2010 Winter Olympics thread...

[RICHARD]

loved the whales and the Spirit bear but I was really embarrassed for all Canadians at the end when one of the towers wouldn't come up for the lighting of the inside cauldron. Mistakes happen, but hey, the world is watching, ya know????

Overall, it gave the impression that we are all living amongst ice and snow in igloos. Sorry if that insults some Canadians...it's just the impression that I got. I have other observations but will keep it to myself.

You are embarrassed over that? that's nothing. You live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. No one gives a shiat about a mechanical problem.

4.5 hours and no one said "EH".

I am still in love with Lemay Doan and thought Nash was having fun, he washed his hair for the event.

Grace,

Bobby or who?


The commentators said the song K.D. sang was about peace and one line was something like, "shooting someone by beating them to a draw"?

That made me think....

You are joking - aren't you?

The greatest defenseman - ever!!

I thought he was Gump Worsley.


I may be a stupid Cah lee fuh nee ahn Messican, But I do know who Bobby Orr is, Here's one for you, Who was Mil Mascaras?

[Grace]

I thought he was Gump Worsley.

Gump (Lorne John) Worsley was a goalie.

That other guy was a wrestler - I think. Wrestling doesn't appeal to me, so I'm not familiar with their names.

Yes, many Canadians are upset about the butchering of our national anthem.

But - I would very gladly take the butchering if it meant that the Georgian luge fellow had lived.

Our anthem is sung many many times. His song is done.

So, Was Bobby a lineman, linebacker or free safety?

I know he played for the "Bears".

Catty,

Was the NA lip synced?

I noticed she was off a little.

[Catty1]

RICHARD, I didn't watch it - can't afford TV service. However, from the description of the performance, sounds like it WOULD have been hard to lip-synch.

I suspect it was more the slight time difference between when her lips moved and the sound came out of the sound system.

If you were telling the truth in your earlier post (#52) you don't need me to tell you.

Did you watch that You Tube video I linked?

So, Maurice Richard wasn't part of NASA?

What beautiful ankles you have.

Yes, I am pulling your leg.

I know why the Canadiens have CH on the jersey.
Worsley was the first fask mask dude.
Gretz has 800 and some odd career goals.
Marty McSorley did cost the Kings the Cup.
Team USA didn't play the Russkies for the gold in '80.
Herb Brooks died in a car accident.

I have so much usless sports trivia in my head, I don't hear voices , It's Vin Scully doing a Dodger's game.

IT's way to much fun to do just regular sports trivia. I like to have fun w/it!


I have to make up for the Mexican Olympic Team....One person?
