Canada's contingent made me jizz in my pants!

I can't wait for ice hockey to start (tonight!) It may be the women's, and there's no checking, but it will be interesting to see the women play on NHL size ice. Perhaps we'll see more cycling and hopefully the refs will let some physical play go.

I don't know why, but curling is probably one of the most exciting winter sports. I think this is the case because the spectators are always on edge and even the competitors show so much emotion with the screaming and all.

Also, the biathlon and cross country skiing are very interesting events. After watching a Bud Greenspan Olympic documentary and understanding both sports somewhat, it becomes increasingly exciting to watch, rather than an enigma.

I always love the Olympics and this year is no different. I watch as much as I can and so far this year for the most part I haven't been disappointed. The only thing that is disappointing is how they still can't properly score figure skating. WTF, is it that damn hard? I get the same frustrations from Gymnastics in the summer Olympics. But I still love watching all the sports. Can't wait for Hockey to start!

The way understand the rule is that you need to have three different shooters go first. If more shooters are needed then you can use anyone to shoot the remaining shots.
I AM A FAN OF THE CHICAGO FIRE. AS SUCH I BELIEVE YOUR TEAM IS INFERIOR TO OURS IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. IN FACT, I HEARD THAT YOUR TEAMS FANS COME FROM LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS AND HAVE HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS. IN CONTRAST AND IN SPITE OF ACTUAL EVIDENCE I BELIEVE THAT YOUR FANS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY INVOLVING LIVESTOCK. OUR SUPPORTERS GROUP'S POWER OF RHETORIC IS SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN YOURS. IN FACT OUR FANS HAVE HAD A ROMANTIC INTERLUDE WITH YOUR GOALKEEPER'S WIFE IN WHICH FELLATIO WAS PERFORMED FORTHWITH OVER A PERIOD OF HOURS. WE THEN PAID HER FOR HER SERVICES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INFORM FANS THAT OUR SUPPORTERS GROUP CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL AND NARCOTICS IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW HOW POWERFUL AND FRIGHTENING WE CAN BE IN AN EFFORT TO INSTILL PSYCHOLOGICAL FEAR AMONG OPPOSING PLAYERS.

This is right under IIHF rules. See Jonathan Toews - 2007 World Jr. Championships.
