the Summer Olympics should only be held in places that actually have a summer.

No. Those are their uniforms, and they have to wear them or the results will be unofficial.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

guess the sun isnt there

Well, duh, it's in *London.* what else did everyone expect?

Walker: No, damn you England. Who decided that one of the coldest, dampest places on Earth would be the perfect place to have the summer Olympics? Beach Volleyball......played in raincoats in a downpour.

They've held the games in London before, and right after that they held the games in Helsinki.

UNC_Samurai: They've held the games in London before, and right after that they held the games in Helsinki.

That was before they added beach volleyball. And before anyone could actually watch the Games unless they were in the host city.

Well guess I can return the jergens and tissue to the store

Look at Mr. Fancy using a name-brand like Jergens.

I watched the Olympic trials for women's gymnastics last night.

I had to take a shower after to wash off the 'dirty old man'.

But warnings of continuing cool, wet weather this month threaten to put a dampener on things if the girls don frumpy shirts and leggings.

Shauna, 27, said: "Once the temperature drops below 16°C we are allowed to wear long leggings and long-sleeved tops."

No longer officially true. This is the first year in which the rules have been changed and the women don't have to wear the bikinis if they don't want to:

But the days of mandatory bikinis are over, says the International Volleyball Federation. According to newly adopted rules, female competitors in Olympic volleyball will be permitted to wear shorts and sleeved tops out of respect for the cultural beliefs of some participating countries.

"Many of these countries have religious and cultural requirements, so the uniform needed to be more flexible," said International Volleyball Federation spokesman Richard Baker to The Associated Press.

According to the Telegraph, the new guidelines permit "shorts of a maximum length of three centimeters (1.18 inches) above the knee, and sleeved or sleeveless tops."

The bikini's and babes aside....why in the fark is "beach volleyball" an Olympic sport? Fark it, frisbee, hackeysack and skimboard should be added next....

It goes back to the ancient Greeks in the first Olympic games who played volleyball on the sands along the shore of Athens. The "ball" weighed 30 pounds and was a leather bag filled with shot, and they played naked (as with all of the games), thus leading to additional hazards due to abrasions.

You can get rid of beach volleyball when you get rid of the "exercise events" of pretty much all of track and field and swimming.

Farking Muslims don't want their women competing at all. Why indulge them?

There won't BE any beach volleyball!

Because we're not indulging the Farking Muslims who don't want their women competing at all, we're indulging the Muslim women who do want to compete. I mean, what would you prefer - that we do exactly what they want and structure the rules so that those women can't compete? What kind of appeaser are you?

Well we will always have gymnastics for our Olympic fapping.

Track and field are one of the original Olympic sports...I don't watch them, but I'm willing to give them a pass...Swimming? Ehh, could take it or leave it....But BMX? Beach Volleyball? A "sport" (activity) should have to be around for at least 100 years before it's added to the roster....

/I don't even know if BMX is still a recognized Olympic sport...but it never should have been...

Well it's only once every 4 years you might as well do it right. Ill go back to the store brand afterwards.

In case you were wondering, "Trampoline" is an Olympic event this year.

WELL.

I just have to say that I am REALLY disappointed in you guys.

Except for you, under a mountain.

You're fine.

But the REST of you... very disappointed.

Grables'Daughter: WELL.

This is like some odd sort of reverse-psychology AW tactic, right?

/not going to work... Most of your audience is turned off by words

/I think there is treasure under that "X"

/and they can play in the rain

/or mud.....

Nothing like a bit of a chill when scantily dressed babes are around.... Nerp Nerp Nerp

Exactly, but I am looking forward to the tight uniforms they will be wearing since they look for any reason to show off their tight, tight bodies.

When will people accept this is not an Olympic sport, but is a thinly vieled T & A show?

groppet: Well guess I can return the jergens and tissue to the store

There's always "women's" gymnastics...

It has been lower than 16DEGC (60.8DEGF) every day this month.
===================================== ==========

I mean, it's been horrendously hot here (For Ohio weather, anyway)... but I don't want it to be THAT cold. That's horrible!

octopied: When will people accept this is not an Olympic sport, but is a thinly vieled T & A show?

Volleyball is two teams of people competing to score points on each other based on objective criteria. It's more of a sport than those piece of shiat events where the winner is determined based solely on their style as perceived by a panel of perverts judges.

Get real. The Olympics is about entertainment - just like any other sporting event. And just like all the others, there's always some T&A (or beefcake if that's what floats your boat) to keep us occupied.

hamfast gamgee: Get real. The Olympics is about entertainment - just like any other sporting event.

Add some misguided nationalism to that mix.

Hooray! I can beat my chest with pride because some people I've never met scored more points against some other people I've never met, but since the winners just happened to be born in the same country as I was, it somehow validates me as though I had something to do with their success!

THX 1138: but since the winners just happened to be born in the same country as I was

Actually, now it's becoming more of "because my country nationalized and paid athletes from countries with better athletes first and got the best ones."

Not that the first idea isn't silly, but now it doesn't even have that common link.

Ha ha! I got him good! Pranked him with a tire iron!

ok, that was TOTALLY the wrong thread. my bad.

We have sandy beaches!



Who the f*ck wants to see them?
