I assume you're talking about the disqualification?

Yes, maam.

I am still watching the broadcast here. Bobsled is on. Didn't bother to look for it on the net.

Love the USA bobsled team's verson of the Humpty Dance!

I had to check online to see how Apolo did before his two races happened on TV here....so bummed he didn't win a gold at Vancouver.

BWG disqualification? I am pissed also!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 12:43am

Oh, I haven't checked either. I just figure it doesn't take long for things to show up.

The Bobsleds were crashing like crazy today. A couple this afternoon, and a couple tonight. Scary!

Blame Canada! Blame Canada!
With all their hockey hullabaloo
And that bitch Ann Murray, too!
Blame Canada! Shame on Canada!
They're not even a real country anyway!

"Even if they win 10 Gold Medals
Which is why we're really nettled"

Skating Exhibition this afternoon. One of my favorite parts of the Olympics. Looking forward to it!

Is the cry baby Pleshenko skipping it?

I thought the skating exhibitions were this evening. That's what the schedule is showing.

I am watching, and enjoying, snowbording, and watched some of the bronze medal round of curling.

I'm bummed that Apolo got disqualified last night. Fortunately, he's done well in three Olympics though.

I never got to comment on the ladies figure skating from Thursday because I had no internet that day. I'm actually pleased with the results of that. I'm not sorry that Rachael Flatt came in 7th. I thought some of her choreography was not great, like taking small pauses in between some elements. It just didn't look right, in my opinion. I noticed some of the earlier girls doing similar as well. I don't recall seeing anyone doing that ever before this year. Maybe I'm just too picky.

Loved the CostasFallon bit at the end of prime time last night. Thank You notes is one of my favorite Fallon bits. And Mary Carillo talking to the moose at the end of late night was amusing. I wonder if the really are taking the moose back to 30 Rock like she said?

Did I miss the skating exhibition?? I just turned the TV on (and they're showing a Tom Brokaw special about Gander, Canada following 9/11/01, which I'm enjoying). But, I HOPE I didn't miss the exhibition. That's always one of my favorite things to watch!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 5:46pm

Nevermind - they just aired a promo for the evening and the skating exhibition is tonight!

[uncageg]

Watching the piece they are doing on Gander, Newfoundland where all of those planes landed on 9/11. I'm in tears.

Yay! I thought I had missed it too!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 6:51pm

Sorry! The schedule I was looking at earlier was in Vancouver time, and I didn't realize it.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 7:18pm

oops.

At least I'll be able to enjoy my Chinese food while the skating is on (my figure skating tradition). Couldn't do that during the week because I wasn't about to eat dinner at 11PM when the top skater's were skating!!

Did anybody see that snowboarder do the face plant within the starting gate? I'm still LOL.

We were told every given moment about Lindsey Vonn's shins but only now is NBC telling us that bobsled pilot Steve Holcomb was once blind?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 10:42pm

Strummergirl, that's because NBC had crowned Lindsey the star of these games before they even started! As a result, I can't stand her.

[uncageg]

Posted: 2/27/10 at 10:48pm

Felt bad for the snowboarder. Didn't really find it funny.

I wasn't impressed with the Vonn interview. He seemed to ask all of the other athletes about being on their "teams" and about any controversies. He just kissed up to her and then announced she gets to be on a television show. I am officially over Lindsay Vonn. Again!

I am missing some things because my friends and family are all calling to see how I am doing.

Did they not show all the skating medalists, or did I fall asleep on the couch and miss their programs?!
