Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 You and your charming way with words Ruxton And I know the commentators have to say something--but the stupid Canadian ones, when the Georgian team entered with black armbands in remembrance of their dead Luger, said "and this team will gain SO much strength from these ceremonies to help them get over their loss." They will? How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 The 2002 win was absolutely glorious. I will remember it for the rest of my life and generally I hate/am completely disinterested in sports. For patriotic sake, GO CANADA GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Well Toups doesn't post in many of the same threads I do Sorry if I offended you, Toups--I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a dirty American either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I try. I thought he was American too at first when I joined but then found out by his posts that he was Canadian. No biggie Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 The question here is being asked and maybe else where. Who will win the first Gold Medal for Canada on home soil, as they have never won a gold on Canadian soil. I noticed that some of the teams wore black armbands.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I think that will be like Australia getting the Winter Games. Sure we have Mount Buller, Falls Creek and this new ice skating rink, but I don't think that will ever be enough. Hehe I live in the State of Victoria here in Australia and I can remember when you guys had the Commonwealth Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 +1 to the First Nations dancers being featured at the games. As a full-blooded American Indian/Native American myself I'm happy to see my distant cousins' cultures being represented. Although they're more influential in Canada with Canada's smaller population, in the US we only make up 1% of the total pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Yep I was 13 back then! I'm visiting Australia in the Fall (your Spring!) Nelly is fake well to be fair we all change since our jr high days, but you will NEVER find anyone who has anything nice to say about her back then. I remember she sang Mariah Carey Hero at an assembly and her voice cracked and she ran off crying. Which was great (she really was a Mean girl--part of the rougher girls who would beat up other girls, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hmmm...you going to Aussieland for fun Eric?? Nelly has never had a strong voice. I can see her not pulling off Hero by MC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Those Native dancers need to be given a Gold Medal for dancing for over a hour. Guess they have alot more stroke in Canada than here to be given such a major role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 That is cool. What parts of Australia will you be going to? Last week in Sept we have our football grandfinal and there are a lot of things happening in the city. And then from mid Oct to the 1st week in Nov we have the Spring Carnaval (horse racing) here in Victoria Wasn't the part that they did with the whales great.
