NBC has shown an inability to figure out weekend and federal holiday already - I don't hold much hope for them. And some of the live broadcasts on MSNBC have been more to my interest anyway.

No. Seinfeld smell was BO. This was more like a putrefying small animal.

I will be doing this on both SNA runs just in case.

I took it off when I got home, trying to pretend to be sober for the missus. I failed at the latter pretty badly though I am now drinking copious amounts of water in an attempt to sleep reasonably well tonight.

With all that beer and water, do you plan on sleeping in the bathroom? :D

Dear NBC:

If there are five guys on the starting line you should probably show five photos and names on the screen, not only four.

You suck.

Sincerely,
sbm12.

Lots of water fitting in after all that brew?

I am just finishing off a bottle of Clos de Vougeot LaMarche '06. It almost smelled funky when I opened it and had a raw taste you do not look for in a good Burgundy. But, wonders never cease and now, an hour later, it has smoothed out into at least what I was hoping for when I opened it.

I too will have a few glasses of water before the evening is over but I, as contrasted to sbm12, will have a place to put them without stuffing myself.

You're not the only person that bothered. MSNBC is doing a reasonable "post-game / pre-game" for Men's Hockey at the moment.

I know that smell. I know it well.:rolleyes:

Allow me to show you the mouse that met his demise in my air cleaner. Only it took me weeks to find him.:rolleyes: The second picture is pretty much freeze dried mouse.

??? MSNBC has Tiger Woods, True Hollywood stories type thing here and no Olympic stuff what so ever for me. CNBC just started up again with men's curling. UK vs. Canada.

I need to refresh myself on what to do in case of bumps on Monday since I have another ticket on Tuesday. I would love to score one either on the way home with the fiancee or on the two runs.

I did "last channel" - really had been MSNBC for Hockey. Can't make myself watch curling with short-track semis coming up in the half hour.

I believe NBC is going to go live at the Olympics shortly (for 1,000 short track). Well, the quarters are recorded but the semis start at 10:28 Eastern.

Yes, can't wait!!^ Go Apolo Ohno!:-:

Thinking about an MR to burn off my e500s on UA before UDU begins. Still have 10 in my account.

In true UA fashion what they should do is take the instruments away and issue a fixed amount of miles as a token payoff for each one. That way the compensation whiners actually do get something.
