Sooooo...who's pumped for the Luge?

**INSIDER** · 02-10-2010, 06:58 PM

i like skeleton better.

**'trane** · 02-10-2010, 07:00 PM

drink luges are awesome!

especially with hockey on in the background!

DVS · 02-10-2010, 07:34 PM

do we have a luge thread sticked because if Canada gets gold a million dollars ++ will be shelled out?

**fancylad** · 02-10-2010, 10:15 PM

asweome thread Benzo. I love watching luge (and bobsled). seriously.

some Alberta based company is offering $1,000,000 to split between the luger (lugist?) and the Canadian luge program if someone wins a gold medal.

LX · 02-10-2010, 10:21 PM

It's great just to say over and over again. Loooooooooge.

DVS · 02-10-2010, 10:24 PM

is luge just one dicipline or is it the collection of all disciplines?

ie bobsleigh, skeleton etc etc

**fancylad** · 02-10-2010, 10:26 PM

well there is pairs luge in addition to single luge.

I wanna see that sport where they cross country ski but have a rifle attached to them. Instead of aiming for the targets I'd rather them use it on each other though.

I was at the torch rally Monday and it was crazy loud.

Surrey Leader - Torch turnout higher than expected

Short-track speed skating

Windex · 02-11-2010, 03:36 AM

games starting tomorrow, I'm sure you guys will be watching in Canada

getting ready for some skeleton, luge, bobsleigh, snowboarding, hockey, skiing, speed skating and curling

**fancylad** · 02-11-2010, 06:35 AM

I love watching the Olympics. More of a summer guy, but lots of the winter sports are cool to watch.... i guess there's something about the best athletes in the world that literally give every ounce of their effort in these competitions. Even sports that i don't normally watch can be compelling to me.

DVS · 02-11-2010, 09:16 AM

Bailey Not carrying the torch? Yes I do know he is a Summer Olympian but the most decorated Canadian Olympian should carry that torch dammit.

I call out West Coast Bias

I thought it was supposed to be a surprise, but whoever it is I know it will be underwhelming
maybe Nash or Wayne

There is a leak that their will be a Terry Fox Hologram. If they could pull that out it would be really, really cool

**fancylad** · 02-11-2010, 09:45 AM

how is Nash underwhelming?

He's from there (well Victoria), is probably the best athlete to come out of that area, is popular all over the world and is a Canadian Olympian himself.

I'm ment whoever they pick will be underwhelming, but Nash or Wayne would be good choices
Suns probably have a game though

DVS · 02-11-2010, 09:51 AM

Wayne won't get picked he wasn't even an olympian. I'm sure it'll be an oldschool gold medalist that most people don't even know (Nancy Green) or a person that really represents "canadian historical fabric" like an indian chief of some sort or Rick Hansen

I voted for Pamela Anderson myself wearing Seal Skin and a Peta watch

**fancylad** · 02-11-2010, 09:59 AM

Gretzky was.

He was part of that crappy Nagano team.

and windex... gotcha. i misunderstood.
