Farewell Beijing Olympics

How sad the Olympics are over. What will I do now without 24-hours of broadcast sports? Luckily US Open is starting now. I need to get TSN.

I had an interesting speculative conversation with a friend last week about the athletes' prospects for encounters of an intimate nature at the Olympics. A bunch of teenagers at their physical peak away from home, thrown together with other physically fit (read, "hot") athletes, teenaged and otherwise? I mean, do they discipline themselves to abstain until the games are over? Or just until their particular competitions are over? I wondered if the athletes thought "doing it" during the Olympics would be bad luck - like shaving during the playoffs. Or maybe, it was a distraction that would throw them off their game, so they avoided all contact until the end. Or do they not care?

Thanks to my dear friend....I now have the answer. Click on the link for the funniest news article I've read in a long time. (Yeah, so I don't read the news...so what?)
