CSI: Miami

In two consecutive episodes I have seen Dr. Daniel Jackson from Stargate, Don Draper from Mad Men, and Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad.

Today's Word(s) of the Day

Flabbergast.

Today's Word(s) of the Day

Comfortably Numb.

Watching David Gilmour: Live in Gdansk again. Well, actually the TV isn't on, but the speakers and DVD player are.  So, I guess I'm listening to it.

Anyways, I felt like posting something on my blog.  And am currently listening to Comfortably Numb.  So. There you go.

And I guess I am sitting on the couch, post-workout, comfortably sore.  So, in some small way, it is actually an apt TWOTD.

Olympic Race Walking Revisited

They are all cheating.  Every single effing one of them.

From the footage, especially the slow-motion stuff, it is clear that every single one of them has both feet off the ground on every stride.

This sport is bullshit.  It does not deserve to be in the Olympics 

I just read that they made a guy give his cycling medal back from the 96 Olympics or something like that. Because he was using performance enhancing drugs.  But, while he was competing, he actually followed the damn rules.  So, if he loses his medal, every damn race walker deserves to give up their medal.

Stop-Loss

This movie a whole lot shorter:

Officer: Well, you just got stop-lossed.

Guy: Well. Damn.

Cut to next scene:

Guy gets deployed.

Fade to black!

The end.

2012 World Superbikes - Silverstone

Apparently, in the US, we say "Liberty is the pursuit of happiness".

No, no we really don't.

These announcers thoroughly amuse me.

Also, good use of a Pink Floyd lyric in your commentary.

Olympic Rowing

Why are they incapable of having a camera angle that is perpendicular to the race course, so you can actually see the gaps between the boats?

Sooper annoying.
