An angry Russian beach volleyball player has refused to acknowledge losing to Georgia, claiming her rivals were really Brazilians in disguise.
(How do you disguise a Brazilian volleyball player as a Georgian volleyball player?)
Maybe Georgia should have spent more time recruiting Brazilian soldiers rather than volleyball players? Or better still spent more time playing volleyball and less time warring with a large superpower.

Yeah, you have to think that goading the Ruskies was a particularly stupid thing to do.
Lesson to be learned – when George W says “go on, it’ll be OK, the Russians won’t bite”, GWBs analysis may not be bang on the money…
George, of course, didn’t let this little squabble interfere with his enjoyment of the games…

The volleyball (indoor, not that beach rubbish) has been the highlight of the Olympics for me so far.

presumably in some kind of reverse process to that used by mr(s) garrison to disguise mexicans as persians…
(southpark last night – gotta have a break from the olympics some times)
