ohno’s gold, hot canucks

Apolo! Short-track speedskating rocks. No, correct that — short-track speedskating rawks. Just got back from Ohno’s rockin’ eve. Short-track gets your heart racing a mile a minute. I don’t know if TV showed it or not, but the Korean who got DQ’d threw a big fit on the ice, throwing his national flag down onto the ice and gesturing pathetically to the crowd like some WWF villain. It was great. I would love to run short-track. Perhaps I should learn to skate first.
Have I mentioned that I’ve reached the conclusion that Canadians are, on the whole, the most attractive creatures on Earth? And I’m not just talking Jamie Sale here. The Canadian short-track relay team is a wonder to behold. Mmmm…Isabelle Charest. Women’s short-track relay (or actually, as the official Olympics term has it, “Ladies'” short-track relay — what’s up with that?) looks like some 19th-century French sexual fetish come to life. Even at the Olympic rodeo, the Canadian women in the audience were gorgeous, albeit in an Olympic rodeo sort of way. No offense, Yankee ladies, but you’ve got some competition from up north.

  1. I saw that speed skating showdown. I liked it also when they showed the replay in slow-mo and you could see Ohno flailing his arms after the Korean cut him off as if to say “Does anyone else SEE this?!”
    P.S. I was reading your archives… I LOVED your remark about kidnapperguy… especially the passwords the FBI might try. You should read the mock IM conversations with kidnapperguy on my site.

  2. Alanna Kraus is from my hometown, I’ve been trying to figure out if she’s connected to any Krauses I know (the place is heavy on the German surnames). Knowing the people of Abbotsford, don’t expect any naked stories about her to be found.

  3. And Isabelle Charest is from Rimouski, Quebec, where I spent a couple weeks in high school on an exchange program. Nice little seaside town. The photo I linked to’s not very good, but trust me on this one, guys.
