Do the Olympics stimulate hobby activity?

[ANONONE]

So. . .I am an Olympic Junkie. . .I was even watching some figure skating and found myself oddly aroused. Does anyone else plan on looking for Providers offering Olympic session these next two weeks?

[Mokoa]

I imagine it does.

This isn't the first year...been there for many Olympic years before this one. Although summer Olympics are OK, the Winter ones really turn me on.

Watching Hannah get her gold medal right now. So are they still made of gold? I actually got to wear one (Dot Richardson's) once and it was heavy, but I am not sure if they are made of gold. Does anyone know?

The female gymnasts did it for me during the summer olympics (the ones of age obviously. Like Alicia Sacramone, and Nastia Liukin)

Why not get excited about the female figure skaters. That is some hot shit.

Didn't know it had started. I won't watch much of anything because they chop the events all up and you can't watch just what you want to watch. Alpine skiing would be all I would watch in any event, especially the downhill. Maybe a bit of bobsled. But they'll show fifteen minutes of skiing and then an hour of some other shit nobody wants to watch. Very inefficient and highly annoying. So I don't watch any of it.

NBC coverage is not too bad, and the streaming video is excellent for the first time ever. Watched the Women Game today on the internet and streamed it to my HDTV and it was awesome!

Go here to figure out how to do it and you can watch whatever you want: http://www.nbcolympics.com/

I think they run the competitions in toto in the early morning hours. If you're not up, just set the DVR.

Don't have a DVR and don't really want one. I watch as little TV as possible. About thirty minutes to an hour a month other than basketball. It would just be an excuse to watch more. There's really not much worth seeing.
