That's a good suggestion. And I guess this should mainly be about suggestions, since the real thing is a bit random.

I really don't get the headlines we are having here. "Huge decline in the number of tourists" We are under quarantine. Borders are closed. People are constantly asked to stay at home. What the hell are they expecting?!

Opening Ceremony will be in exactly one week. Insert the missing words...

Well, if Vanuatu suspends all flights, then they have nothing to worry about. How many people fly to Vanuatu anyway?

Not according to the Worldometers.

Yeah, they (and the Comoros I guess) are in this list solely due to being island nations, presumably. Still, it's not a nice company to be in.

Also, first cases in the Western Sahara apparently.

Still Corona-free: All very safe and super non-controversial countries. + a bunch from Oceania

Pretty good record. 1.4 golds and 3.2 medals per edition.

First cases in Malawi.

All-time jury medal table has been updated. Ireland has won 108 medals in 13 editions. From 457 non-Irish juries. That's a casual 23,6% medal winning rate.

So I finished preparing the Parade of Nations while listening to this song on a loop. Turned out to be quite a few more Lighthouses than expected, but alright. Fun fact: It's the first time that we have 3 (!) nations beginning with U. Usually it's just one.

Day 17 of quarantine...

I'm not quite sure if this site got hacked or if they are just bored as hell. https://eventingnation.com/

I read somewhere that the entire 2020 ATP/WTA may get cancelled...

That Time When Lithuania Exchanged Points Left, Right and Center... 2015 Open was one of the most memorable editions of TISC. It was the last time to date that Ireland played host. It was the last edition held on the old forum. And it was the only time that Lithuania took victory, thanks to Song About Love, performed by Leon Somov & Jazzu. Song About Love, interestingly, to this day remains to be the only winning entry that had a perfect points distribution. In a nutshell, it means they received each possible points score during the Grand Final, from 1 through 12. However, one thing that always gets overlooked from the said edition are the Lithuanian jury votes. They were as follows... 12 points - Australia 11 points - Morocco 10 points - Portugal 9 points - United States 8 points - Germany 7 points - Spain 6 points - Great Britain 5 points - Poland 4 points - New Zealand 3 points - Serbia 2 points - Slovakia 1 point - Malta Amazingly, it turns out that Lithuania exchanged points with all these nations. They received 12 points from Australia, 11 from Morocco, 10 from Portugal, 9 from the United States, 8 from Germany, 7 from Spain, 6 from Great Britain, 5 from Poland, 4 from New Zealand, 3 from Serbia, 2 from Slovakia and 1 from Malta! It is unclear whether any of these nations received any kind of compensation for exchanging points with Lithuania. However, inside sources claim that the TISC president @OlympicIRL and his team are planning to launch an investigation into the matter, which could result in serious consequences. More to follow.

Watched the first few episodes of HIMYM. There sure is some quite toxic behaviour between characters that I don't remember anyone addressing.

First case on Bonaire. Kingdom of the Netherlands has fallen!

Jaws (the original one) is on a sophisticated side.

First cases in Burundi too... There will probably be a million cases overall by Friday...

Best Algerians would obviously take part. Why should they organize an event that clearly goes against their interest, scheduling-wise?

10 days to go...

Since there is so much time on offer, I am considering watching How I Met Your Mother for the first time.
