vancouver mark said...: Wish it was only freakin polar bears that will be crowding up my city next month... grumble grumble...

Word of warning - if any NON-polar bear tourists ask me for directions to damned Olympic venues I am quite likely to politely and helpfully give you clear and smiling directions to the corner of Powell and Jackson, which probably won't be what yer looking for.; January 7, 2010 at 9:22 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: But But...what about the honor of hosting the world? Now, you gotta be a good host. Get into the spirit brother. LOL. I am sorry. That was mean.; January 7, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Wandering Coyote said...: Hosting the world? Honour? Fuck that!

I'm with Vancouver Mark on this. But you already know how I feel about the Owe-lympics, don't you, Cal? ;); January 7, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I do Coyote and I feel bad about getting to enjoy the whole thing from safely behind the Rocky Mountains that separate us.; January 7, 2010 at 12:12 PM

What we are realizing at this point is that our federal, provincial and city governments are all essentially irrelevant for the next two months. All decisions will be made, or at least vetted, by the IOC.
And any social services, education and health care committments, now and in the future, may or may not be radically changed at any point due to this rather large budget item.

The sad thing is that Olympic hockey is so dear to me, and this time round I'm going to feel like a hypocrite every time I watch.

And the REALLY sad thing, personally, is that just as the games commence I will have my fiftieth birthday. So the whole world is invited to this milestone event, apparently, but not one of the lousy partiers will bother to buy me a drink, let alone bring a gift.

So, as I said, "oh, the Richmond Skating Oval? Absolutely, sure, well, let me see. You want the #20 Victoria bus, you stay on right through downtown, then you get off at the corner of Jackson and Hastings, and go two blocks north, that's towards the mountains. Two blocks north, then you'll see the little park, and you're right there! You can ask anybody in that park and they'll help you. Enjoy!"; January 7, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I think we hit a sore spot here haven't we Mark? You have obviously givin this topic alot of thought. And I wouldn't totally abandon the thought of getting a gift from one of the visitors. I here the lady's luge team from Belarus has something special planned for you. Bring a spotter.; January 7, 2010 at 3:17 PM
