To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.

The chip on my shoulder is cramping my style. Oh and the whole having fun at the Olympic Stadium too. I have such a horrible life. Originally Posted by milanessa

So anyway who is leading the medal table at the moment? I haven't had time to check.To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.

China is leading in golds and medals! So you're off the hook, you can rest.

oops I'm behind. USA leads in golds and medals. Fred can rest but not so peacefully.
ETA: Better yet, but Really's method, China is still ahead. I actually like the cumulative method the best of those displayed so far.Last edited by BlueRidge; 08-03-2012 at 08:48 PM.

OMG, I'm so incompetent, I had North Carolina on my list but neglected to type it in. I had NC tied with FL & MI at the 8th spot on the list with 4 points (dog only knows how I got that
)

nice to know about the flags and national anthems too, and other facts. I didn't know Luxemburg had a 900 man army!
(though they totally neglected the myth, I mean fact, of the origin of the Danish flag!)
