So Canada beat Sweden, eh?

[Sean the Nailer]

in Women's Curling at the Olympics. Breaking that down, it's something like this:

Canada beat Sweden,
Sweden beat Switzerland
Switzerland beat Great Britain
Great Britain beat Japan
Japan beat Denmark
Denmark beat China
China beat South Korea
South Korea beat Russia
Russia beat Jamaica
Jamaica beat Aruba
Aruba beat Antarctica
Antarctica beat Easter Island
Easter Island beat U.S.A.

Rather good turnout, don't you think?

Now about that Hockey team.... and the battle for the ever-coveted THIRD PLACE. Ya'll mind shutting the lights off, when you finish sweeping the floors and cleaning the shitters?

The steely determination of the prairie Western Canadian ...



One man's life-long dream of loyalty rewards conquest is another's determination to slide large weights down a well-groomed sheet of ice.

And yes, in further, unrelated news, Justin Bieber is still​ Canadian.

And, just to sweeten the pot (no pun intended) for you: (remember, ya'll made him what he is today.) Ya'll can keep your investment, as far as I'm concerned. And for that, I am speaking for the rest of Canada, too!

Anyone know what he's talking about (or is it aboot)?

Yes, he seems to be talking a boot a bout ... a boot a boot ... aw, hell, in reference to laced footwear that goes up above the ankle.

Has anyone actually read the depth/breadth of my opening post? I was expecting 'more' from responses. Less derailments too, I might add.

Oh, of course. I prefer Danners.

I do apologize if I tilted your choo-choo off of its rails, good man. However, in consulting your list, I noticed that you had Easter Island beating the US, and I know very well that Easter Island does not field (ice?) curling squads. In fact, they're only represented in tug of war at the Olympic level. Sadly, they've never managed to top the Canadian squad. Moreover, the US does not participate in this event.

The proud Easter Island tug of war squad.

In a mere attempt to bring this thread back to its intended course... is anyone watching the Canada vs. Sweden Hockey game tomorrow morning? The curling jab above, was mostly due to:

a) local team members win the Gold medals, and
b) ya'll did very very poorly. (those who read the list through to the bottom, would have gotten it)

I kind-of expected a little more defense, from your end.

[Veer, please feel free to mark-time on this one. Thanks]



And the men's U.S.A. hockey team just got absolutely stomped by Finland. Wow, final score of 5-0 just eeked ya'll out of the running for a Bronze.

 

[Victory]

You forgot that most Americans don't really care about hockey. Congrats on scoring more home runs (or what ever you call them in hockey), than everyone else. I think it was an amazing feat probably.

Kidding, you guys killed it, men and women.

Actually the women's Gold Cup Game was absolutely epic.....it's going to be hard to duplicate that game in the mens final

 

[Sean the Nailer]

And Team Canada wins the Gold in Hockey AGAIN! With a score of 3-0, we did it.

I know there are a few who're seething right now. Last time we went through this, they were 'right in there like a dirty shirt' because it was Canada vs. U.S. for the Gold. And then we won. Hence why I made this thread, simply as a venue for a little bit of neighborly rivalry. And maybe just to rub it in a bit. Again.

Just a little. But seriously though, nobody is going to make a defensive measure about my insinuation of Jamaica, Aruba, Antarctica, and Easter Island beating out the U.S.A. team? I thought ya'll were prouder than that.

Thing is though, as far as I'm concerned, the best thing about this year's Olympics is the Passport controlled Beer Fridge. Anyone with a Canadian passport can open any one of the freestanding, fully stocked beer-fridges that are placed sporadically throughout the events. And when the door opens, said beers (real ones, with flavor and alcohol) can be shared/given out to whomever is wanting one. Heck of a way to introduce our good beer to other nations whom simply catch local rainwater in cans.
