They say when you finally break through the permafrost... the rich earth
substrate steams!

CM,

You trying to tell me the "Little Blue Cow" paid her own way over to
Greece?

OT

Quick, somebody get some cheese!


"Capt. Mooron" whined

We got more than we expected..... of course we don't have the
funding like
they do in the USA nor the Centers like they have in Australia. The
Canadian Athletes that won medals did it all on their own without
undue
taxpayer input. Now they will have backing from corporate sponsors
due to
their medals. The way it should be. You guys run Olympic Competition
like a
Communist Country!

Who?

If you mean the athletes... Nah the Gov. pays their way over.. that's a
given. They don't contribute much more than a paltry tippence to a very
limited few for the training though. There is no Olympic Athletic Training
Programs in Canada Thom. These Kids are mostly self sponsored.

I guess it just does not matter all that much to us here. No big news that
we weren't going to win many medals.... if any..... going into the games. We
got a couple so far.... word is we're doing fairly well in the canoe &
kayak divisions.... go figure Eh!?

BTW - How in the hell did we get a Gold in Cycling.... nobody bicycles up
here... and she's like 38 years old!

CM

Why ... you need some with that dry Reality Burgundy you've just decanted?

It's not all ice lensing and pingos you know.... sometimes that shiny stuff
beneath the crust of kimberlite is worth the effort.

No Way... I heard you guys put the Yanks to shame when it comes to training
and backing your Athletes

Either.... both need cutting, grinding and polishing to achieve their true
potential.

Knife fights and sex I can follow but "polishing"???

Cheers
