Morning HOTROD.

Up early reading Detective Comics (the original crime skewed Batman comic books) and starting my new Olympics blog.

Fri. 8/8/08 7:14am From: HotRod

Hey guys!

Tell us more, Dave!

Fri. 8/8/08 7:26am From: Dave in Chicago

Batman or blogs?

Well Batman is up 2 Robins (who he's now adopted) and a son that he didn't know about. So 3 boys and Alfred.

The new blog is only a skeleton, but should fill out over the next month. But my old one, welcomebackrosenthal is full of junk...

Fri. 8/8/08 7:33am From: Bad Ronald

Howdy folks!

Fri. 8/8/08 7:40am From: listener jeremy

but anyone have any favorite events they'll be watching for? my favorite event will be watching the insane amount of security they have there. and the smog.

Bronwyn pointed out last week on her show the HUGE number of drug and "mysterious" drop outs. American boxer Russell just dropped out this morning.

Fri. 8/8/08 7:45am From: Heidi

Goodmorning like your list so far

Fri. 8/8/08 7:48am From: HotRod

Hey Heidi! You better be tuning in and not just reading the playlist! ;)

Olympics Fact #1: White mice will be used to test athletes' food at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to make sure it is not poisoned.

Fri. 8/8/08 7:49am From: heidi

I am you have good tracks. I got to work early to listen

Fri. 8/8/08 7:50am From: HotRod

Alright, good! Just making sure! hehe...

Fri. 8/8/08 8:08am From: Ken from Hyde Park

Hi. Nice show today.

Fri. 8/8/08 8:09am From: HotRod

Olympics Fact #2: There are five Olympic Mascots for Beijing 2008: Beibei (blue Fish), Jingjing (black Panda), Huanhuan (red Flame), Yingying (yellow Antelope) and Nini (green Swallow). Their five names together - "Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni" - translates as 'Welcome to Beijing'.

Fri. 8/8/08 8:13am From: Bad Ronald

Weren't there superstitions surrounding the mascots. People believe they are the harbingers of disaster?

Fri. 8/8/08 8:17am From: listener jeremy

i like this song, lucky boy. nice slow beat

Fri. 8/8/08 8:21am From: Bad Ronald

I concur

Fri. 8/8/08 8:21am From: Dave in Chicago

But all bad luck is being countered by today. 8's are good luck in Chinese culture and of course today is 8/08/08. Trust me they made sure activities started on this date.

Fri. 8/8/08 8:24am From: HotRod

Olympics Fact #3: There has been a surge of marriage applications in Russia on Aug 8th for good luck. China too will be opening its Olympics on August 8 at 08.08pm on the same day to benefit from the same.

Fri. 8/8/08 8:48am From: Lorentxo

Fri. 8/8/08 8:54am From: listener jeremy

i've decided i'm going to drop out of the olympics too. don't want to provide any details at this time...

Fri. 8/8/08 8:56am From: HotRod

Olympics Fact #4: When Australia won the right to host the Olympics in 2,000 it forced the homeless and poor out of Sydney, so rich overseas tourists would not have to look on poor people, and to hide from the world Australia's shocking homeless problem. Similarly the Chinese government displaced 1.5 million people - leaving most of them homeless and removing many "by force" - in order to mow down neighborhoods and build new facilities for the games.
