    That was a great story.

    Shame about the ending, though.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      Of course we did -- it's NASCAR on ice, after all.

I'd go and execute that loser just to be sure, he sure as hell don't deserve any praise for doing the normal thing; I'm not saying the right thing because that's special, but what he did is normal.

          Quite the opposite, if he hadn't given the pole, he would be a bastard. So he isn't a bastard? YEAHEHEEAYYE!!!111

          No party for that.

                    • 28% of the Canadian Athletes are from Alberta. Interesting.

                      And 10 of Canada's medals came from athletes who train at the University of Calgary.

                          What are you on about? We won 7 gold medals and a bunch of the others. The best olympic result for the nation ever.

If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars
