At the FaceLift, we'll tie you up, pour maple syrup on you, and leave you out for #46. That'll learn you.
Don't forget that the Star-Spangled Banner was all about the last time our countries fought - and you lost.
And the Canadian navy was fourth largest in the world in 1945.

Shawn White's domination of the halfpipe was a bore.
If his competitors had a halfpipe (with a foam pit for bad falls!) at thier disposal all year there would have been a different outcome lastnight.
Edit:
I think ABC learned a valuable lesson about live open mikes when Shawn's coach told him "f*#k it dude, just f*#king send it" before his final run and after he had already cinched the gold.

FWIW "They" frickin' changed the words to "oh, Canada" a few years back. I had just gotten the old version nailed when they changed it. Now I just sing the french version. ;(

Actually Pud, I think most of the top snowboarders probably do have year round access to half-pipes and foam pits.
The big advantage Shaun had was that his was private, so he could come up with a trick in secret.

people who type in all caps are generally lame but
NBC USING MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT IS THE LAME-EST!! (LOADED THE CURRENT VERSION OF THAT P.O.S. MULTIPLE TIMES & STILL NO VIDEO)...
AND NOT HAVING LOADED IT ON THE STUPID ITUNES PA$$ IS ALSO LAME. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT BY NOW.
Where can I see the Vonn/Mancuso runs from last night?

I completely agree with pud re Shaun White. I admired his performance, but hell, a secret private half-pipe accessed by helicopter? It just isn't a level playing field. And yeah, I know, it probably never is a "level playing field," but I thought this was over the imaginary and ever-shifting "line."

Try:
http://watchvancouverolympics.com
Can bypass F*cking NBC's block on actually showing the Games, and stream at least some stuff.
(Why does NBC buy the exclusive rights and then NOT use them? I don't get it, I'm dying to sit in front of the TV and watch nothing but NBC and their affiliates: instead, I'm learning how to use P2P networks and streaming from abroad?)

NBC should at least broadcast something live, especially here in the same west-coast time-zone.
If the Goat-Roper Channel can show us the Tour De France, live - from France - every summer, what's NBC's sorry excuse for their Olympic daytime line-up of soap operas and info-mercials?
