RWBooneJr Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have long heard that the conditions on the surface of Mars largely resemble the biblical conception of hell. This picture confirms that they more closely resemble my concept of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPW Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 USA-Canada was the best soccer match that I have seen in a long time. My crush on Megan Rapinoe continues to grow (yes, I know). Do yourselves a favor and catch a replay. I'm going to watch it a few more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 This is a great article on how the olympic athlete has evolved over the decades (requires a good 30 minutes, but well worth it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I feel kind of guilty that I have not watched any Olympic coverage this year,(my neighbor actually called last night & said her power went out, & wanted to come down here & watch it), I appreciate the dedication that the athletes have, the sacrifices that their families have made, I'd love it if one of my kids were an Olympic athlete, but since they're not, I'll just watch the closing ceremonies, & celebrate the athletes' achievement....

thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Watching Pet Shop Boys & Stomp...kind of old school...my DD loved One Direction, & I only got the heads-up from both my MIL & my husband, who know of Lizzy's devotion to OD, now we're waiting for Paul McCartney, & the Who?

thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Even funnier, I didn't picture Fat Boy Slim to be a skinny white guy, in an octopus, & then Dynomite, , by Taio Cruz...& 'You should dancing'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The worst part is, most of this stuff is from my era, along time ago, I keep telling my kids, 'Beatles, the Who (even if it was a skinny kid), I don't recognize the spice girls, & at least Oasis is only about 5 years old-why are they using such dated stuff?

thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 & I take it back, if you want to use Queen, all bets are off, "We will rock you", -a bit dated, but a crowd pleaser.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 My running commentary, guys in glowing green hats' dancing, then you have 'Miss olympics', then lots of cardboard construction paper, & a guy dressed in light bulbs, & Pele at the end....
