Beach volleyball bingo

Hey, am I the only one who finds that Olympic male volleyball teams are sartorially 'burqa-esque' compared to the female volley teams? The gals get to show off about 95% of their skin, including a lot of cheek and, uh, thigh. The guys are all covered up except for their arms and legs (below the knee)!

Liberate these gorgeous examples of male physique and let them show off their bellies and bottoms and, uh, thighs like the chicas do! OK, so they'll have to get Brazilians, but surely they will be happy to do so if the dress code requires them to wear the same minimalistic outfits as their female counterparts. They're pros, after all.

Oh, and get some stillettoes on those beach babes - they'll add a little touch of class to the game, believe you me.

Valerie,

Be a wise girl and leave the women beach volley alone!
Only men(mostly the married variety) can truly understand the beauty and purpose of this sport...

(personally, i prefer when they "dive")

But I never said to change the female attire! What I want is to be able to take advantage of the same 'views' of the male teams!

Show us women spectators some male skin! Yes!

Val,
LOL. Notice how the zoom buton on the ol' camera is getting engaged every time a ball gets reteived from the sand?

Val - Have you seen the female lapdancers, I mean, entertainment in between games? E-nough! female flesh...bring on the Chippendales!!!

Sadly, the physics of stilettoes don't get on well with sand. The rest looks ok to me though.

I enjoy after they have a good sheen of persiration worked up. Then they dive.

Paper,

Watching volley will never be the same for me again. Frosted donut.

Don't lick your fingers. Sand in mouth = hell.

Oh, Andy, you have revealed a side of yourself never seen here - the lecherous side. ;)

This proves it, I'm just not watching enough Olympics this year

Yep, I am so missing great Olympic moments.

OK, boys, that's E-nough!

You'll be attracting a lower class of people here soon and I won't have it.

Besides, I still think they need to be wearing stillettoes. ;(

What're you talking about? We're already here.

Any chance for a USA/Brazil rematch?

That's what I'd call "hormone therapy"

Out of the gutter, guys, if you can manage it...
