UPDATE 15/8

* Chinese officials have admitted the young girl in the opening
ceremony was lip-synching to another girl singing.
Apparently the girl singing was not the image China wanted to portray,
her face was a bit chubby and her teeth were not straight.
Also banned from singing... this chick -

* The australian women's hockey team continues to win on their way to the finals,
with an impressive 3 - 0 win over a feisty South Africa.
not really important... just thought i'd mention it coz it's a whole team full of hot chicks!!!

* in un-related news, a sleaze crackdown at this year's Gold Coast Indy
has been ordered by QLD Premier Anna Bligh, who warned
revellers they will face arrest if they cross the line.
FOR SALE - 1 gold coast indy ticket - contact Gav

UPDATE 15/8 P.M.

* Australian swimmer Leisel Jones has collapsed near the pool after being
dramatically beaten for the gold medal in the 200m breaststroke,
later saying she couldn't breathe because she swam so hard.
pffft... like that's an excuse for not winning gold?!?

* Warren Potent has won australia's first shooting medal at Beijing
with a bronze in the 50m rifle prone.
If he's that good a shooter why didn't he just shoot the 2 guys that beat him?

* in un-related news, a terrorism book at the center of major
trial in Sydney lists "cake throwing" as a killing technique.
instead of icing, an adhesive substance would be used to suffocate the victim.
the book also recommends using THIS as a getaway car -

it's coz the guys suck... Eamon Sullivan holds the world record in the 50m freestyle,
and he finished SIXTH... choke!!!!
and grant hackett has already started spreading rumours that he's sick,
so that he's got an excuse for not winning anything.

it also doesn't help that Michael Phelps (USA) is winning everything,
he's now up to his seventh gold medal of the Beijing olympics,
which makes him equal record holder... 1 more and he breaks it.

we should do alright in the indoor cycling though,
i reckon we'll pick up 2 or 3 there.

* In un-related news, fans of Harry Potter are furious over news that Warner Bros

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

UPDATE 18/8 -

* Thank christ all the swimming events are finally over!!!

* Grant Hackett... James Tomkins... Tamsyn Lewis...
the long list of aussie losers just keeps gettin longer

* Jackpot... just found out FHM did a photo shoot with Stephanie Rice -
http://classic.fhm.com.au/PhotoGallery/ ... aspx?id=74
she kinda looks like one of the Veronica's...
here's hoping we end up seeing some similar photo's!!! :twisted:

* Rumours are circling through the television industry
that Channel 7 network officials have instructed Sonia Kruger
to "play dumb" on the olympic morning show Yum Cha.
I'm guessing these are the same officials that told Grant Denyer to act like a stuck-up midget,
Todd McKenney to act like a raging homo,
and Daryl Somers to act like an arrogant talentless flog!!!

* It's time to pack your bags and tell your story walking,
as we've hit our first 2 eliminations of the tipping comp.

vipfto, the kiwi & soon-to-be adelaidian has said his goodbyes from the
tipping contest at the same time as your old pal silverfish.

thanks for playing, and as a concellation prize here's a copy of the
"FTO AUS Aussie Gold Tipping Comp" Board Game

Image

* today australia won gold in Sailing Men's 470s, Sailing Women's 470s & the women's triathalon.
I'm pretty sure '470' stands for the number of minutes you'll be b0red watching it

* In un-related news, former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mamdouh Habib
has been fined for swearing and offensive behaviour at a McDonald's restaurant.
Habib was fined $200 and staff at the Bankstown fast-food outlet
have been warned to keep an eye out for low-flying planes.
