G'night y'all, day 3 awaits us!

I know that some swimmers will do anything to get the gold, but rape everyone else in the pool? Isn't that a little extreme and, oh I don't know, "out there"?

Edit: Pang beat me to it, but this works as a double-post to emphasise the apparent stupidity~

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What I find most amusing is that despite there being a Canadian swimmer in the race and having a Canadian flag next to their name, Kimchi was going for Michael Phelps. Ocotpus Demon worshiper or what? I will admit the number of Octopus Demon worshipers has increased dramatically ever since



...but Ultros never raped anyone, what the hell is wrong with you Kimchi.

Requesting octopus rape flag to put next to people's names~

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't worry, your contempt isn't completely baseless. After all, he is a malevolent-rapist-octopus-demon that just happens to DEFY GRAVITY!!!

Spoiler:

watch as he reaches under the water to catch his next, unsuspecting victim...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

...are great!

Yeah, I've really got no confidence in the Australian men swimming team. Good on Sullivan for getting silver though, that was a grade-A effort. But the women, they're all fantastic and have got the passion and firepower that the men seem to lack. I'm getting a bit sick of the media's overexposure of Stephanie Rice though, I mean I admire her and she's a phenomenal athlete, but the media are milking the situation for everything it's worth. I mean "Heart of a Lion. Face of an Angel." What the hell is that shit? =.="

The freestyle relay before was great, Australia held a comfortable lead the whole way through. Can't wait for the medley relay!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

WATCH OUT DENI, PHELPS HAS RAGE!

Spoiler:

Purpose of this post: to remain strictly on-topic.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Bah, oh well. The Aussies did ok. Our butterflier (who I've never heard of) stayed with Phelps for a good while. Well done, team!

And well done to the Australian women swimmers! They won their medley relay in a pretty awesome race. Shame Grant Hackett lost, but Tunisia got the gold so no biggie~

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

=O Cool, I guess SimCity 4 music would fit in that sort of scene.

Yeah, good on him for getting the gold and all, but the best reaction of the Olympics was by far Sally McLellan winning silver in the 100m hurdles. (Seriously, best interview ever )

Most amazing jew boots

Yes, though the lack of gigantic walking crumpets greatly disturbed me. =/
