Spoiler Alert. Women's all around
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 12:29 AM by RGBolen
Back to back gold for Collin County, Texas



Parker gymnast Nastia Liukin won the gold medal in the women's gymnastics all-around competition on Thursday night. Her U.S. teammate, Shawn Johnson, took the silver medal.

Liukin's victory helped ease the sting of the U.S. performance in the team competition.

3. And people on the west coast haven't seen it yet
It won't be broadcast there for another 2 1/2 hours. And you cannot tell me you didn't know that.

I used to think you were just one of the most clueless people I'd ever seen here. I am reevaluating. You do this crap intentionally.

7. Real Americans live in the East
Just kidding.

But someone actually said that to me once about 20 years ago.

5. A dick move
Due to the hour, I would suspect a lot of people have DVR/TiVo'd it. I watched it live, so it doesn't affect me, but show a LITTLE restraint. You didn't HAVE to put that right in the title. Just a dick move.

6. Exactly so
There is no point whatsoever in putting it in the thread title, and every reason not to. Some people just have a difficult time empathizing with other people.

8. I'm on the West Coast too, but I'm going to give you the benefit
of the doubt and assume you are extra proud and happy they won. Good for the Collin County Texas girls. Now don't do it again. LOL

10. Then you have every right to be proud. I forgive you. Actually, it
happens to us on the West Coast all the time so we should be used to it.
