The Olympics are just around the corner starting this Friday. Hopefully the terrorists can blow each other up for a few weeks. The Olympics are one of the few times the world plays together. Over the years I have enjoyed watching the game. It always seems I can find some team to go for. Like some small nation that is sending their first athlete ever… or the stunning underdog that could update super power nation x and of course, the Canadian athletes. Our medal haul has been meh lately. But I don’t blame under funded over worked athletes. I always see Australia as a good measuring stick to how Canada should be doing… we are similar economically and have about the same population base. Yet the Ozzie always kick our asses in medals. The system they have for funding their athletes is clearly superior. Anyway, I’m hoping it will be a safe games with some pleasant surprises. I like most of the sports. What is your favourite?

either leave your answers or a link to your webpage with your responses.

Would you rather:
be unable to look people in the eyes OR only be able to stare too intensely at people?
I think staring intensely would freak people out far out *cough B.*

play 30 minutes of professional football OR ten minutes of professional rugby?
Football all the way

eat a hot dog coated with chocolate frosting OR a piece of white bread soaked in vodka and dipped in ketchup?
You had me with the vodka until you dipped it in ketchup. Some of these are gay… This could be more fun if they were realistic

be the world’s greatest opera singer OR the world’s greatest pan flutist?
Opera. Zamfir gets no respect.

Update: chooseday link is gonzo.

1. What’s ‘it’ all about, anyway?
It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It’s magic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win
It’s dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain
It’s sad it happened and it’s a shame
You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
What is it?
It’s it
What is it?…
-Epic by Faith No More
