99 luftballoons was an interesting song choice from the organist at the US/Germany game.

The Canadian Ice Dancing pair needs to be disqualified for using such a terrible version of "The Long And Winding Road".

The IOC and FIFA continue their battle for most corrupt sports organization in the world.

The final that we all knew was going to happen.

Will the Univ of Minnesota add another 8 Gold or 8 Silver Medals to their tally? Not quite the 10 players and the coaching staff like in the 1980 MOI game, where they came back from behind in several games. But it's the largest contingent to get onto the US team so far. That first game between the two was a pretty close game, but not only did Canada win, but they scored more goals than the US team did vs common opponents as well. The US goal tending may have been a little better but not by much and that means nothing if they can't keep the Canadian team from scoring more goals. Should be a close game but I hope it doesn't end in a shoot out again.

I once rented a full ape costume that I took on a ski trip with a bunch of friends. As I skied by a few people I got a few exclamations of laughter or panic. It was a great time and very warm... but tough to see out of while skiing.

The highlight was wearing it while night skiing. I was riding the lift up with two friends and the teenager working the midstation (undoubtedly high) looked like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. I just stared straight ahead the whole time. I'll never forget his expression.

Great story but none of us are going to believe you rented one and not purchased one outright.
