So the terminator is running tomorrow?

At 7:07, he's actually got the longest running segment of the relay.

 

[KeithTalent]

Loyd Robertson needs to retire already. Watching him has always been dull, now it's become almost a Death Watch.

You're in Coal Harbor right? It's also coming through there in the morning.

The relay makes no sense, it comes through to Yaletown tonight, then runs to the west end in the morning and ends back up in yaletown tomorrow night.

Nah, I'm in Yaletown. It certainly has been getting noisier, I can say that much. :\

Does anyone really know why he's in the relay?

 

[sdifox]

Official line is because of his enviromental efforts.

Official line is because of his enviromental efforts.

[sdifox]

I just tell you what I know.


It is entirely possible that Vancouver is paying him to attract people to the games :biggrin:

Wow, I found out about the Superbowl on Sunday and now I hear the Olympics are tomorrow. I really do live under a rock.

Oh, this was last week. Darn I guess I missed the Olympics.

Wait, last time I checked your province was a has not province right?

Get off your fucking high horse.

When was the last time Toronto made it past a preliminary olympic bid?

Doesn't work.

1) No one else around the world gives two shits about Terry Fox, hell, even some people in Vancouver (myself included) couldn't really give two shits about Terry Fox. I believe what he did was admirable, but this is getting ridiculous.

2) Everyone around the world would raise an eyebrow and ask who the fuck terry fox is, if you have to explain, the person isn't a good torch bearer.

3) Hologram's aren't visible, when CNN did the holograms the TV show hosts were speaking to thin air, they were super imposed electronically.

Because his state indirectly employees a ton of people in this province and pays us for our power.

Should be visible if they use Fog, but I dunno. The rest of the World will find out who he was, if indeed they show him.

I really think Micheal J. Fox should carry it.

Bring back Katarina Witt, I say. Ladies Figure Skating has been boring since Harding arranged to have one of Kerrigan's patellas knocked off.

Curling starts Feb. 16 @ 9:00 A.M.!!!! Woo-hoo! I don't know why but I freakin' love curling.

NBC sucks ass. I can't believe they are tape delaying west coast people. That is the dumbest thing possible.

True. This is NBC though, everything they do will be the dumbest thing possible.
