what no comments here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well-- how about a general comment-- Phelps is kicking butt-- swimming with the medals!

How about the incident from last week- Georgia and Russia- Don't know what sport it was but the girls all shook hands at the beginning, as this should be done, Georgia kicked Russia's butt, and the poor losers, the Russian girls, made a big deal about these Georgian girls not being from Georgia originally! Sore losers! (I heard this on the radio-- I caught a few minutes of this)

whee... yeah, that's one of our national specialities. We play all kinds of stick-ball pretty darn well, and we have *tough* girls here.

We have had some fun wins/places/shows so far... softball was good; one of our men's Fencers took home a silver; Kitajima has a couple swimming golds in his pocket. Our shooters and horsemen have done squat to date though.
