Is there a point to the strange, somewhat childish grammar in the captions? I'm not objecting, just wondering if it has a purpose/context/origin that I've missed?
Anon @ 10:40pm... it's all tongue-in-cheek. Google 'I can haz cheezeburgers', 'LOLcats' or 'Failblog' and you'll get an impression of the style Mez is going for here.
Vic Trial 2 is on Saturday too, and 1/2 our 2008 Olympic team are competing. Pretty amazing when you think about it. 5/6 are still competing 2 years on, and Olivia is still competing overseas. After Athens Monette was the only survivor, and even she only lasted 1 year. It's great to see them stick around.
NBC are broadcasting a 90 minute special of Pac Rim highlights at 1.30 US Eastern Time on 22 May. http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/pages/post.html?PostID=5490&prog=a Will we be able to see this online does anyone know?
I can tell you that there is NO footage of the Russians, and VERY limited footage of the Canadians on the NBC footage. They covered the USA and China comprehensivley, and a fair bit of the Australians .... basically because they were forced to if they wanted any footage at all. Hope it turns out OK
Oh how I have missed lolgymnasts!

ReplyDeleteThat's a very positive outlook, Anon 2:02!
