Give’er your O-Face

That’s right – that face of unsurpassed elation. That face of excitement. That face of release. Give’er your Olympics face.

Because right now is the sports event of a LIFETIME (if your life span is < 2 years, like say, an insect). That’s right, every two years is a Olympic event (summer or winter) where the entire country comes together to care about sports they otherwise don’t. If it weren’t for the Olympics, who would watch bob-sledding or skiing or even speed skating? Does TSN even cover them in non-election years?

I love the Olympics. It’s the time where I can catch up on all the masters of such athletic events as curling, luge (similar to tobogganing but for adults and with curves) and cross country skiing (but with a gun). Men and women you could otherwise pass without noticing, after selling you copper piping at your local Rona, a Canadian Olympic star.

Opposition parties are morally indignified for our athletes. Media gets two weeks of unsurpassed fluff. Coworkers have something to talk about.

We all win. We’re all winners.
