So I'm having so much fun watching the olympics this year. Probably doesn't hurt that Phelps is kicking ass, but it has been a lot of fun to watch the US in whatever event.

I guess I should share my latest obsession.

I was watching the Korean Olympic channel cuz there wasn't any soccer on, and they were playing the most bizarre game I had ever seen. It was like water polo without the water. I went to the olympic site to see what it was, and I couldn't find anything I didn't recognize. Sharp shooting.. check. Gymnastics... check. Handball... like racketball without a racket... No???? Team handball??? WTF???

I've been watching it. It seems to only be on the Korean channel, but I'm fascinated....

Dude, handballs a big game in Boston. My buddy from Southie (home of Good Will Hunting, the Departed, Boondock Saints) got a full ride to college on a handball scholarship (he later told the dean to suck his **** and got expelled, but thats a different story).

Team Handball is a goofy looking game.
