Olympics Part V: The Search for Gold

Re: Olympics Part V: The Search for Gold

Olympic polls - <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/business/85382277.html">35% of people cried while watching the Olympics</a>, probably due to those warm and fuzzy stories NBC loves so much. 25% of the 35% were men. And people would most like to try bobsled? Definitely not for me. I kind of prefer not to go hurtling downhill toward my death in any way, shape or form.

What are the chances I can surivive an hour at the gym in front of TVs without seeing or hearing the USA score? Work isn't a problem, but I'm thinking I should just go straight home and watch the recording. :D

Do squats, lunges and jog in place while in front of your TV! :D

IOC is making a big deal about it as they sip their martinis and scotch. :mad:

Hey when I represent a Dutch guy here for marijuana possession I'll be sure to mention back home he could buy sell and smoke it in public! :rolleyes:

:D

I doubt they care about them partying just not ok with them partying in public on the ice.

And I can understand that.

Regarding that celebration, I say it was awesome. They're hockey players, let them celebrate like hockey players. And I am proud to say that Cornell women's hockey player Rebecca Johnston actually tried to drive the zamboni while that was going on. Good on her. :D

Exactly. It's either idiocy or sour grapes to make a blue nose fuss about it. Losers complain, winners bang the homecoming queen. (This works for womens' hockey just as well, as it turns out...)

I wholeheartedly support the canadians celebration. Let them live it up. They just won gold in the most important sport to canadians on home ice.

I believe the quote is "Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and **** the prom queen" :D

Well its just like it was in the states until the Feds decided to be the moral police and link highway funding to changing the drinking age to 21. :rolleyes:

Every state was different.

I've heard stories from when Minnesota's drinking age was 19 and Wisconsin's was 18. My hometown is right on the river, and the high school seniors that were 18 would cross the bridge at lunchtime and see how much beer they could drink in Wisconsin before having to go back to Minnesota to finish up the school day. :p

They went into the locker room first. They came back onto the ice 35 minutes later. Clearly they should have chased the nosy reporters out first.

This. If someone else has a problem with it, they should have won the gold medal instead. To the winners go the spoils.

I don't think the American players have a problem (except it wasn't them), it's all the self-righteous *******s that are saying anything.

I'm sure the players are cool with it. It's a VERY small community. It's the usual self-appointed prudes, and then the American networks will run with it to appeal to the flag/dick waving crowd (who don't watch hockey anyway).
