I want to see Gunther in goal for the US Hockey team wearing no pads or helmet.

I can't wait to see the curling, myself. I haven't been able to sleep for 2 months.

Too esoteric, eh? Or, maybe just not funny.

Bump...4 years later!

Are these Bryant Gumbel words still relevant?

I'd be more excited if there was snow at the site.

That was as of a week ago. Apparently the plan is to use snowcats, dumptrucks and even helicopters to haul snow in from other parts of the mountain.

I went to Utah to snowboard in mid-December and at that point they had gotten about 1/3 of the snow that they usually have by that point. It's been a bad snow year. I hear a lot of Colorado resorts still have pretty crappy conditions.

I'm excited. I always enjoy the Olympics, whether winter or summer.

Just to clarify, this is ONE of the sites for the Games, so while they're having to haul snow in for that area, the majority of the sites are fine.

Curling will require copious amounts of adult beverages.

Not really. Usually I get excited for the first day or two then lose intrest like a kid with ADHD. I just usually end up following the metal counts.
