I think Abyss is hinting around the last few days that he wants to have Putins babies!

All babies are Putin's babies. His sperm are airborn, stealthy, and don't give a cold siberian fuck about little things like gender.
You just wait and see... the entire Gold-winning Hockey team, both genders, are going to be popping out his spawn in six months. Yeah, that's right, six. Putinspawn don't need no sissy nine month incubation, they got things to DO.

Lose.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Sarka is competing in the Halfpipe event, they didn't say she had any injuries from her Slopestyle helmet crack. That's amazing to hear after seeing that fall.

Sweet, when is the womens halfpipe? I've got pretty much everything PVRing, but I'm unsure of the sched.

Kowalczyk was brutaly strong on the 10 km classic today. It's impressive for her to do so well considering her very poor showing on the 15 km on saturday. It was also rather touching to see how moved she was. Not typically known for being a wellspring of emotion is Kowalczyk. At least not here.

It was nice to see Therese Johaug get the bronze too. Bjørgen's complete collapse was more than a little surprising, but Johaug did very well considering she typically does best on the longer distances. It's easy to cheer for Johaug too, her being the most attractive of the Norwegian skiers.

Impressive by Kowalczyk , but . Her technique looks so bad that if she were a horse, she would have been shot. And now the russians has gone mental and didn't pick Legkov for the 15km.

Norway did surprisingly well against Canada. Hockey, on ice or otherwise, is not very popular here. It'll experience a burst if they keep this up though.

That's so when the Canadian Men's Hockey team destroys you, it doesn't hurt so much.

Why are the British so good at sports that involve sitting or lying down?

USA v. Russia hockey. Holy Shit! USA! USA! USA!. Comes down to a shoot out. Oshie/Quick V. Kolvachuk/Brobvosky. Putin was watching, you could see the corruption lines emanating from him.

I just don't understand why the Norwegian skis are so fucking pathetic. They just sucks so bad its a wonder that they manage to move at all. It literally hurts to watch. And on top of all Sweden wins. May they hit a tree.

What was that? I didn't quite understand you. Canada is competing? Ha

The last two Olympic Men's and Women's Hockey Gold says we are, yeah.

Grats to Davis and White on gold! It's reverse Vancouver with Viture and Moir taking silver.

Indeed. It's hard to be mad about it. Davis and White skated their asses off. A close race, but I think they were better than Virtue and Moir.

OMG check out that snow that's falling for the free ski Halfpipe event!!! Fuck I want to run in that. That snow is much needed on those courses though. I've seen how much effort they been putting into preserving the courses in that 50 deg weather.

You should just live in Canada man. We have enough snow now that I no longer have anywhere else to pile it when I shovel. The teetering mountains of shoveled snow are at least 6 or 7 feet high, and the backyard is so deep with it now that the dogs could pretty easily hop over the top of the fence to freedom (this last thing has caused me to ingeniously build snow palisades angling INTO the yard from the fence base up, so they can't get near enough to make the leap)
