    also, the Olympics is the only time where I can say "Ok, let's go get sour on some krauts" and have it be remotely applicable. Especially since World War II isn't breaking out anytime soon and I won't be joining any underground beer drinking competitions.

    Australia will be too confused by snow to finish any of the games.

    Not to mention the hordes of them trying to get asylum in Canada to escape the natural horrors of Australian that are constantly trying to bite them, poison them, shark them, and kill them.

    apparently there was some thing about a flag of a boxing kangaroo that the IOC asked the australians to take down and they said no

    I wasn't really paying attention to the news at the time, there was a bit of chicken that was really hard to get to on the bone

    from personal experience, ice hockey is about a thousand times more fun that field hockey.

    Yay, speed skating and other rad winter sports! :D

    For anyone in the Vancouver area, the art gallery will have free admission during the olympics, and the exhibit is a ton of Da Vinci's works. If that's your bag, check it out!

    It is super expensive and the revenue that comes in from people coming to watch the games doesn't nearly make up for it.

    It is basically a super expensive excuse for a city to replace some of its recreational facilities.

    Thank god Toronto has only ever done a half-assed job of applying for the olympics. All proposals are started and submitted the night they're due, sometimes the morning after. We've claimed to have had emails to the IOC go missing because of the postal service and had our mom call in for us telling them that we're sick.
