Missed Again
I always miss the good stuff. I watched the men's synchronized diving for a while yesterday, but got bored and switched channels before this happened. (Link via Fark)
Olympics organizers have increased security at all sports venues after an unidentified Canadian spectator plunged into a swimming pool during a diving competition.
The man, bare-chested and sporting a blue tutu, scampered onto the pool deck and climbed to an adjoining diving board during the men's synchronized three-metre springboard event on Monday.
He jumped into the pool after about a minute atop his perch and was immediately apprehended by security officials at the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
From the photo, I'd say his form was better than the American divers.
I give him extra points just for the blue tutu.

Hello! You forgot to mention those snazzy white leggings with the blue polka dots! He gets at least a 1/2 point just for the tights!

And they were color-coordinated too. But I had to deduct some for the shoes. They just didn't match.

It's the leggings.

No wonder that the security people did not notice the guy. The place must have been full of men wearing blue tutus and polka-dotted leggings.

Just curious: how long before the synchronized diving started to bore you?
For me, it took as long as saying, "Synchronized diving? You have GOT to be shitting me."

Hey have you ever tried to find something interesting to watch on cable in the early afternoon? There wasn't even a good movie on TCM. I watched it until I figured out our guys sucked and the China guys were really good....which took one dive each.
