When are you moving, Harry?



What's your problem with Norway and Finland? They're nice places,

friendly people.

Nothing against the people Harry. But I don't agree that they're a socialist euphoria like you do.

We were concerned about the American team.
It did very well through the preliminaries.
I suppose coaches analyzed their game and figured out how to contain them.

Norway, another socialistic state, at the moment has more gold medals
than the USA, which has nine, the same as much smaller, population-wise,
as Canada.

Must be the fault of global warming, eh?

Where are you going with this?

No where. He found out his assumptions were wrong. So he shut up.

They probably care more about these sports.



Yeah, that must be it. A country with a population of under six million
fielded a hockey team that beat the highly paid U.S. National Hockey
League team because the Americans don't care enough about hockey. Oh,
and the Fins only came in third.

The 'highly paid' team was not a US National Hockey League team. It is a team comprised of players
from many (if not all) of the National Hockey League teams. They get together as a US Olympic Team
once every four years.

Of course, you knew that, eh?

And therefore it is the highly paid U.S. - National Hockey League team,
a team comprised of highly paid players in the National Hockey League.

He is pointing out that they are not a team and teamwork may be worth
more than individual performance in hockey.


He gets it. He's just embarrassed after his praise of the socialist 'amateurs'.

Not at all. You should know by know that I really don't give a rat's ass
what you righties think or, I should say, what you have been programmed
to think, and my interest in the Olympics is about on par with my
interest in golf.

Shouldn't you be over at the gun shoppe, buying another pistol and ankle
holster in case someone takes away your main battle gun while you walk
over to Safeway?

So what we are finding is Canada can excel at "sports" like curling and
street fighting that nobody else really cares about...
