Olymic Cycling- One Reason Not to watch in HD
To disable ads, please log-in.
My father gave my husband and I this ridiculously huge HDTV last year. I would never buy something like this for us but it is nice to see the Tour in vivd large color.
One thing not good to see? The end of the Olympic Time Trial. Last night we were watching the coverage the was on some channel called Universal HD, David Zabriskie rolls over the line and proceeds to throw up. I asked my husband "Did I just see him yack?" And my husband said yes. At least it is obvious he laid it all out to try to medal. I just didn't need to see it large and in my living room.

Welcome to TE BTW, you're a good addition to the group, already increasing our lexicon. Isn't Lexicon a car?

Gosh, my husband would be so excited. Chances are, he would replay the moment over and over -- mostly he's such a delight, but oh my, he's gross sometimes!
