Considering that we're a lot smaller than them, I'd say we've proven our worth. We've got a smaller pool of athletes compared to the others, but we're still in top three. Not that a bit more gold wouldn't be amiss, but you can cut our boys and girls some slack.

[notthebee2]

at lea2t they're not beiing total 2lacker2, but iit2 a biit 2tupiid two ho2t 2uch a huge a22 event wiith the mo2t riidiiculou2 openiing ceremony iive ever 2een ju2t two get walked all over.

[di_intraining]

We're third; I'd say we proved we're no pushover. We've got twice the number of gold medals than Russia in fourth place, and we've beaten Canada as well.

[notthebee2]

You mean the team that won the 2ynchroniized 2wiimmiing competition?
not 2urprii2ed there.
people iin canada are probably two bu2y getting worked up over bagged miilk and moo2e two actually care.

(Ooc: The text displayed in the journal is actually glittering, just because Sollux is tremendously bored.)

[di_intraining]

Look I'm not a fan of it either, but it takes just as much hard work and dedication to get a gold in it as any other sport.

[Greg's slightly annoyed by the glitter, but otherwise nonplussed.]

[selfhatred]

YOU MEAN PEOPLE ACTUALLY WATCH THAT SHIT?
COLOUR ME SURPRISED.

[notthebee2]

[selfhatred]

...OKAY THAT DEFINITELY SOUNDS FUCKING HILARIOUS.
SINCE WHEN DID A BUNCH OF WIMPS QUALIFY AS OLYMPIANS?
MY ONLY PROBLEM WOULD BE TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION LONG ENOUGH AND NOT FALLING ASLEEP IN MY POPCORN.

[notthebee2]

You do realise that the Olympics occur every four years.
Or rather, every two, because the summer and winter alternate.

[notthebee2]

[givesyouaboner]

It's kind of hard to ignore, especially when it's happening in your city.

[notthebee2]

[givesyouaboner]

Mostly I was talking about myself, but how can you not know in general.
Assuming you're from the UK too.

[notthebee2]

It's a mystery.

[notthebee2]

we miight a2well get a pet dog and call iit 2cooby vanta2.

[givesyouaboner]

It's not a mystery. It's always Mr. Jones, and he would've gotten away with it were it not for our inquisitive minds.

[notthebee2]

[bubblingover]

really Sollux?
It more sounds like you really just don't enjoy w)(at the muggles enjoy!!
you just )(ate everyt)(ing!
Is t)(ere anyt)(ing you do actually care about?
maybe just stop watc)(ing it t)(en if it's t)(at bad!!

[arrogantalloy]

From what I've been watching, the Olympics have been kinda fun to watch. I've seen a lot of competition from where I've been sitting.

But that could just be because America's at the head of the tally.

[nunganunga_k_o]

I think your problem is expecting anything to top her Maj talking to James Bond. And who wants to beat the Hamburger-a-gogo types, they ride bucking broncos regularly.
