The Olympic Torch Just Passed My House - General

If I were to ever design the Olympic torch I'd make it a fucking piece of wood with an oily rag wrapped around the top. Like it fucking should be.

Shoulda thrown water balloons at em.

They once brought a spare olympic torch to my school. It's got a little gas cylinder inside it n stuff. Was cool.

[QUOTE=OzzyOsbourne;18461524]when I saw this I was like: "that's a torch?" cool looking and everything, I hate to admit but... [img]http://thekatebradley.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/vancouvertorch.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] +2 Butter Knife of Flames

argh, the other thing that pissed me off about it was the fact that my town is labeled as "historical" and a bunch of old people dressed like it was seventeen seventy-fuckin'-six the whole time. one person actually claimed that it WAS 1776 and he didn't know why we were hosting a ceremony for the "2010" olympics because that's not for another couple hundred years.

dude the olympic torch just passed my house too! D:

The Olympics is like the only event where countries can all come together and not yell or blow each other up. The World Cup too.

People yell at each other and blow each other up at the World Cup all the time. :v: Also, am I the only one who thinks the torch-lighting ceremony is weird?

What they really have to do is just light the damn cauldron and have 2 people take oaths.

[QUOTE=OzzyOsbourne;18461241]I can hardly contain my excitement. [img]http://imboredatwork.org/boredbaby.jpg[/img] anyone ELSE except me hate the olympics? edit: that baby is fucking FAT[/QUOTE] You're a pretty ignorant person. I mean the Olympics started way back when, and brings the nations of the world together, even in times of war. FUCKING IGNORANT!

[QUOTE=Zeke129;18461371]I would have tried to get it with the hose[/QUOTE] Stand on a rooftop as it passes below and piss it out. :smug:

Eh, I lost all respect for the Olympics when they held them in China, the worst place in the world in terms of human rights, outside of Africa.

Yea look at all the torches! [url]http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/08/01/sports/20080802_TORCH_GRAPHIC.html?hp[/url]

They should put in vijimma games like counter-strike to make normal people bored to death and op happy.

torch kinda looks like a joint

I hate the new pseudo-futuristic sports designs. I mean look at this [img]http://www.chrisd.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2010-winter-olympic-medals2.jpg[/img]

The torch was in our town, Infact my classmate paid 250 dollars to run and keep it apparently. He's a Micmaq (first nations' here) so it was weird seeing him walking it.

[QUOTE=OzzyOsbourne;18461336]got it .Cheezy.! I hate them because everyone makes such a big deal about them. every goddamn year people are saying: "IN 2 YEARS THIS PLACE WILL HAVE THE OLYMPICS OMG I'M SO HORNY FOR THEM" like seriously, TWILIGHT FANS don't get this wet after a movie is announced for them.[/QUOTE] No kidding. Hey you wanna go stand out in the cold and watch some foreign guy run past us with a flame and scream about it?

I like the Olympics when USA is doing good, but I really never watch anything else but the marathon and swimming.

Passed by mine a few weeks ago ME: [IMG]http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad49/DeathByMeteor/garfield_1.gif[/IMG]

As well, they aren't dressing like it's 1776, because that year is fucking irrelevant to L'Acadie/Nova Scotia

I just find it weird that people NEED to dress up every chance they get.

They do it because our town is historical retard. :smug::hf::smug:

Excuse my lack of sports knowledge, but it's 2009... why is the torch on the move 3 years before the event?

should have sprayed it with a hose

[QUOTE=Trogdon;18461272]You should have gotten off of your lazy ass and sabotaged it. If you truly hate it as you say.[/QUOTE] Because of course they let the Olympic Torch go by without any security, or anything.
