Chicago dodges bullet

[Zkribbler]

Zkribby, if you're talking to me you should know that you're on my ignore list due to being one of the stupidest people on Poly.

Oh noes!!!

I love how rah is whining like a stuck pig like how Chicago not getting the olympics is some kind of crypto-European conspiracy of anti-Americanism - he's so ****ing paranoid and sounding like a victim that anyone would think he was a Fox News watching Republican!

The US has hosted the modern Olympics FOUR times (not including Winter Olympics)! The nearest any other country has come to hosting is twice - including Greece itself.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaa, whaaaaaaaa - it's sooooooooooooooo unfair!!!"

London - three times awarded.

That's only because there's no other city in the UK worth having the Olympics in.

[MOBIUS]

And how many times has London actually hosted the Olympics?

The pedants are out in force tonight...

[Dauphin]

Except maybe Hull.

Cardiff would host the best Olympics ever - but we're too smart to put a bid in and actually get lumbered with the damned thing...

I'll thread necromance in three years.

[MOBIUS]

irrelevant, because the date of my post will trump your necromancy evermore.

Wrong.

[MOBIUS]

Wow, the pedant out-pedanted...

Winston is also correct, BTW.

[Dauphin]

The 1908 Olympics were awarded to Rome.

[Winston]

Um, I thought you meant London in a wider sense.. Please be more precise in your future postings!

[KrazyHorse]

4, no?
