Dear Everybody,
Did you know that the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games start on Friday? Well, they do. Here are some thoughts I wanted to share with you before they begin;
1. There is snow everywhere. Record setting snow. I didn't know this but it also snows in Europe. The only place that it hasn't been snowing is Vancouver...
2. ...and Jamaica, but that hasn't stopped the Jamaicans from sending a team to the Olympics this year.
3. You thought that was going to be a "Cool Runnings" joke, didn't you?
4. In case you were wondering; not only do the Jamaicans still have a bobsledding team, they now have a national bobsledding federation.
5. My favorite part of that last link is the part where it talks about being "the governing body of the sport of bobsledding in Jamaica."
6. Q: How often does bobsledding take place in Jamaica?
7. A: Never.
8. Q: What does ballet have to do with the Winter Olympics?
9. A: Who cares!? That girl's outfit (better shot @ the end o' the post) is like a third of the one from "The 5th Element".
10. For obvious reasons, I'm pretty sure that the hot chicks dancing around with black tape over their no-nos is meant as a metaphor for the sport of curling...
11. ...but I can also understand why many people argue that the combination of the naked lady and the electrical tape represent the two events in Nordic Combined.
12. Earlier I Googled "Belgium Snowstorm" and this was the second page listed.
13. Q: Who do you think was more bored at the time; the people that invented the term "Belgian Snowstorm", or the people that invented the Luge?
14. A: The people that invented Skeleton.
And finally,
15. Am I the only person that hadn't heard of the "Pedobear" before it became an unofficial Olympic mascot?
Well Everybody, that's what I'm thinking. I leave you with this art!
