Your Olympics Day 1 (Technically 3) Saturday Open Thread

Fuck, it’s early on the West Coast and yet we already have our first Gold medal and it’s

 

USA USA USA!

Virginia Thrasher from the USA in Air Rifle.  You know, if you can’t make a good school shooting joke out of that, I don’t think I know you.

Lots of events on today with medals being handed out in Archery

Road Cycling, Fencing, Judo, Shooting (more American medals, y’all!), Swimming, and Weightlifting.

I propose a DFO Drinking Game/Posting Challenge:  Every Gold medal winner gets a shot of the most common liquor from that country and a picture of a model from that country (could be male or female, no discrimination here) posted on this thread.

What say you?

BALLS’ TIP O’ THE DAY:  The best way to watch the Olympics is to be in a country other than the US.  If, for some reason, that is not possible, get a VPN and pretend you’re Canadian.  They really have the best coverage and there is no nationalistic bent to the coverage.  THANKS CANADIA!

Have at it!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Handy Helpful Household Hints!

After finishing your caipirahna feel free to dump your ice and your lime slivers down the garbage disposal.

Next time you run the garbage disposal it will grind the lime rinds and their oils and leave the disposal with a clean citrusy scent!

I like watching beach volleyball, but this is probably the only place someone named “Misty” could succeed without stripping,

Unsurprised

Yo

S’up?

Unsurprised

Walked through one of Portland’s fabled northern industrial zones. So chances are I breathed in a shitload of lead and God knows what else. And I happened to pass by the Portland Brewing Co. and they’re totally out of that Lemon Blonde Ale. However, I walked 6.6 miles and climbed the equivalent of 10 floors/20 flights of stairs, so I’ve got that going for me.

He can eat my ass. I’ll pay him two bits.

It’s a better deal than whatever Trump offers.

If I didn’t have a dvr I’d have busted my tv by now. Florida is a bitch during elections.

I’m getting them in Northern CA too. Since when has this place been in play nationally??

Guys, I don’t think I can watch the hall of fame game.

Fucking colts and packers? My two least favorite teams? Self righteous dbags, all seemingly living in the greater chicago area.

Ive gone years without having to deal with favre, and I don’t want to.

And fuck dungy. Goblin looking son of a bitch.

I love football, but God damn, I couldn’t enjoy this match up less if tom brady was reffing.

Doktor Zymm

You can have fun, even if METEOR. Don’t watch the pregame. Don’t watch the post game. Just watch the action bits, and DFO as needed.

Gratliff

Next year’s HoF will be so much better. Dawkins, LT, and Jason Taylor.

But they’re wearing officially licensed NFL uniforms!

Don’t get me started on the goddamn Packers.

In which sports is it okay to pat a compatriot on the butt?

Wait…which one isn’t it okay?

Water polo,

Yeah it’s difficult, but damn that’s never stopped me before.

This women’s weightlifting duel between this gal from Japan and this gal from Thailand is fucking terrifying.

Not even the scariest woman’s weightlifter I’ve ever seen:

Isn’t that Nick Mangold’s sister?

Bill Clinton was still in office when Kerri Walsh first competed in the olympics.

This woman Thai weight lifter needs a fucking agent NOW.

I can see a long, financially stable career shilling products in her homeland…

The lighting on Jones reminds me of my brother’s professor who called himself Blacker Than Midnight

Sill Bimmons

Jones?

Unsurprised

Whoever 95 is. GIS said it was Jarvis Jones, but I wasn’t checking for accuracy.

Unsurprised

Yeah. I fucked up that somehow. I meant Greg Lloyd.

Horatio Cornblower

If you have three gold medals and five shoulder surgeries it may be time to stop.

Gratliff

Seems to be okay. Must be one of those new fangled PeyPey shoulder tapes.

Gratliff

Highly gifable match already.

...

Watching men’s gymnastics just reminds me how terrible my shoulder strength is. I don’t need that kind of blow to my self-esteem.

Doktor Zymm

Inspirational!

