The Anything Goes Thread

Saw this on my timeline.

The five Olympic rings in this pandemic era.

Try to drive close to the Olympic village in Harumi. It looks like a scene from North Korea. Policemen and police cars everywhere, some roads and bridges closed etc ….

No wonder one guy already bolted to freedom.

With all the shit that already happened, I wouldn’t be surprised there is a big uprising in the Olympic Village , or some kind of fight between athletes of rival nations etc… They are cramped , isolated, cannot go out except to the competition venues, cannot party, drink, fuck…. Add to that the heat and the general hostility towards the event… no good
 
I was a bit older (but not much) when casino came out on vhs and i could rent it from my local version of Blockbuster.

unfortunately at the age i was, my way of selecting any movie to rent out was ‘will this movie have something i can jerk off to, but at the same time look tame enough that i wont look like im obviously renting it to jerk off to’

So basically i just fast forwarded it to all the bits with sharon stone (i saw she was in it and assumed there would be at least one reasonably graphic sex scene) and was super disappointed.


You do realize you're digging yourself even deeper? Renting a Scorsese flick for the purpose of masturbation is beyond blasphemy. I think I was around 11 when Casino came out. I already had most every line of dialogue from Goodfellas memorized. Even at that age, I had enough respect to do the right thing and use the JC Penny's junior swimwear section for the spank session and then learn from Marty and Joe Pesci how to scream, swear, slap around women and make disparaging remarks about Jews, Irish and anyone who works an honest job for a living.
 
I hate that wanker as much as the next guy but that is called racing.
He, the master of Silverstone, was way off the normal racing line. There was no way he was going to hit the apex.
 
You cant criticize lewis hamilton because if you do it means you must be a big racist. Thats how the internet works.

What if you kneel while saying it? Will it throw the warriors off the scent?
 
Anyone have any guesses to when Japan will start issuing visas again?
There’s long term visas & tourist visas which both are not being issued now as far as I know.
After getting fully vaccinated I might do some traveling before tourist come back.

Everyone has a guess but even the government officials I have talked have no information.

Someone told me that they will probably open foreign tourism when about 70% complete vaccinations are reached. We are now at 22.5%.
But it is not supposed to happen before the October elections. Too risky for Suga Daddy… if he survives to the Olympics. Before that, they will reduce the quarantine period for resident travelers with a complete vaccine, when digital passport will be ready. But, who knows…

I still remember when Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta 1996.

This time wasn’t as dramatic, but it was cool to see Naomi Osaka light the Olympic flame in Tokyo tonight amid all the scandals, missteps and issues that have dogged this event.

It was nice to see a ハーフ hāfu like Naomi lighting the Olympic cauldron for diversity. A breeze of change.
