Canada = Beijing Olympics FAIL

The Canadians are without a medal. Nothing. Not a gold. Not a silver. Not a bronze. They are looking up at Mongolia at this point. The Canadians have become the Summer Olympics FAIL...

They can't drop the Olympic puck fast enough for the Canucks.

that one wrestler left his Bronze medal on the mat in a sign of protest - maybe they could snitch that one before anyone notices?

Yeah, its kind of embarassing, but I dont think we were expecting too much as of now. I would have guessed there would have been one or two by now (maybe Hayden or Brown in the pool or some sport like fencing or synchro diving) but I am not surprised either. They will get a couple, but it wont be a showing. Focus on Vancouver.

According to the CBC website, the Canadians are looking for a strong second half of the Olympics.

The Canadian's Summer is more in the track and field area. They'll end up with a few medals.

What does that mean? They expect to pick up 1 medal? That would look strong compared to the first half joke they have been.

He's got a good point. And, take it on good authority that Canadian girls are tasty.

I guess you're right. I never did make it to Canada between the ages of 19 and 21.

still better than coming from a country that has the equivalent (in appearance and intellect) of a monkey as president. Also, America is the FATTEST country in the history of the Earth.

This is not true. There are some island nations in the South Pacific that would take the title.
