2012 Summer Olympics

Iron Man 3 is being produced by a Chinese company and he also filmed there for the film. Not sure how to interpret that tweet…

Maybe he was drunk, haha.

Damn I swear I edited that post 1 minute after I initially posted…

Anyhow, I checked and that’s not Downey’s Twitter account - it’s some kind of parody account (even says in the account description). Dude isn’t even on Twitter - I’m thinking it should already be assumed seeing how he’s a cool guy and all (yes, I just insinuated cool guys/chicks aren’t on Twitter).


Thank god Matthias Steiner got away unscathed when he collapsed under the 196kg BB. This would have broken a lesser mans neck. Reminds me of the Rippetoe quote:

“Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and more useful in general”

Then again ‘normal’ people don’t lift 430lbs overhead…

I give this a perfect 10!

I cannot believe that he was able to stand up after that. My husband and I watched that three times in utter disbelief.

Ouch!

For his next attempt he should cannonball the judges… I would just laugh my ass off if somebody did that…

I watched it happen with my wife. She was horrified when she saw it, and asked if something like that could happen to me. I told her I can’t lift as much weight as Steiner, so there’s no danger…

I believe you. My body wanted to hurl itself into fetal position.

lol Don’t sell yourself short there. I’m sure you lift plenty.

I fucking love the Olympics!

I’m going to be so sad when they’re over.

I’ve been glued to my tv and refreshing stats, odds and result pages all day, streaming as many feeds as I can handle and I’m going to have to go back to work and get a life again.

Now that the weightlifting is over I don’t have to get up at ridiculous hours at least :slight_smile:

I slept in for the B groups. 4:30am wake-up? Puh-lease.

no love for US Women’s soccer? Great game, Hope Solo saved the US big time

I don’t really want to add to what I see as excessive sexualization of female Olympic athletes in this thread but I just want to say that I would tap Carmelita Jeter’s ass any day.

Carry on.

I liked everything about her except her hair. ew

Welp, these Olympics were great! I really enjoyed them. And to the Chinese I’d like to express this very mature sentiment:
Dear China:
Na Na Na Na BOO BOO! We kicked your ASS! LOL!
You commie, kid stealing, genocide having, girl hating, socialist pig, Syrian supporting,war mongering, cheap toy making, Human rights violating, dog eating, Tibet murdering, cock sucking bastards!
We beat yall’s ass and we didn’t have to take our athletes from their families at a young age and raise them in stupid camps with heartless government pigs as over seers. You can suck my large, white, family loving, girl loving, liberty having, freedom loving, dick…

Now go make me a plastic toy that isn’t a total piece of shit for a change. You may be good at math, but you cannot make a quality product to save your tiny, rice-dicks.
Regards,
pat
