Usain Bolt was hanging out with the Swedish Women's Handball Team until 3AM

The BBC broadcast team thought that handball call was questionable.

and gets the goal to tie it up 3-3 at 79'

Penalty shot coming up for the US after Canada hand-balls on a free kick

and Canada back up at 72'

And tied back up! edit: at 70'

Canada back up 2-1

Movie's been out for several weeks now, are they still necessary?

Celtic Cross? Confederate flag guitar strap? "14"? A f***ing NAZI flag? Why is this even a question?

Guy's pretty clearly a white supremacist

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) LOL - this is a definitively stupid statement. You can't claim fact based on opinion. Opinions can be wrong. Especially something as silly as "TDKR is the best movie ever"

Why were they so concerned about a fusion bomb, anyway? Was Bruce Wayne ignorant of hydrogen bombs?

So I'm watching the Canadian feed of the Olympics and just saw a hilarious War of 1812 commercial, talking about how Canadians and Brits stood shoulder-to-shoulder to fight off those invading yanks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 09:36 AM) The crazy thing is Bolt was awful out of the blocks. If he gets out quickly, he smashes his world record. Watching him close the race when he was at top speed is just amazing. He makes three or four less steps over the course of the race.

TV news has always had these "personal interest"-type stories.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) You haven't answered my question. Which of the candidates opposing Romney in the primaries was even close to a reasonable contender? Romney was the weakest candidate...except for all the other pathetic candidates. Rick Perry may have worked if he didn't completely self-destruct.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Balta you are way smarter about me than politics. But you think it will not be a landslide election? Come on. It is going to be the biggest rout in the history of elections. Will Romney win one state? Of course. Kansas always goes Republican, but that wlll basically be it. LOL Obama has no hope in hell of just about any Southern state and certainly not Utah. This will not be a Reagan-Mondale repeat. I'd be surprised if Obama's Electoral College margin is wider than 2008.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) And we are, duh, thank you Justice Roberts for defining that for us. 90%+ of people aren't paying more taxes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) And the question winds up being...which of those are important enough for you to do something...like vote. It's not just the extremists on TV. There's a reason why we think of "religious people" in this country as overwhelmingly anti gay...it happens to be true. Throwing up your hands and saying "Not me" and then following it up with "I can't figure out why the media portrays religious people as gay-hating" and "I can't figure out why young people don't flock to the church these days", as has happened in this thread...is a wonderfully ironic combination. Why don't those so-called moderate muslims denounce Al Q in the media?!

I'm not staying up until 12:30 to find out if it smashed into Mars or not.

Bizarre.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) And that's a slogan in there for how it sounds to the public, not an actual estimate of the likelihood of failure. Technically there has to be some margin for error since 2 centimeters would make no difference, if that's how it was considered. Yeah, NASA stuff is low factor-of-safety because they spend a huge amount of time validating everything so that they can keep the weight down, but it still isn't zero.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) Errol Spence is back in the tournament, the result of his fight was overturned. When your sport has had multiple results overturned in the same Olympics, there is something seriously wrong with your judging. The announcers for the other match that was overturned were even saying as the results were announced that this is why the sport is considered a joke.

Were they Germans?
