Re: Olympics XXIII
If I said "Good movie, eh?" I'm not asking you if it was good, I'm seeking confirmation you thought so too.
I think I win the gold medal for that.
The only supposed Canadian use I've heard fits neither and hasn't even involved a questioning tone and just seems like a random word ending a sentence. That's why I find it a puzzle, um.

Re: Olympics XXIII
It was a nice opening ceremony. Not too OTT. Quite moving to see a unified Korea, even. Although must be hard for the hockey players that were displaced by the joint team decision.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if an American athletes nails Kim Jong-Un's sister who is in attendance and then Tweets about it using Trumps account

Re: Olympics XXIII
Well nobody is going to be getting a medal for how to write the name where they are being held
You have it as 2 words Pyeong Chang
CBC has it as one word Pyeongchang
Olympic website has it as PyeongChang with a capital C
Sort it out FFS.
Woo hoo for the Canadian mixed curling team. Lost the opener to Norway but then beat the USA. Thats some adrenaline filled, high speed, dangerous sport to compete in

Re: Olympics XXIII
Now as this is a family thread and not TIO I will not suggest that you look at the bios and pictures of some very good looking and very fit lady curlers and turning on the curling but closing your eyes and listening to the screams of Hurry Hurry Hard Hard, Yes Yes and then tell me you don't enjoy this sport

Re: Olympics XXIII
I see that they've failed to include female naked snow wrestling yet again.
It's about time we sacked the IOC and recruited some perverts in their place.
I'm sure they could come up with some more imaginative 'sports'.
