I wouldn't want to live either place.
When are you moving, Harry?

What's your problem with Norway and Finland? They're nice places,
friendly people.

Nothing against the people Harry. But I don't agree that they're a socialist euphoria like you do.

I've never claimed they were perfect societies.

Norway, another socialistic state, at the moment has more gold medals

as Canada.

Must be the fault of global warming, eh?

They probably care more about these sports.



Yeah, that must be it. A country with a population of under six million
fielded a hockey team that beat the highly paid U.S. National Hockey
League team because the Americans don't care enough about hockey. Oh,
and the Fins only came in third.

Maybe the NHL should fire the losers they sent and hire the Fins. I
bet they would appreciate the pay raise.

I doubt most Americans would even notice tho.

When the Clippers went to LA they asked how come 15 million Angelenos
can't fill a hockey stadium and the answer was there must be 15
million people in LA who don't like hockey.


Oh, I dunno. People watch televised golf matches, and golf is somewhat
less exciting than watching beige ceiling paint dry.

That's your impression because you don't play (probably couldn't make it around a golf course, could
you?), and you know nothing of the game.



Indeed, it is my impression and the impression of lots of other people,
and you are right, I don't play golf...because I consider it...boring.
And I find it boring to watch, more boring even than..soccer.

Took my bike on an 18-mile round trip yesterday, from here to Chesapeake
Beach and back. On Route 251, pretty hilly but scenic, as you know. Oh,
that was my *pedal* bike. I doubt you would have survived the trip, what
with your physical history. It's a tad tougher than walking around a
relatively flat golf course. I was pretty tired by the time I got back.


First, I don't believe that story, given what I've seen of your physical condition. Second, try
walking seven miles around Forest Greens golf course. Third, I've been on Route 261 several times,
never on 251, that I recall. But then, I'm sure you paid close attention to the signs as you
bicycled past them. If you'd said you pedaled down to the 7-11 for some Hostess Twinkies, I may have
believed you.


I'm with you on that... but it was a nice story... at least it was a
post where he wasn't calling anybody names:0

The 'highly paid' team was not a US National Hockey League team. It is
a team comprised of players
from many (if not all) of the National Hockey League teams. They get
together as a US Olympic Team
once every four years.

Of course, you knew that, eh?


So what we are finding is Canada can excel at "sports" like curling and
street fighting that nobody else really cares about...



Who really cares about kiddie motorbike slow-speed racing on piles of dirt?


Harry, you told us how little you cared about the Olympics, and then started praising the socialist
Fins for their hockey prowess. Either you care or you don't. Try to be a little bit consistent, or
people won't trust your story much.

BTW, you did notice that almost all the Fins were professional hockey players - many of them right
here in the good old USA. Eh?
