My updated predictions for this Olympics is an over/under for terrorist attacks at 3, deaths at an over/under of 25, and Russia is made a laughingstock of the entire world. Even China laughs.

What about deaths from Russian police opening fire and/or gassing crowds to contain the terrorist attack?

"Don't drive off with the gas pump still in your tank (ie attached to your car)"

Russian has angry and violent words for every normal, non violent thing.

That makes way more sense. I thought it was another warning sign in the bathroom, like that was a euphemism for a hanging turd.

I hope tonight Bob Costas has pink eye in his other eye too.

And every night for the next two weeks, he gets an infection somewhere else and just gets progressively more red and swollen.

Bob Costas apparently used the indeterminate amount of semen sheets and then washed his face with the yellow tap water.

Simple mistake comrade! This happen all the time. Best medicine is pour Wodka in eye and let dog lick tears away!

Maybe this is for the fluff piece they're working on for the retrospective at the end on the Olympics.

On Thursday when he first had to explain the eye thing, he mentioned the "NBC doctors" so I'm guessing they brought their own medical team.

And they probably know Costas and there for have given him the best medicine available.

I'll admit that I don't know anything about Rio beyond that it's in Brazil and they did a Fast and the Furious movie there and they have a giant stone Jesus doing the "safe" motion. What's so terrible about it that it will be worse than Sochi?

If 'An Idiot Abroad' is to be trusted, it's crowded, loud, you'll be forced to sleep in the bedroom-closet of a drag queen because 'that's the tradition', and when you finally run away to a nice quiet beach to watch the sunrise in peace, you'll get continuously mooned by the concessions guy who's literally only wearing a polo shirt as he gets his concessions stand set up.
