Yikes! I can see that I will be a nervous wreck during the basketball part of the Olympics.

In a related story, the US baseball team gets to sit on the couch and watch the Canadians win a medal. That's worse than the US beating Canada in hockey.

Way worse.

Laugh *too* hard, Murbotsky, and we'll just invade, and then chop Canada into our ten newest states (ten is a nice round number).

I love Canada. It would be wonderful to make 'you' part of 'us'.

Seriously, I always cheer when you guys win Olympic stuff. It's like we're family, dontcha think?

(you better say "yes"!! )

Murbeau, if someone *gave* you free tickets for the Olympics, free round-trip flights, and free tickets to ten select events (all for you and a friend), would you feel safe enough to go to Athens?

Of course. I mean, SOMEONE needs to go there and spend some money in the beer gardens to help those poor sonofabitches pay off that projected 9 BILLION DOLLAR tab. Montreal '76, anyone?

Why, you offerin', sweet cheeks?

Offering? No, sorry. I didn't mean it to come across that way. I meant to eliminate any possible objections, like: air fare costs too much, can't get tickets to the good events, etc. I just wanted to see if the threat of terrorist incidents would be enough to keep you away. I guess it wouldn't at all, huh?

Heck, yeah. If I were rolling in money, I'd charter a flight called the Apple Express, for the top 200 or so posters from applenova, and maybe 50 friends from the 'other' place. And there'd be room for us to bring other friends along, people we actually 'know', heh. Would be some great times in the beer gardens, dontcha think?

Oh, and, you guys 'have' paid off Montreal '76 by now, I hope? (eek!)

Now that's a mighty generous offer Carol!
(note to self: must keep posting ... just in case Carol strikes it rich and comes through with another Apple Express deal)

btw - even though I haven't been following any Sport for ages ... Viva Italia.

All I want is a simple life

Actually, I had you scheduled in a first-class seat, Mac+.

Aw, okay. You can still come along. Only thing is, *your* seat cushion won't double as a flotation device. hahaha
