Olympic Trials
// June 15th, 2008 // Sup
Wow, Olympic Trials. Hmpf, might as well be a beer chugging contest. Everyone gets 3 beers and has less than 3 seconds to drink the first beer and the subsequent 2 have to drank in less than 6 seconds. Then each guy has to spin his head on a bat and then pin a tail on a moving donkey. Last but not least, here is where the bite comes into play, the rider has to ride two laps at a 17 second pace with an egg on a spoon.
This is a very plausible and scientific test to determine the mens to determine the mens Olympic Edurance Team.
Reasons for Utlilzing This Test:
1. Speed under pressure
2. Endurance thru the vertigo getting the tail onto the moving donkey
3. Bike Handling Skills: because who in the hell can hold an egg on a spoon after chugging 3 beers, spinning on a bat, pinning a tail on a moving donkey, and doing 2 laps at 17 second lap pace!?
ME THATS WHO!
Awe, okay, i’ll be a bit more serious.
3km flat stick. Fastest guy is an automatic selection for the games, and the second guy is nominated by coaches selection.
Bring it on!
4 guys going for 2 spots. All have raced and known one another for a long time. It will be interesting because it will be,
hard
fast
nervous
heartbreaking
dream making
dream shattering
exciting
etc
etc
etc.

Mike all we, and you of yourself, can ask for is that you give it your all. I totally agree with T that my dream team in Beijing includes both you and Brad. But I do wish you all the very best over the next two days. Lay it out there like you know you can. We are all so very proud of you and we love you no matter what. Now go give it hell!
Masterful in all you do.
Industriously, you pursue
Challenges that come along,
Happy to be sure and strong.
Admired by others everywhere,
Exceptional, beyond compare.
Life’s very best you’ll always share.

Hi Mike,
Congratulations! Have fun in China.
We will be cheering for you.
Your old science teacher, Mr. Wagner
Mike, what a shame of you, brain washed moron to wear a mask inside an international airport. Are you really that stupid to be so easily brain washed? Your only have a muscle like a monkey, but IQ? zero points!

I am proud of each of our Olympic athletes! Even if you weren’t making a political statement about one of the largest and (main contributing countries, to environmental pollution), with the media coverage of how bad the air pollution is over there—you were well within your right to protect yourselves!
I feel so sorry for the poor people of China! We have seen the disadvantaged people’s homes bulldozed, to accommodate the Chinese government’s presentation of a modern city, for the Olympics. We are hearing reports of water being taken from the Chinese farmers, to accommodate the Olympics. The disgrace is not, due to a few Olympians protecting themselves for polluted Chinese air; but those who are not being protected in their own country! In a country where human rights are violated—and the government is worried about a few face masks—PLEASE!
