You know what, in my opinion, is one of the best songs I ever played as a trumpet player?
The Olympic Theme by John Williams. That plays and you know you're part of something important.

All of it is brilliant, but my absolute favorite part starts at 3 min and 10 seconds in.

To make the #Olympics worth watching there should be #juggling versions of all the sports.

100m race ... with juggling!

#HorseDancing ... with juggling!

At the winter games, #Biathlon with juggling!

The #Paralympic version could be adapted so that competitors with no arms put on an artistic drone show using a joystick pinned to their tongue.

The 1906 Intercalated Games, then part of the #Olympics, opened OTD in 1906 in #Athens https://toilet-guru.com/blog/9.html?s=mb #travel #history

15 years ago, a gang of anarchists, Indigenous land defenders, and assorted shit-disturbers took on the 2010 #Vancouver #Olympics and said: Fuck your colonial circus.

From chucking pies at politicians to wrecking corporate crap and smashing colonial symbols, we weren’t there to politely protest—we were there to disrupt.

I break down how we built an anti-capitalist, anti-colonial resistance that didn’t ask for permission and sure as hell didn’t apologize. This is a firsthand look at how it all went down—and why that fight still matters.

Watch it. Share it. Remember it.

Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to block the US from entering any of the Olympics until the US government stops reenacting nazi Germany?

Oh, well.. I guess, it ain't much... but today I just came across this very fine 5.25" 1.2MB single disk version of "The Games: Winter Challenge". An awesome addition to the games collection!

I cannot share this disk itself, as it is not mine, but here's an equally pristine 3.5" version:

Have fun!
