Hee! I was actually thinking more Finnish Army of Yore.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I also appreciate the argument that there shouldn't be team sports. Well, nothing bigger team-wise than a bobsled.

I'd rather watch the subjective stuff (skating, ski jumping, diving, whatev) -- races of whatever format are only so interesting.
Jesse is me. I like the creative element of the more subjective sports. Races all become about tenths and hundreds of seconds and you can't see them.

Does it mess with your work plans?
A little. I need to be setting up by noon and will now be arriving at 9:30ish. That doesn't leave a lot of time for transport from airport to conference. And with a morning arrival, we probably will not have rooms to put our bags in or to clean up. ION, MY OWN BED TONIGHT.

Absolutely. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to add Formula 1 as an Olympic sport.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I fully acknowledge that I'd rather watch the subjective stuff (skating, ski jumping, diving
I think the difference between the skating events, and things like diving and ski jumping, is that although the latter are judged, they're judged for good form rather than artistic merit.

losing baseball is no loss, but softball has no World Series level campionship. At least, that's what Frank DeFord said on NPR this morning.

Well, OK. At least skating has both.

ION, anyone watch Survivor? Jessica, Brenda? Cuz I thought it was awesome! Loved the challenge! Loved the decision on who to boot! Love La Mina!
That challenge was crazy! Fun. And the team dynamics aren't playing out in totally predictable ways, which is very cool.
