    In all fairness, it’s not like the pole vaulter gets multiple events to compete in. In a single Olympics Phelps won a gold for 100m Butterfly, 200M Butterfly, and 2 different relay teams where he swam the Butterfly… That’s impressive as hell, but it’s still 4 golds for being the best in the world at 1 thing. The pole vaulter only gets 1 event. There’s no relay with the long jumper, sprinter, and javelin thrower…

          Course, he was also the best freestyle swimmer, which also won him multiple golds.

          And since he was the best at both, he did won a bunch of golds for IM…

          But I’m still going to be bitter because the guy was/is(?) a jackass…

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          I was tipped off to the above by the menswear guy. Interesting thread.

                              There is a game in Thailand called Sepak Takraw, which you can see played a lot in parks and in villages. Kind of like volleyball but can only use your feet. I tried once, and only once!! LOL Quite difficult.

                                I've never tried it. I guess I'll never know whether I have a latent talent for it, which might have propelled me to international stardom. The road not taken.

                                    I think it was Bill Gates who said we overestimate the amount of change coming in 18 months and underestimate the amount of change coming in a decade.
