I'm going to try to get Jael in here, to see the unbelieveable(the cease-fire).

Jael

[size=20]GRUNDY, HOW DARE YOU!![/size]

Jeysie

Considering that the "rivalry" was pretty one-sided anyway (i.e., Grundy being rivalrous, and the rest of us wondering which side of the bed he got up on), I'd say it's a fair deal. ;-D

Peace & Luv, Liz

Jael

Nah, I think it's an Aussie thing. So many of us are bent on proving we can do something a) better than the USA or b) without American approval or sanctioning ;P

In which case, there shall be no peace between us, no compromise!! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!

Jeysie

I dunno... running around trying to rival with unrivalrous people still sounds kind of silly. But if it makes you happy... ;)

Peace & Luv, Liz

Sounds familiar.

What happened to the trivia?
???

Where'd all my posts go? There was no profanity in them!  :'(

Or are you just making a new topic, 'Olympic Trivia?'  :-\


BTW: No one has got the right answer yet.  To the question that has strangely dissapered. lol
Where'd it go?  :P
2nd EDIT: It a page or two back.. still there, but about 5 posts have gone...  :'(
( I've even been working hard on the 3D stuff today aswell!  :P )

Jeysie

Um. Grundy, I don't know what you're smoking, but Ian Thorpe's shoe size and the query about the smallest team are still there. If there are any posts missing, they must have been made after 3AM EST, because I don't notice anything that looks out of place.

Anyhoo. I guess it's not Saint Lucia then?

Peace & Luv, Liz

See... that's what I mean, I made about 3 or 4 posts after that time, but they've all gone and a couple from some other threads, but those I can understand... lol...
Anyway, not St Lucia.

This is a hard one hey?!   ;)  Especially when the information we are getting is conflicting.

Oh well, time for a hint.


The name of the country with the smallest team in Athens, according to the Official Olympics website, starts with the letter M.

:D



EDIT PS: I'm going to bed now, so I wont be around to give out any prizes for atleast 8 hours.  Night all!  :)

I remember that several countries only have one athlete there...of course, I don't remember who they were!

Jeysie, I agree about Ian Thorpe.  And of course, I haven't seen a single guy from the Netherlands who isn't hard to look at :P  Then, there was some young British guy who was swimming...looked good too :P  Oh my gosh, I'm so pitiful!

Yes, let's get back to talking about cute guys at the Olympics! XD

Did they even show the Russian men competing? I missed the first couple days of competition. Aleksei Nemov is very fun to watch!

And the Hamm twins are cute, but oh, their voices! When they interviewed Paul, I turned to Harrison and said "Eek! It's like listening to the male version of Kerri Strug!"

Peace & Luv, Liz

koko_99_2001

I haven't heard them interviewed, so I wouldn't know.  Paul is just amazing, though.  Mom and I still can't get over his flares on the Pommel Horse.  One of the Japanese guys did some too, but his weren't nearly as fast or as "flare-y" :P

Quote from: koko_99_2001 on August 16, 2004, 03:58:27 PMDid ya'll know that between 81-89 (don't remember the exact number) of the 202(?) countries competing have NEVER won a single medal.

YAY us!! :P

Ok, truth is they did get a couple of bronzes and even a silver medal on previous olympiads, but that doesn't count :P

I'm sorta watching our girl competing in table tennis right now... she doesn't have a chance against the chinese girls though. Heck, they've got more tennis players in their country than we have people in ours ;P
