OK... so maybe with a little help from Photoshop.
But I'm baffled as to why nobody has started any threads on the Olympics. Anybody watching? Favourite sport(s)?

i have a nice big screen tv here at my office that has the olympics channel on the dish network.
it's definitely motivating our select lucky office members!
the wrestling & the weight lifting have been pretty gnarly. now it's usa vs korea in baseball!
but it does tend to go down a bit when it rains like heck here.

Hasn't been much interest amongst my friends or colleagues, bit unfair seeing as the UK, US and China are doing fantastically well in the medals haul. A great weekend for the UK will be greatly overshadowed by the fact that Premiership football has returned this weekend. With 2012 being in London the government are very keen for a GB football team to be included, as they reckon this will be a major factor in generating interest for the Olympics.Rick Hunter said:

Well actually, I was in the Olympics this week. I am upset that none of you reported seeing me. You would think that at least Rick Hunter would have noticed. The weather was great and the Zed just ran along so nicely. I went all the way up to Hurricane Ridge. 
Oh you were talking about the Olympic Games I thought you were talking about the Olympic Mountains here in our neck of the woods.
Sorry guys it is Sunday evening and Best Buy fregged up my big screen TV and I am bored. Don’t ever ever ever ever let a Geek Squad dummy even in your home let alone look at your TV. Can you image a TV repair person who does not know how to check the voltage on a power supply? God what do kids do in school these days, eat the books? :x

Stay on topic, please.
Anyway, I took in some of the Olympics on TV this weekend. Just amazed about the Jamaicans whooping ass in the 100 metre finals. They didn't even leave any chances for the 2nd place runners.
And I love watching the gymnastics and volleyball tournaments. Reminds me of the good ol' school days when I was semi-athletic.

If you had told me a 6'5" dude could run the 100m that fast and make it look so easy I wouldn't have believed it. That was something special to see. I just wish he had not done the show-boating at the end. He would have cut off at least another .1 second off his time.
