Men's gymnastics all-around final

Holy shit.  That was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

I want to be in the middle of a Hamm sandwich.

Oh, you might want a cut tag. Don't think that the West Coast has seen it yet.

But hell yeah it was amazing.

Well, I didn't actually spoil anything. I mean, I want to be in a Hamm sandwich regardless. Mmm. :D

Hammm sandwich HAAAAAAA!!!

I thought it was great too. But I missed part of it, when he fell off the vault. Do you know what his score was?

So did he just wipe out totally and fall on his ass? That's how they made it sound. But they were makeing such a fuss of the tiniest things I can't really tell

He fell, on his ass, then off the raised platform they have all the gymnasts on, and one of the judges caught him.

It was that bad.

Ohhh yes. It was like...he just went totally sideways. Did his ass even touch the ground before he fell on the judges? I was shocked that he even got close enough for any medal. Which makes it all the more awesome.

Actually, what made it all the more awesome for me was that he was that overjoyed and happy thinking that he was going to get a Bronze.

What a swell guy.

Totally. It was just a really great, classy night for him.

Oh, yeah. That was definitely sad. What can you do? Someone's going to be sad, regardless.

I'm joining the "I want to be in a Hamm sandwich" club. *g* I kept watching and trying to carry on a conversation with my parents and then going "WHOA" in the middle of a sentence. How can they do that stuff?!
