Summer Olympics 2012 LD

[Tastycles]

So I'm standing in a queue to get my Olympic tickets (25 minutes down, 49 until the box office opens!) and I'm thinking we should have a spam thread for this.

See a fit girl doing the floor exercise? Put it in here.

See USA have a hilarious defeat to Djibouti in basketball? Put it in here.

See Usain Bolt run 100m in 5 seconds? Put it in here.

I have been to the Olympic Park twice this week and am in fan boy mode already. There's loads of athletes knocking about. I'm pretty sure a Mauritian swimmer was eyeing me up. I will never forgive everyone I know for not being there to hear my Borat impression when I walked past the Kazakhstan team.

When you buy tickets do you buy them for individual events?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I've been promosied tickets to beach volleyball.

Fuck yeah, beach volleyball!

 

[Tastycles]

Yes, you buy tickets to events. I will take a photo of my plethora later. Facebook friends can see my outrageous amount of travelcards I was just given. I have to give volleyball to my ex girlfriend for reasons I don't really understand.

 

[Daniel]

I still can't believe beach volleyball is being held on the Horse Guards Parade. It's not a fucking beach.

 

[Tastycles]

Where else would you suggest they held it? Rhyl?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Tried to get into Greenwich Park yesterday. The army was guarding it. I decided against it.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

I was sitting in the Lake District this week and listening to an Irish AM radio station where there was an interview with the Kazakhstan head coach about whether they should be allowed to eat horse meat in the Olympic village. They had a special on the morality of eating horses that day.

I'm now ready for the Olympics.

 

[Uncle Sam]

There's nothing inherently immoral about eating horses, is there? I hope that's what they decided.

Going to the boxing next Friday. Also went around Stratford on Tuesday. Saw some Mexican and Malaysian athletes. Was a tad weird.

 

[Loveless]

I've got tickets to the boxing and archery, wanted some for the swimming, tennis and athletics but wasn't willing to pay the price.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I will watch the football, just because its football.

But I have little interest in most athletics, I may watch the 100m final, but thats about it.

The only reason I am interested in the Olympics at all is Jessica Ennis, what a woman

 

[Tastycles]

Mate, Ennis can sit on my pennis.


Or something less sexist.


I'm also in love with Pendleton and that other lady cyclist, Rebecca (name?) Trott.

 

[The Talon]

America owns your country this year. USA USA USA!

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I'd pay to watch basketball, football, and the martial arts/boxing but honestly thats about it. Maybe weightlifting cause there is a chance someone will shit out their heart.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

It makes me beyond excited Jamaica has 3/4 of the runners in the 100m final. If Tyson Gay wins that I'll rage.

Also, Go Canada, they'll need the help in the Summer Olympics.

 

[Chess]

Brazil Vs Egypt at the Millenium in 30 mins. Gonna be awesome!

In other news Romney seems like a twat. These olympics will be epic!

Day one: North Korea flag is not shown, instead the South Korean one is.

Day two: The captain of the host nations football team refuses to sing the national anthem.

We've not even started the proper Olympics yet.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Anyone have tickets to see any of the gymnastics? I think that would be awesome to see.

[Tastycles]

Fuck me, how thick.

 

[Uncle Sam]

‎"This ceremony is taking forever. Surely we can aggregate some of these countries?" thought Hitler in 1936.

Posted that as my Facebook status. Thought it was more clever than the one like it currently has.

Anyone catch the Rowan Atkinson thing? Hilarious.

 

[Gelgarin]

Credit where its due, that torch was pretty nifty.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Anyone catch the Rowan Atkinson thing? Hilarious.

That was my favorite part.

Enjoyed Paul McCartney's performance. Just to show how stupid the world has gotten, someone on my Facebook timeline posted the status, "Is that Elton John performing?" I left the comment below...

"It's Paul McCartney from The Beatles. And no, he doesn't do Eminem covers because he isn't an untalented ******." Currently on six likes. Rather pleasing.
