Day 6 Update

You really have to hand it to China, they have the nerve to fake part of their opening ceremonies, they put their actors in diapers to control potty-breaks, they control the weather with a cloud-seeding program, they fill their gymnastics team with 72 pound “16 year olds” and then they go out and kick butt in the sporting events too! And I’m not just talking about table tennis here, China has gold in archery and judo too…

In our competition, having the dynamic duo of China and Japan is the key to being top of the table. 4 of us can lay that claim: Wise Old Anna, Poolmaster, Ukari Figgs, and Dr. Norway. The current standings are:

1 Wise Old Anna 201
2 Poolmaster 192
3 Ukari Figgs 187

So many of you seem to be stuck with a problem: you wanted to be patriotic and do the right thing. So you picked the USA. Then at some point early on, the wheels fell off and it was an obvious mistake. No matter how hard you want Michael Phelps to be in every event, 8 golds is all you’ll get. You hope that a surge in track and field will help you turn the corner in this cesspool while relying on your ally B and C countries to support you, yet you get the creeping suspicion that you will fail and be a laughing stock. I know you’re downbeat, but at least there’s one man who believes in you!
