I'll say right up front; I'm not a winter Olympics fan. I skied twice in my life in high school. First time I liked it. Second time I had a date, more like a stalker, since I didn't know she was going to be there and didn't have as much fun since the snow bunny didn't ski but looked sooo cute in her fashionista outfit that I married her. Not that day, a few days later .
- Closest or is it closeist or closeest I ever came to a luge was a spectacular spin out on the PA Turnpike a few years back
- Snowboarding; nope.
- Hockey; nope.
- Cross country skiing while shooting things; ummmmm don't think so.
- Men's (I use that term loosely) Figure skating while wearing spandex,feathers and fur; NO COMMENT.
Curling??? to borrow a phrase from that great Philosopher Allen Iverson, "Curling? Curling?" Who made that a sport? Put them in their correct uniform, sear sucker shorts pulled up to their chest, plaid shirt, blue knee socks, white belt and black oxford dress shoes. Play it in a retirement village in Florida and call it SHUFFLEBOARD. I work with a Swede and he said, "Nobody in Swededn curls." Where would you go if you wanted to CURL? I wanna hurl when I see them curl.
- See the Women's Gold Medal game? Canada finally won one. Then their under age female players came out swizzlin beer and champagne and smoking cigars and partied on the ice. Wonder if any of them wrote their name in the ice while.... oh never mind you get it. Olympic Committee horror!
- American Idol gets bigger ratings and NBC paid billions to televise by taped delay, doesn't NBC know about the internet and instant results?
Gotta sign off, I sound like the bushy eye browed old TV commentator. Whadda you think of the Winter Olympics? (not you Pea; you're addicted to ANYTHING on TV)

Slim...you would think that all McKendrys' would enjoy the winter olympics, being built for winter and all that...perhaps you couldn't really handle the shoveling and walking to St.A's thru 20ft.high drifts, the paper route in all conditions, the "suicide hill" tobaggan runs...ah well, I do enjoy the winter games very much, course I used to be a skier and owned my own stuff etc...Viv La Shussing...Adieu my friends Adieu!
Slush this Franz!
it looks like quite a workout! Ugh...
The Hockey is great. I'm into it. USA is on today at 3:00.
I like curling. The girls seem to like it as well. We are talking about "Curls for Girls", "Suns out, Guns out", "Pipes", "Bi's and Tri's"... Aren't we?

LOVE IT Jason!!!!
Hockey is awesome! Snowboarding was great! I've enjoyed many events, including the ladies figure skating that was on last night. I love the Olympics, however, I do agree with you on one point Slim - curling is just NOT FUN to watch! Liam gets enraged every time it's on! His rage is actually quite funny because he takes it so seriously! Anyway... go USA!!! (Hockey is on NOW!)
