Well - I had a truly Olympic laugh moment last night - I channel surfed into the closing ceremonies to hear the announcer intoning in a deep serious bass voice: "Giant inflatable beavers!" With "Made in Canada" emblazoned on their tails. Shortly followed by "Inflated moose".

Was there a dry eye in the stadium?

Pshrynk, forget about the otters. You need to worry about the giant beavers and flying moose.

no no no.... that's how they came up with the name originally. coupla' lumberjacks that had been appointed to the department of the interior were settin around their campfire one night, they'd gotten a wire from an excited beaver telling them what the name of their new nation was. trouble was, being a beaver, he ate the paper, it being a tree byproduct, and then tried to tell the boys how to pronounce it.

Beaver: C
lumberjacks: EH!?!
Beaver: N
lumberjacks: EH!?!
Beaver: D

We is us Dutch people, and the certain gold was at the 10Km speed skating (Sven Kramer got disqualified due to a wrong change) and the unexpected gold was the women's snowboarding.

Thank you Vancouver, for great games.


Congratulations Canada, on your 14 GOLD on home turf.

Well, we only have two black bears in our eco park, so we're going to have to spray paint them white, which might put them in a bad mood.
