Not "the" Olympics, but an international comp.

What are the rules here because:
1. The bar drops, literally, maybe an inch.
2. She's impossibly thick, and I think that might be giving her a huge advantage?

Yeah, it's been a dream of my wife's to go, and I was ready to blow like $30k on this trip (housing, tickets, etc). And.... a) that was not enough and b) we couldn't have gotten what we wanted anyway

What's it say about our society when even 1%ers cannot afford to go? :lol:

Seriously though, it really is a statement about our society when the Olympics basically outprice the overwhelming majority of Americans. Not to mention that you know resellers probably bought up a ton of those tickets.
