Yeah, I hate having to watch the stupid olympic recap on ESPN in the morning with pictures only because they don't have the rights to the videos. Shaun White pictures are not as good as the video...

At least they had that dance crew from Toronto to end it, they were pretty good (not that NBC has shown it yet).

They didn't. They chose to show all the lame pop stars.

NBC's montage was good, though...Remember the Titans music can make anything epic.

Well, all in all, the US of A had a darn good Olympic games.

NBC did everything in their power to screw it up for everybody, but overall, it was enjoyable and a welcome diversion from real life. I am now going to take up Curling in the hope that I can make the team four years from now. It just so happens that there are some rocks in the forest out back that I can use. All I need to do is figure out a way to refrigerate my basement so I can make a Curling sheet down there.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to affix casters to the bottom of my rocks. I'm thinking super glue should do the trick. Either way, there'll be some damn rock knocking down at the house of FAX as I prepare my skills for international competition.

Don't forget the giant inflatable beavers, Mr. FAX.

"Hi, my names Mike....and im Canadian"

That was a nice touch.

**alnorth** · 03-01-2010, 07:42 AM

All I'm gonna say is that I hope the "Marriage Ref" gets unbelievably horrible ratings and dies in a fire. NBC has got to be the stupidest network on the face of the earth.

It's called shuffleboard and is all the rage in Florida.

All those blue hair folk with wrap around sunglasses will kick your arse so you might want to pick up another sport. I don't think we did very good int the luge, maybe you might want to try that.

That closing ceremony was just as shitty, if not shittier, than the opening ceremonies. After hearing Avril La???? and Allanis Morrisette I almost puked up all the Crown and Coke I had during the hockey game.

The Poz · 03-01-2010, 09:21 AM

After that hockey game, who gives a shit about the closing ceremonies?
