That was an awesome AWESOME win for Canada. Can't wait for tomorrow. It's all about the gold.

<br>I thought the two women's teams were pretty close. The difference was probably goaltending. The first goal wasn't the goalie's fault, but I think the second one, off the faceoff, should have been stopped. That Poulin chick for Canada will be a force in the next few Olympics, though. She's got a lot of skill.

That first goal was an incredible one timer.

WHOOHOO!!! [:D]

I'm too tired, drunk and emotionally exhausted to write much. What a hockey game! What an Olympics! What a party! 14 GOLD! A record for ANY country! Canada kicked ass, and won the most important gold of all in dramatic fashion, in a game we'll remember here for all time. Sidney Crosby redeems himself after a failed break away in the third and catches Miller off guard in OT. WOW!!!

And '82, if I had 20 seats, I would have saved one for you! [;)]

Outstanding Olympics. Too bad it had to end [:(].

Hockey or the torch-lighting ceremony? I'm betting against Canada on both.

That closing ceremony theme was like a bad acid trip:

We do love our beaver up here!

Can't wait to get to New York tomorrow to congratulate my American colleagues on winning silver! Silver looks great with red white and blue, but red and white together are golden!

Emergency shipment of condoms headed to Olympic athletes

Rowdy curling crowds; spontaneous street parties; public drunkeness. You don't have to look far for evidence that the crowds at Winter Games in Vancouver know how to have a good time.


And, as if anymore proof is needed that a wild Olympic atmosphere permeates B.C.'s largest city, now there's an apparent condom shortage.


That's right. As you read this, an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city.


Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That's about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.


So naturally, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research decided to step and make sure there were no hitches in Olympic action.


"When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately," said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR's Executive Director. The organization assembled three large boxes of about 8,500 condoms, much to the relief of libidos at the Olympic Village. They're expected to arrive on Thursday.


Free condoms first started to be distributed at the Olympics in Barcelona at the 1992 Games. This appears to be the first time that a shortage has struck the Games.

A good fucking Olympics for sure.

[MARV]

Fuck yeah.

Gotta say I enjoyed the hell out of this Winter's Olympics. I'm actually tempted to start my own Snowboarding team.