Ichiro almost got his 3000th hit on an ugly infield hit.

I wish he had played in MLB before he was 27. I’d enjoy seeing Pete Rose scramble to remain relevant after Ichiro broke his bullshit record.

laserguru

Yeah, I’m watching baseball too.

I am not ashamed.

...

I expected a late night Cubs game since they’re in Oakland, but they played this afternoon. Now I just can’t sleep and I refuse to watch NBC’s Frankenstein’s monster of reconstituted sports-like product.

Brother Taj was the same way.

Should be a 7:05 California time start dammit!

Sure. It’ll be the only butt stuff I can expect anytime soon.

In the concussion era, how do they justify pulling the headgear from boxing?

JustStopDude

Cause the head gear didn’t actually do anything.

JustStopDude

Carlos Balderes with the upset for US in boxing!!!

Gratliff

As previously stated, that’s what happens when you let the youngin’ punch you in the face repeatedly in the first.

Doktor Zymm

Nope. Nope. Show me sports or show me death! I’m gonna go watch Futurama.

Never a bad choice.

I’ve never understood Tom Brokaw having a job…

Since when was a news presenter desired who sounded like he was a drunk having a stroke?

Genital Issimo

Buy he has a good story right? He rode his family wagon to South Dakota or some shit? Then he delivered papers and ended up narrating WWII live before they even had live TV

Doktor Zymm

I’m bored. Fuck this Olympic not events shit.

Good for her, keeping watch.

Aw, the big boobie lady and her skinny hot blonde friend lost the volleyingball.

Doktor Zymm

I know there are different standards for athletes, but a B cup is not a big boobie. They are both hot ladies though.

Sill Bimmons

Doktor, I served with B-cups. I knew B-cups. B-cups were friends of mine. Doktor, those are no B-cups.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve worn many a style of sports bra, and either those are B cups, or I’ve been wearing the wrong shit for years. I’m only going based on this particular picture, so it’s possible that’s a highly compressive bra and she’s a C, but there ain’t no bra out there that squishes em that much.

Sill Bimmons

Less compressive, more impressive?

comment image

Doktor Zymm

That’s a better picture. I should send her an email and ask what she wears. I have a couple bras that make stuff flat enough against the body that they minimize size, but it’s still difficult to find something for burpees or similar, where there are multiple angles. I have about a dozen sports bras, some look awesome, but suck, some do manage, and pull things flat. Seriously curious about what she’s wearing.

Genital Issimo

You have just earned my vote

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

“BRA FIGHT!”

*Not dyslexic

Isabelle Forrer is fun to watch run

Horatio Cornblower

I was actually just remarking that she was unusually well-endowed for a world-class athlete.

Pretty sure the dog didn’t understand what I was talking about, or he may just be sick of my shit.

Gratliff

This may not be Olympic Boxing, but it’s entertaining as fuck. The Kazikhstan dude should probably stop getting hit in the face

Oh boy. They fucked up olympic boxing.

I have exactly enough mint for one more julep. I wish there was a tennis game where you had to pass like in volleyball. I would totally play that.

I bought some of the anti-Trump beer tonight. I’m saving it for Election Night.

CHINGO TU PELO, FIVE RABBITS!

Unless there’s another anti-Trump beer.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You are also far above the minimum IQ so you are anti-Trump too.

...

The beer can remedy that problem.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

JESUS! HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO DRINK?!?!

JustStopDude

Showing the medals ceremony for shooting. A prime example of how bad NBC is at broadcasting, during the entire shooting event, at no time did they ever show the full firing range. You just saw the participants standing there, with the target superimposed next to them.

Its akin to only showing one end of the fucking pool. You get the impression from the broadcast that the participants are hitting these massive targets, the size of their heads, pretty close to them.

All you need is a fucking wide screen shot every once in a while. Hell, show it when the participants are changing position to give the audience a realistic frame of reference. GODDAMN IT THIS PISSES ME OFF! Its like watching an Ed Wood film.
