just got back from clone wars and was very disappointed george lucas is gonna ruin his legacy!
Speed walking has got to be one of the goofiest events I've ever seen.

Right up there with Badminton, I do find it rather enjoyable however when they repeatedly mention the shuttlecock. It's fun to say, try it.

As I recall when I was a child of about 6 or 7 we called it a "birdie" and yet these people, these so-called "commentators keep shouting the word Shuttlecock!
clone wars viewing 2hrs and counting down im only going for the kids honest!
Tacitus - have you ever heard of Beerfest?
If walking is an Olympic sport then it's only fair that they should include some things that the Irish are good at, such as drinking. Just think:

"And Tacitus needs just one more vodka to take the gold! A lifetime's preparation and sacrifice has paid off! What's this? He's fallen over.... and the Russian......wins!"

After a (bar) steward's enquiry, however, it turns out that those dastardly Russkie sorts have been watering their drinks. Justice is done and the gold stomach pump is awarded to the rightful winner!
Oops, Sawman3. I was close.

OK, it's sent.

I'm crashing!
Actually SawMan, I need to send that off for reformatting, so it will be back by the time I get up.
It's 3 a.m. I guess I mean today. I'll finish them today.

I'm on less than 4 hours sleep, and a 13 hour day working at my friend's house. I'm going to finish that avatar thread tomorrow, guys.
Don't worry we can train for the next four years.

GO FOR THE GOLD

It's power walking, you have to keep one foot on the floor at all times. Don't ask me how I know.
