O.T. - Canada vs. USA At The Olympics
farmerart
In fact it has already started. Earlier today women's bobsled (2 man) - Canadian women kicked American ass to win that gold medal. Tomorrow at 10:00AM(MST) Canadian women's hockey team will start the beat down of American women for the gold medal. Also tomorrow Canadian men and women curlers will take gold medals. Sadly we don't get to kick American keesters for those medals. Friday Canadian men's hockey team will kick American butt once again but this is only the semi-final. Hockey gold medal game is on Sunday. Good chances in bobsled for men and women (4 man).
Forget about beating the Russians now. The creme de la creme in sports for Canadians now is kicking American ass.

How bout medal count? Canada winning that one?
Do you believe Sidney Crosby would have had the ability to earn over 100 million dollars if the teams were located in Medicine Hat and Saskatoon rather than Detroit, Chicago, and New York.
Better be careful about carving up the golden goose. :)
A By having their women Olympic athletes swim in them.
I mean really, Canada is like the US if you made the US nicer. And added poutine. And made French a second official language. What could be wrong with that?
And the whole Rob Ford thing. That is SOOOO American if you think about it. A bunch of suburbanites vote in a crazy crack smokin' Chris Farley-type dude as a big middle finger to the latte-sippin' liberals in Toronto. America invented that kind of shit! Plus, I must say that Rob Ford is frickin' hilarious.
However, the Justin Bieber thing was uncalled for. Demerits to Canada on that one. Somebody needs to hire Juice to kidnap Bieber and taser him in the taint. Repeatedly!

Can you imagine an American crack-smokin' mayor as cool as Rob Ford? Who? Marion Barry?! HELL NO!
All I can say is "Canada Rocks!"
As for Ford, believe it or not, he's the best mayor Toronto has had in a while. He's kinda like a republican, he's cut taxes, controlled spending, reined in the worst unions, and slow the gravy train. People like that aspect and if he runs on his achievements, he might get re-elected despite the gluttony.
Men's hockey - I think that the US speed on the big rink will tell. Also, I think that the US has managed to put together a star team instead of a team of stars. US by 2.
As far as the two-woman bobsled went, the US driver gave away a huge lead with an abysmal last run.
But fuck y'all for the Bieber thing :)
Home and cooled out in this one.

When you lose, you really lose.
Too bad the Canadians don't have a neat superpatriotic phrase like "American Exceptionalism" to toss around.
Curling = game for chronic insomniacs. You could doze for 15 minutes and not miss anything. :-)
To be in the lead with 3:30 left, and then lose in OT. Ouch!
Marie-Philip Poulin is the new Canadian superwoman. 2 goals in the 2010 gold medal game.......2 goals in the 2014 gold medal game. She is 22 years old.....Canada's newest cold blooded American killer.
farmerart is most joyously drunk at 4:30PM(MST).
USA lost the W hockey game, IMO.
A month from now there will be hundreds of thousands of Canadian girls begging their parents for a #29 Team Canada jersey.
Come back win is kicking ass in my playbook. Just like Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the second half of the Super Bowl!
Oh sorry :-), that's right Manning and the Broncos got their assess kicked real good. Long suffering KC Chiefs fans never forget!!
I just saw a news clip of Rob Ford in a Toronto council meeting at the moment of the golden goal in the Canada-USA women's hockey game. Fat Bobbie is jiggling all over and attempting to jump up and down in celebration. Seems like Fat Bobbie can jump maybe 5cm.
Hilarious sight.
Actually, I really couldn't have list. Born in Detroit but lived in Brantford until I was 22. My sister and brother still live there. I just enjoyed the game.
The US men still with by 2.
list = lost
"... still win by 2."
The dominance of Canada (and the US) in women's ice hockey could lead to it's demise as an Olympic sport. Unless some other countries become competitive, this could be the end of women's hockey.

The big one starts in 1 hour - Canada vs. USA men's hockey semi-final. The entire nation of Canada will shut down to watch that titanic battle on TV.
I am as nervous as a herd of bull calves the day the vet comes with the testicle clippers.
farmerart is mightily pleased!!!
My boys play Sweden for the gold medal tomorrow. This game didn't have quite the drama of other Canada-USA hockey games, certainly nothing like the women's game yesterday. Kudos to J. Quick and P. Kessel on the American team. I always knew that Quick was a world-class goalie but I always thought that Phil Kessel was an over-rated little pissant. Gotta change that opinion of mine. He is the real deal....fast skater and deadly dangerous around the net. Well done, Yanks. Just remember that Canadians have the same grit, courage, and toughness that Americans possess.
Even though it is -18C at Rancho farmerart right now I will be slapping a honkin' huge Wagyu ribeye on the outside BBQ and cracking open one of my remaining bottles of Latour '45 to celebrate.
Olympics 2014 hangover #2 will be in the making right now.
Art, Dinner sounds great.
My response was that I was already drunk and that I wasn't moving anywhere.
The reply?.....'We're all drunk too. We'll send Fat Farley out on a sled to getcha.'
Hmmmmm?........wonder where I'll be sleepin' tonight (assuming Fat Farley doesn't kill me on the SkiDoo)?
Olympics 2014 hangover #2 is much worse than hangover #1.
Fat Farley didn't kill me on the SkiDoo trip to the pub last night.......this morning?.....I wish he did.
Just saw a very peculiar play in the USA-Finland bronze medal hockey game.....USA penalty shot because of Finnish broken stick violation, never heard of a similar rule in NHL.
Oops, Patrick Kane lost control of the puck on the penalty shot; game is still scoreless.
Men's Hockey - CANADA
Women's Hockey - CANADA
Men's Curling - CANADA
Women's Curling - CANADA
All is right with the world.
