[tinman905]

Ya flying moose who would of thought. I will have to look up this year on the moose hunt.

Those were definitely the biggest Beaves I have ever seen.

[Ken Talbot]

The only thing they missed was some igloos!

[Big Daddy Funk]

Agreed. 'Cause Mo Knows Beaver.

Like fishing, throw the big ones back. The smaller ones are keepers.
"And that's all I have to say about that" (Forest. Forest Gump)

[slow mo]

canada eh!

We never claimed to be perfect
That means we’ve learned to be humble
We say excuse me and I'm sorry…as well as please and thanks
Even when its not our fault we apologize

Sure one arm of the torch didn't rise,
But when the earthquake struck Haiti, Canadians raised their hands to say…”we’ll help”

And yah, there is a fence around the torch
But you can walk right up and shake hands with our prime minister and most famous Canadians

We put Gretzky in the back of a pick up, in the rain, not surrounded by police…and he was okay
And by the way... The great one is Canadian…and HE wasn’t complaining!

We do have security at the games, of course, but most people don't even have a gun they have to leave at home

The medals ARE under lock and key but our doors and our hearts are open to the world

It has been pointed out that some buses broke down last week….but let’s not overlook the fact that our banking system didn't

We didn't get the "green ice maker" right this time….but we will, eventually

Just like we did when we invented the zamboni

Citius altius fortius

If you don't reach higher how do you get faster and stronger

Was the first quad jump perfect?
Should we not have given snowboarding to the world "in case" it didn’t take off?

So big deal…one out of four torch arms didn't rise. Good thing we had 3 more! It’s called contingency planning!

But remember…the Canada-arm works every time…in outerspace….and insulin turned out to be okay

We couldn't change the weather but maybe we can help stop to global warming

We don't have the tax base of the US or the power of the Chinese but, per capita, we ponied up for some pretty kick-ass venues in the worst global recession ever

Sure, some folks couldn't afford tickets but our health care is universal

We have shown the world that we can raise our voices in celebration and song but moments later stand in silence to respect a tragic event...together..spontaneously…and unrehearsed

What's more, we don't need permission from anyone to have a slam poet, fiddlers with piercings and a lesbian singer tell our story to the world, while our multilingual female haitian- born,( black) head of state shares a box with her first nations equals

We’ve shown the world that it doesn’t always rain in Vancouver, that you can strive for excellence but not get hung up on perfection
And we’ve learned what it feels like to be picked on by some no name newspaper guy and we don’t have to take it lying down!

So the point is not the snow, or the hydraulics or a couple guys being 5 minutes late to a ceremony

We know we’re lucky that these are the biggest problems we had to deal with in the last couple weeks

So take your cheap shots….Guardian newspaper and cynics of the world

We're bigger and better than that

What's more we're finally starting to believe it!

Do you believe?

[XSokieSPECIAL]

Dammit Moe...........I think that is the most you've ever had to say!

Bravo Canada!!!!! Nice Job!

I still think it always rains in Vancouver though , I used to live in Port Angeles Wa. ( Right across the sound)

[slow mo]

that was sent to me from my brother those are not my words,, but i liked it so much i forwarded it to my peeps xs11ers,,RIDE SAFE ,slow mo

[DGXSER]

Dang it Mo, Now your gonna force me to have to read a news article! Something I avoid in general because they are never fact based and always put together with the explicit intent of stirring emotions of someone. They could even make a cheese sandwich into an international event.

Evidently, they said something less than complimentary about life in Vancouver. Don't feel to bad, Cincinnati could not even convince them to let us try.

BTW, I looked under Guardian, have no idea what sparked that.

[slow mo]

gaurdian

its a British newspaper that was always crapping on Canada and the Olympics ride safe slow mo!

[XSokieSPECIAL]

Lol

It was just different getting more than one line from you bro'. LOL

Ride safe mo!

[Big Daddy Funk]

Chirp..Chirp

its a British newspaper that was always crapping on Canada and the Olympics ride safe slow mo!

How many medals did England win? No wonder they're peeved.
Ireland's Womens(self sponsored) bobsled team finished ahead of them in an old Canadian sleigh. That had to sting.

[ross]

i knew the tag line would work!!!

hey there folks....didn't expect that much response from a silly little posting....wow......i would really like to find out where i can get my hands on one of those beavers!!....just the right size to really piss the neighbors off....i could make a big XS banner and put on the front.....now wouldn't that be a photo!!!!



slow mo....and to all canadians.....did not mean to offend....your people put on a great welcome to the world.....didn't expect the rant, even though it is not yours....but understand the place that it comes from....and understand your feelings of agreement....wish that was the same on this side of the border....wish our idiots would worry more about getting jobs going and f*ck the health bill for now!!!.....i could go on, but i don't have the finger strength at this point....

(the sounds of O' Canada playing in the background)

finally i would like to be the first to announce a new canidate for prime minister.....



SHATNER FOR PRIME MINISTER!!!!.....just a thought there folks.....ride hard, ride safe...ross
