**Offical Olympic Medal Count thread**

Round is certainly a shape.

Lol...yes it is. Not quite there yet. I wouldn't want to be called on to swim 100 yards though. Can run about 2 miles if I pace myself. That pales in comparison to 15 years ago though. I got married and woke up one day and felt like a slob. Quit smoking a couple of months ago and will try to lose the gained weight this winter. Planning on a diet rich in wild game and fish. Would like to make my next 46 years at least as good as the first.

Buy a good rode bike. I woke up one day not to long ago and found out I could ride my bike 100 miles almost as well as I could when I was 32. :)

Uhhhmm if you want to lose weight I would suggest a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetable. :)

I have a lot of garden veggies put up for the year but I am picky and I refuse to eat something I do not like even if it were good for me. So no avocados, Brussels sprouts, non iceberg lettuce, eggplant, mushy squash, soybean anything, nasty store bought tomatoes, etc... I will lose eating wild game...done it before. Am putting in a fall garden as well with some spaghetti squash and butternut squash and some fall green beans. Helps two ways...working in the garden plus providing healthier stuff to eat into the early winter. I better stop hijacking this thread though, I like the medal updates each day. :)

Oh man. Those are all great vegies you listed. You just haven't had them prepared right!

Eggplant for example. My wife makes an asian dish called Kare-Kare that has eggplant in it which is to die for. It's made with beef braised in a peanutbutter sauce with an assortment of asian vegies (including eggplant). Then I have a recipe that's a spinoff of eggplant parmesian that's incredible. I slice the eggplant into rounds, salt it, then let is sit about 15 minutes than wash the salt off. I then dip the rounds in eggwash and then roll it in bread crumbs. I then take two rounds, at a tsp of pizza sause (homemade), a thin slice of turkey breast meat and a slice of provalone cheese. I place the rounds in a baking pan with olive oil and roast till brown on the bottom, then flip and brown the other side. Yum, yum!

I can make brussel sprouts that will knock your socks off. It doesn't have that sulfur taste at all. As for avacados....next time you go fishing take some of those super fresh fillets and make some ceveche with frech diced avacadoes, plum tomatos, sweet onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lots of lime juice with a little salt and pepper.

When it comes to many foods, if you don't like it...it's becuase it wasn't prepared well. I don't know how many people have told me they can't stand to eat liver and I've turned them onto it by just cooking it right.

LIVER AND ONIONS....yum...drool

But no one can possibly like boiled, mashed swede like we had for school dinners! The only way that could be prepared correctly would be to bin it the moment it entered the house.
 
**DAILY UPDATE**

#1. China. 18 gold, 11 silver, 4 bronze.
#2. America (FUCK YEAH!). 17 gold, 8 silver, 10 bronze.
#3. South Korea. 7 gold, 2 silver, 5 bronze.

What about Brit Ekland in her prime, that's one Swede you wouldn't mind how she came!
 
And I dont give a shit.
GB are doing OK. Quite respectable at the moment.

To add to that. HK schools don't really DO sport. There are a few basketball courts, but that hardly qualifies as a sport. I think only one school actually has enough grass for football and cricket and that is an ESF school. Anyway with the US on 37 medals with 300million population, GB should have about 9 in total and HK should have 0.86. Of course GB are doing a little better than that with 19. That makes us rather better than the US for all their shouting, whooping and hollering.Quite nice really.

Actually you've got your sums wrong, the actual ratio is around 5:1. At Beijing 2008, GB got 19 gold medals which means if population is taken into account we would be first in the world rankings by a long way.
