Will is....wait, right?

Posted by musubi Feb 18 '10, 10:22

X-country is like marathoning. They are spectacular athletes, but it's just not a spectator sport. It makes curling look action packed.

Responses:

It's meditative to watch. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 10:30 2
- Fair enough. It's not entertaining though. (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 10:35 1
  - maybe if Michael Bay directed it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:37
Oh come on, curling has *brushing*!!!! - Subversive Feb 18, 10:27 7
- I'm saying, the participants never move more than what 30 yards (meters for you canucks) and it's still more action packed than X-country. - musubi Feb 18, 10:29 6
  - You clearly haven't watched a minute of XC. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:30 5
    - Tragically, I have. I've also watched marathons. They are comparably bad spectator sports. - musubi Feb 18, 10:32 4
      - sort of like baseball!....nm - x Feb 18, 10:37 1
        
        Better than small men riding on horses in an oval. - musubi Feb 18, 10:45
      - You suck. I totally don't have your back in any topic today. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:35 1
        
        Wrong, I am awesome. You should be thrilled with me. - musubi Feb 18, 10:38

another topic, your heater being out on "the coldest day of the year", what was it? 66 degrees? -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 10:24 6
- 34 degrees overnight, mister sassy pants. There was *ice* on my windshield! ICE! (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 10:26 1
  - I had ice on my headlight after driving for a half hour last year. I doubt that had happened in the past 10 years. -- nm - David Feb 18, 10:27
- don't forget the frost on his windshield. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:25 3
  - See, loosi gets it. (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 10:26
  - omg, poor guy - he probably didn't even have a scraper -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 10:26 1
    - Guess he had to wait the extra 30 seconds for the Cali sun to melt it away. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 18, 10:50
"See, it's sort of like a marathon, but they run in the snow with planks on their feet. It's *thrilling*." - TFox Feb 18, 10:23 8
- even so, you have to admit that at least the last km and final lap into the stadium is mucho fun -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 10:25 6
  - plus, isn't it nice to have forest shots now and then? The Olympics shouldn't all be in a damn rink. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:27 5
    - It should exist. It's a legit sport. Just don't make me watch it on tv for more than 10-15 minutes. -- nm - TFox Feb 18, 10:27 4
      - And who is this Hitler making you watch it? -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:00
      - Right.....those guys go the limits of human endurance...but often...it's not thrilling at the end - Will Hunting Feb 18, 10:29 1
        
        I'll grant you that for sure. In terms of thrills it can't touch the speed and acrobatic events. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:31
      - hey, I said a bunch of times already, I'm cool with highlights. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:28
- oh come on, I'm sure they do faster in freestyle. Besides, they don't have to show the whole races. Highlights are fine. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:24
oh come on, there are sprints! -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:23
