Question!

[apocalypsos]

If I stand up during the playing of the French national anthem and do conductor arms, does that make me a dork?

... on second thought, don't answer that.

EDIT: What the hell? Can NONE of these gymnasts nail a landing or does it just feel that way?

Nah. If you play air piano and start singing the German song from Casablanca, THAT makes you a dork.

Gymnastics this year just is one train wreck after another. I have NO idea what's up.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Seriously, yo. That French guy that just went had one of the few nailed landings I've seen all night long.

The gymnasts are not doing well. I am really disappointed. Like, that one guy feel twice. WTF?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Dude, was it the Korean guy that pretty much slammed down sideways after letting go of the rings the wrong way? That looked like it hurt.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

I think that was the Japanese guy that fell, wasn't it?

Either way, who I was thinking of was the Japanese guy who fell twice on pommel.

I like how I am ripping on them like I could totally do that and not fall on my face within ten seconds.

Oh, now that I've seen the Japanese guy again, I think you're right. Poor guy. I felt so bad for him.

Oh, man, I missed that. *wince* It's been like watching one big bruise form tonight.

I know, right? The only thing I'm positive I can do is lots and lots of very naughty things to that really hot Russian gymnast.

Yeah, I feel so awful for him. He just failed so terribly. Poor guy. :(

I might still be able to do a cartwheel on a balance beam. That's about the extent of my gymnastics skills.

I'd be more likely to do naughty things to Michael Phelps...


Oooh, shit, that...what is he, German? Just fell. Wow. Awful. :(

I have no gymnastic skills. I'm still impressed when I can stand up and not fall over.

I still want to climb Phil Dalhausser from the US beach volleyball team like a tree. And I still don't know why. These little bouncy gymnasts are more my type, not the five-mile-tall bald gigantor. AND YET.

Aw, little French guy. *pats him on his head*

La Marseillaise is one of the greatest tunes ever written, and tragically wasted on the French. But then, it'd be wasted on anyone else. It's a real shame about the words ("Let's walk. Let's walk"), but the urge to wave your arms is perfectly understandable.

But nonetheless dorky.

Gah. The landings have been crappy the whole time. I think I've seen maybe - MAYBE - two good landings. Siiiiiigh. The problem is they're going for more and more difficult things that require more and more momentum, and that makes the landing that much more difficult to nail. Almost makes me wish they'd do less difficult stuff, just so we could see the gymnastics actually look *artistic* and not just a display of raw muscle power.
