Is Ryan riding or watching Sunday afternoon?

Should be a good game. Haven't decided whether I want to not know about it
and watch it later or not. Sunday's supposed to be our first nice day in a
while, so no way am I going to be seeing it live. Time to ride.

It would be nice if it were warm as well. Seems like I've been wearing
layers forever.

Ryan will be participating in the demonstration sport of Urban
cyclocross riding in the AM, followed by a quick trip home to get to the
TV for the hockey game. I have a large bottle (like 75 cl) of Pawels
Kwak to get me through.

You should prepare with a few more of those because, once again, CANADA IS
GOING TO BE OUR BITCH.
Get on your knees and bark like a dog. That's an order.

I wouldn't be so sure. And if it does happen, then congratulations to
the US for winning _almost_ as many gold medals as Canada.
"All my life I have been in love with gold. I love its colour, its
brilliance, its divine heaviness. I love the texture of gold, and the
warm tang it exudes when I melt it down into a true golden syrup. But,
above all, I love the power that gold alone gives to its owner. I have
worked all my life for gold and, in return, gold has worked for me and
for those enterprises that I have espoused. I ask you, is there any
other substance on earth that so rewards its owner?"

Your temporary cornering of the gold market is a moral
victory for the underdog US, because global warming
has put us at a competitive disadvantage in the
Winter Games, which as Uncle Dave pointed out are much
more geographically biased than the summer games.
And now when we do get snow here, it falls in places like
New Jersey and DC where they don't know what to do
with it.

Of course, in the US we don't believe in moral victories,
so expect us to seek revenge, possibly by imposing
punitive tariffs on the import of Canadian donuts.

It's true, Ryan is happy. I'd especially like to thank Kurgan for
repeatedly taunting me here and on fb, as his sour words have only made
this moment sweeter.

Frozen Dumbass,
Congratulations! And special congratulations on
your exercise of the victor's right to gloat. Next time,
we hope that you will do it even without prodding from
Kurgan. We are teaching you well. One day, Canadians
will be able to gloat without guilt or reservations and
wax patriotic on their glorious defeats of all, including
smaller, lesser, and hapless adversaries, and that
will be the day Canada truly achieves its majority and
joins the company of mature and independent nations.

Dumbasses -
I would like to dispute the accusation that my words on facebook were
"sour". Cousineau quoted a "great American" (his words) and I responded with
this analysis, which is, IMO, spot-on accurate and therefore extremely
painful for Canadians to contemplate with any level of self awareness:
<begin facebook snippet>
"@Cousineau: thank you for acknowledging that Americans are great and
affirming the inferiority complex which afflicts our little sisters to the
north.
My heart bleeds for the poor Canadians. Americans are universally recognized
around the world as being arrogant, ignorant tools, yet our Canadian sisters
look up to us to such an extent that they try to emulate the worst in
self-absorbed American behavior with misguided, jingoistic, nationalistic
campaigns like OWN THE PODIUM. What's next? Mission Accomplished? Woe
Canada! My heart bleeds for you!"

fellow dumbass,
Just last night I had a dream that you were very happily in love with
someone, and I was pissed off and upset about it. wtf!? I mean, I know
none of us are perfect saints in our dreams, but that's a new level of
dreamland childishness for me. I blame you partly at least, for writing
funny things like "And special congratulations on your exercise of the
victor's right to gloat". I guess when I'm asleep I turn into a greedy
three year old that doesn't want to share anything I like.

The sense of what Ryan was getting at remains the same if you substitute
"intentionally snarky" for "sour".

You think that's bad? I posted a joke about the men's hockey gold being

"only 15th?"
I listed my last bike-race victory as one of the 15 moments that were

Okay, but at the time Ryan was already gazing down upon
us from his stance atop a MOUNTAIN OF OLYMPIC GOLD.
Making fun of slogans like OWN THE PODIUM is always
worthwhile, but since the Canadians have in fact, owned
it - and seemingly without touching off a rash of doping or
financial scandals, the self-righteous little snowmen -
it's got a whiff of sour grapes. Sure, they had to sacrifice
a luger to appease some Klamath deity, but they didn't
even have to engage in massive human rights violations
or suppression of minorities like the Chinese - they just
cleverly held the games on the opposite coast from Quebec.
Now, you may say that even when it's successful, we should
make fun of OWN THE PODIUM, and as you put it, imitating
"self-absorbed American behavior with misguided, jingoistic
nationalistic campaigns." I agree with you, it's sad.
But it's kind of like the 3rd-World countries that protest against
greenhouse-gas emission treaties - their point is, hey you
1st Worlders got to industrialize while pumping out all the
coal and diesel smoke you wanted, and leaving mercury in
all the water, and now you turn around and want us to spend
money making sure our shit doesn't stink while we try to lift
ourselves out of poverty? (BTW, China is just going to bypass
the argument by investing in clean energy technology that
the US is too short-sighted to do anything with because of
Senators from oil and coal states.) Sorry for the digression,
anyway: the Canadians having watched us engage in nationalistic
displays of self-congratulation for a century or so, I can
sympathize if they ignore us when we point out that the Olympics
are a sham, just as they get good at the games.

so you're telling me that the new rbr euphemisms for whacking are

"somewhat lacking in more subtle flavours" maybe that's why I'm not as

If Ben is disconcerted to have his sex life compared to that of a banana
plant, he should take heart that you didn't choose the article about
slime molds (written by my real life college friend Carol). I would be
making at least one unfortunate reference to a "fruiting body" in this
post if that were the case.
