drummers are drumming at 120 beats per minute to keep the athletes moving. looks like it's working. Scheduled to take 90mins max apparently.

Beijing took 180.

Is that a parody account or is that real? If it is real.. what on earth?

 

[Noaloha]

I'm finding this oddly upsetting in places. I mean, I try to stay dutifully aware of human suffering in other nations, but when you see them in such a celebratory setting it just kind of amplifies the fucked-upped-ness in a certain way. And it shouldn't. I'm questioning myself.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Stop taking about Fear Her.

:/

 

[Solo]

this. what's the name?

When the first nation came out?

They could show the culture, showing a single story line and everything.

You didn't pay attention?

It was about life in England.

[Nilaul]

You didn't pay attention?

It was about life in England.

Easy.

Life all over the world also I still think they could had gotten a better thing going. It was still an entertaining show.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Okaay, there we go. I'm part of Team Bhutan. I bet they'd kick even more arse if the event used PROPER bows in archery comps.

 

[Brazil]

 

[Delusibeta]

Perfect excuse to skip to the live, having previously been a few minutes behind. Jumping from Angola to Bosnia suggests I haven't missed much.

Oh man beach volleyball is going to be awesome with those Brazillian girls.
