I think they should stop with the practice of having different host cities every 4 years.  Too much waste in building all the venues that aren't used very often.  There should be a permanent host city.  Athens or somewhere in Greece.  Or somewhere in Switzerland for the summer games.  Then another place for the winter sports.

I didn't know derspiess was rich enough to have a kid in the winter Olympics.

My rich uncle is paying for his curling training.

I'm sure he'll make a fine stylist.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think it would cost a fortune to restore Athens to its 2004 state at this point.

Speaking of which, when are the Olympics going to be back in a normal country?

2020 will be Tokyo, 2024 will be either LA or Paris.

If it is in LA I hope we can get everybody to boycott again so we can win everything like last time.

If it isn't in LA, hopefully a place like Moscow makes a late push. Otherwise, if Trump is still president, we might not win anything as we could be boycotting like in 1980.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

My little brother is taking a vacation to San Francisco.  Hope he's having fun.
