Is now my favorite sport. laugh shocked laugh
What guy came up with this. Let's put some very fit ladies in the least they can wear and still be on TV and watch them play volleyball.
I think ladies beach hula-hooping should be an Olympic event.
Or pole dancing, huh!!!
What would you rather see, water polo or creative pole dancing?

That water polo confused me. I thought it was the worst synchronized swimmers in the world for a while there.

If you think that's good...PARTICIPATING in coed beach volley ball is even more fun--one can end up in all kind of on court "entanglements".......... grin

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

And George Bush gets high marks as president. His wife and daughter go off to view China's cultural treasures, and GW goes to get some lessons from the US women's beach volley ball team.

Well, there is that.

Yup, all's fine. My lovely wife has just returned from California, and at the moment she's preparing a bunch of pictures to post.

I've been working, mostly.

I done a baaad t'ing. A couple coworkers of mine were hounding me to get some code finished so that they could use it: so instead of writing a bunch of small tests to develop the code from, I wrote three or four big ones to save time. The code I wrote made the big tests run, but it wound up being a hastily thrown-together hack that I didn't really understand, and now I'm paying the price.

Eventually I'll probably wind up completely rewriting it from little tests, the way I should have in the first place; but meanwhile I've been cleaning it up and adding in little tests to define and stabilize its operation.

So there's been a lot to do other than screw around on the Campfire. I 'spect you have days like that yourself.

Personally i like the womens softball better and it's a crying shame this will be the last Olympics for it as a medal sport...Reckon the usa's record of something like 5 losses vs 311 wins might have something to do with it?


Bangflop! another skinning job due to .260 and proper shot placement.

I played the game for 20 years and coed V-ball was a lot of fun.


My wife and I were in CA in 1993 and we attended the Manhattan Beach Open which is the grand-daddy of the pro beach V-ball circuit. This was back in the day when the teams of Karch Kiraly/Kent Steffes, Randy Stoklos/ Sinjin Smith and Mike Dodd/Mike Whitmarsh were the best 2 on 2 teams in the country. It was a great time and I would recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to attend the MBO, do so.


The women are fun to watch grin and we have by far the best women's team in Beijing. Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh should go undefeated.

The men, Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers have already lost one match and will have to work hard to achieve a gold at this Olympics. I think they will finally get there but not without a battle.


It's a great sport that I'm glad is finally getting the recognition it deserves!..........Bump,Set........Spike! cool
