2010 Winter Olympics Thread

[opie's twisted balls]

That you had to sit down and take time to devise a different system that makes Canada look like it did better at the Olympics and make a table showing it and post it on the internet says everything about who actually did better at the Olympics.

EDIT: And now that I'm looking at it, a table with incorrect math.
Ya, I fucked up my math. Shouldn't play with excel after watching a GREAT hockey game and seeing Team USA get bitch slapped. Corrected below:

And no shit dick I didn't devise the system, read before you look like a tool (http://ronfez.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2671602&postcount=452).


Well done Canada. Saved by a mime!
I'd have been happy if a group of athletes came out and beat him to death like we do with our seals.


shouldnt canada only get like .6 points for every 1 US point, like money?
You haven't been following the news for the past couple of years have you? CAD is currently @ .95 and will be > 1.00 by the end of 2010.

Hey leave the canuks alone.


After tonite they go back to being the 51st state that everyone ignores

[opie's twisted balls]

At least in the USA, we've got some of our "first people" left over to trot out for crap like this. Canada has apparently wiped theirs out completely.
I think it must be a BC thing since all the feathers in my parts look like this dink (he's a dink because of how he acts, not because he's an indian) and have names like Big Plume, Running Child, Crowfoot, etc.

In Soviet Russia, Olympics host you!

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, there are quite a few things from the Soviet era that Putin's reinstated, not just this anthem.

[opie's twisted balls]

Don't be blaming this blue man group knock off shit on Canada.

[dino_electropolis]

Yeah any "request" by Putin seems more like a threat than a request

I hear the Russian games will be introducing a new event : competitive bread line marathon

[Dan 'Hampton]

Hey leave the canuks alone.

Come on they're still ahead of anything in the southeast us. In my book anyway.

[opie's twisted balls]

The Russian presentation is very 1970's Disney'esque.

[Snoogans]

this shit is terrible

[Snoogans]

Hey leave the canuks alone.

[dino_electropolis]

It might b hard for Russia to host the winter games seeing as how warm the ruskies are as a culture


(you see, we forgot about Canada already)

[dino_electropolis]

All these Russian performers have a look on thier face like there is a gun trained on their head

[KnoxHarrington]

Or like Putin's gonna invite 'em out for sushi if they suck

[dino_electropolis]

Whereas the Canadian one was more 1940's Three Stooges-esque

[opie's twisted balls]

Actually it was post-modern queer.

[Dan 'Hampton]

[Dan 'Hampton]

[dino_electropolis]

Hey I dig neil young for what he does, but it don't mean he should be doin it at any event

[opie's twisted balls]

Bill isn't funny.

[Dan 'Hampton]

This isn't going to end well.

[dino_electropolis]

[dino_electropolis]

[KnoxHarrington]

[opie's twisted balls]

I still have know idea who the fuck that douche was and what he had to do with the games.

[OGC]

is that soy sauce hair that Michael J. Fox is sporting ?

[Furtherman]

No way.

Shatner still rules. Loved it.

[opie's twisted balls]

I should have been high to watch this.

[OGC]

I'll say one thing for these closing ceremonies, they make me appreciate NBC's commercial breaks.

[dino_electropolis]

Fkn Canada!!!!

U guys are terribly bland and annoyingly self effacing.


I woulda picked Nam over running to ur shitty country!

[opie's twisted balls]

big titted maple leafs....things are looking up

and finally big hairy beavers!

[lleeder]

Canada should have just left after they won the gold in hockey. The rest of this shit is flat out embarassing.

[lleeder]

According to my program the tribute the maple syrup is coming up in 5 minutes.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Neil should have turned out the lights.

[dino_electropolis]

costas loves inflatable beaver

[KnoxHarrington]

So what exactly is made in Canada? Faggotry?

[dino_electropolis]

Like the thanksgiving day parade for morons

[opie's twisted balls]

So what exactly is made in Canada? Faggotry?
We don't make them, we only allow them to get married here.

[lleeder]

Canada is most proud of things that just happen to be lying around leaves and beavers.

[KnoxHarrington]

Did I just hear that the closing ceremonies will continue at 11:30 with Nickelback and Avril LaVigne?

Can we launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike now?

Keep in mind that when it comes to our musical acts while we might have spawned the likes of Celion Dion you're the geniuses who've signed her for multi-year Vegas contracts

[keithy_19]

I won't slam Canada's music acts because they have some good ones like The Weakerthans and The Constantines.

Unfortunately, they only like to plug horrible ones. Bravo Canada.

[brettmojo]

MOSCOW -- Russia president Dmitry Medvedev demanded Monday that sports officials step down over the country's dismal performance at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Russia, a traditional winter sports powerhouse, won just 15 medals -- with only three golds -- in one of its worst performances. Officials said before the Games that 30 medals and a top-three finish in the medal standings was the target.

Russia placed 11th for golds and sixth in the overall medal count.

In televised comments, Medvedev said if those responsible for preparing the athletes don't resign, then the decision will be made for them. He did not mention anyone by name.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Maybe he means Ovi in which case he can defect to America.

He was talking about Mutko - the minister for sport and Tyagachev, the Russian Olympic Committee President, among others. And yeah, it might happen. Sports in Russia is a major political issue.

The Russian army is embroiled in an embarrassing scandal after 200 of its tanks were found abandoned near a forest in central Russia, unguarded and unlocked.
