NBC Day 6: Moms, Seacrest, and a Pool. Maybe a sport, if there's time.

WOW! That guy didn't breathe the whole time. Is that a usual occurrence?

But he needs to keep those jaunty little shorts. I'm rather fetishing over them. So, by your count, we've missed...one rotation on a swimming heat, talking, about Phelps, talking about Lochte, and showing Costas' strange unmoving face?

The vast improvement in commentating for both sport's National Championships, World Championships, Olympic Trials (for gymnastics), and the Summer and Winter Olympics would be so incredible I can't find the words to describe it

As far as tonight's watching, I'm all set - a kickass toasted sub, baked potato chips, dill gherkins, a comfy chair, my computer, and FSU to snark with and read

I also have the art projects I've been working on while watching the online streams during the day -- that way I feel like I'm being somewhat productive and can justify parking my butt in front of the monitor for hours on end

at one of the female rowers singing the wrong words to her own national anthem.

"We're all Mary's body." I'm sure that sounded better in her head.

I know everyone gets tired of the Lochte/Phelps thing but they are my two favorite swimmers and they've really lead me to become such big swimming fan. It's weird, and I didn't realize it until last night, but if Michael really retires (and I do believe he will), this will be the last time he and Ryan ever swim against each other.

I kinda love how so many of those Brazilians are known by one name.

**Theatregirl1122** · 08-03-2012, 01:41 AM

He's from BYU? I Bet he's not enjoying the athletes village like some others...

I haven't seen much real volleyball this year. I really like it so I'm glad.

**DaveRocks** · 08-03-2012, 01:41 AM

Suxho?

**Citlali** · 08-03-2012, 01:42 AM

Voley!

today they are really showing different sports

**Matryeshka** · 08-03-2012, 01:43 AM

OMG. BRAZILLIANS. An entire team of greater gays!

They're obviously lesser gays, Matry! There are only 3 out gay men at the Olympics!

Their Brazilianess makes them greater by default. Duh.

My first thought was should he be with Tancock or Destiny Hooker? I mean, he's a volleyball player, so better chance of actual meeting. But how do you pass up Tancock-Suxho?

I'm happy for this new pairing, whatever it will be, but a little bit

for little Randy Tancock-Hooker who will now either be Randy Tancock-Suxho or Randy Hooker-Suxho, but all good things must end. :insert Rumi:

There are too many people on the court and they're hitting the ball too fast.

Oh. I didn't realize that. I thought the lesson was just that all Brazilians are gay. Especially if they are attractive.

Perhaps they could be in a poly relationship?

**DaveRocks** · 08-03-2012, 01:56 AM

I like all the butt patting.

You can see volleyball is a straight, manly sort of sport. Unlike figure skating.

ETA: I think we're trying to see how many other threads we can reference at this point
