    I thought the Olympics abandoned the amateur thing ("Dream Team, anyone).  Only the NCAA still enforces amateurism.  

    Huh.  I can both date and embarrass myself by saying the only reason I thought of it at all was the '94 Olympics when they made the rule pros could regain amateur status once.   A bunch of them came back, competed, Torvill and Dean reskated the classic Bolero, then all the pros returned to pro immediately afterward.  The skating authority was ticked and they dropped the reinstatement thing.

    I have no idea what the rules are now, though, I'm a couple of decades out of date Embarrassed.

  • Mystic - almost positive it's a sport-by-sport thing.

  • I've enjoyed everything in here, and am totally TeamBecky. I will say that it confuses me that you need to have this conversation with your husband at all, because why don't you all already know and discuss your shitty families? We do this all the time. Like, H knows that his parents are nice people, fun to drink with, but are obnoxious conservative Catholics and don't get a say in much. My parents are crazy meddlers who need to STFU more often. It is known. 

    I sound like a biitch, which is the last thing I'd wish to sound like to Becky, because Becky is a delightful person who is never mean or bad. I just want your H to know when his mom sucks. It is so easy to do. Parents all suck to some degree. It is known.

    Also, this is the most hideous man woman I've ever seen. I'd rather lick Jessica Simpson's chunky pregnancy blubbercunt all day that look at this woman.

    I can't remember anyone from the 2000 Olympics in any sport.  I barely remember they were in Sydney.

    And this is the issue with sports that don't have a "professional" circuit.  You can probably name a ton of old basketball, football, and even hockey stars.  Swimmers, runners, curlers?  Not so much.

     

    Nope, I know I can't!  I can probably name more football than curling, but only 1 hockey.  

    I'm reading a book (it's kinda shitty) by a marathoner right now and can't even remember his name.   

    I remember Brian Boitano, but that's only b/c of southpark.

    From my experience, New Yorkers may be azzholes in many ways but we do hold doors for people.

    Agreed.

    I'm noticing, however, that the DC crowd (or maybe it's just the NoVA crowd) does not. sadface

    I'm pretty sure I heard Dara Torres is aiming to swim again at this year's Olympics? I'm in awe.

    Get out, is she really? Totally in awe. I was thinking about how amazing she is when I was struggling through my swim last night.

    (sorry to butt in - i haven't read another page of this thread and don't have a clue where this all came from...).

    I'm sitting next to a creepy man doing weird things on the ferry right now and yet I'm the one getting the stares from everyone else because I can't keep my laughter in after reading this.

    Nitaw, I totally wanted, "ring ring hooka" as my ring tone but.. professionalism and all. I LOVE that show. 

     

    LOL. I know. I'd do it too if I could. LOL 

    So, funny story? I just went to look this up, decided it would be an AWESOME ringtone, googled it, came to a page saying so and so created it, and to click here to download.

    Clicked, and came upon this image:

    This is probably the hardest I've laughed at anything on the nest in a long, long time.
