Bag of Randomness

  • Two feet of snow . . . get it?
  • Sidney Crosby was won the Stanley Cub and a gold medal all at the age of 22, not a bad life.  I wonder if that poor guy has any trouble finding a date?
  • I think it’s fair to say that when it comes to Olympics sports, the Canadians want to win the gold in hockey as much as the Americans want to win the gold in basketball.
  • Tweet that made my laugh via @dcmba: Hockey: The first time the USA has ever seen Canada as a threat.
  • And thanks to one of my more loyal Canadian readers for sending me this article on how Obama lost a bet to the Canadian prime minister regarding that hockey game.
  • I finally figured out what the Vancouver Olympic torch reminded me of . . . Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.
  • One Olympic sport that definitely needs to be brought back, tug-of-war.  It was last played in the 1920 Olympiad.
  • I have no idea if the use of ‘Olympiad’ in the previous sentence is correct, but it sounds cooler than just saying “Olympics.”
  • Back in the day Russia use to be a force in the Winter Olympics, this year they won gold only three times.  Medal Count
  • One example of what makes my wife such a good and supporting teacher – on her weekend she attends many of her students’ sporting events.
  • This weekend I got to meet one of my most loyal readers who extended me some grace I’m extremely thankful for.  There truly are some really good people in the world.
  • WifeGeeding’s sister is helping to build a home in East Texas that will be part of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.  Yes, the house is actually built in a week, but the hosts of the show really don’t help out all that much, mainly contributing to only the begining and ending segments.
  • All men know this unwritten public restroom rule
  • This person thinks that if the Bible wasn’t ignored, the Sea World trainer would still be alive.
  • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has declared Python Season – Maybe something like this would be a change of pace for loyal reader Scott of Wise County.

  • Finally, new episodes of House, HIMYM, and The Big Bang Theory.
  • For all you fans of the comic The Family Circus, here’s their 50th anniversary strip.

  • Reading Rainbow
  • Some great pics – A Brief History of Olympic Sore Losers
  • This goat pulled a Sarah Palin.
  • A Flickr set of money that has been drawn on
  • Because if this article about Chuck Liddell, I now know that Reebok is a subsidiary of the German company Adidas.
  • A congresswoman lost re-election back in 2006 and has never returned to her office to pick up her car.  There’s a very thick coat of dust covering it.
  • Adam and Eve in the Friend Zone – YouTube
  • A strange story about shoes in South Korea.
  • Jim Carrey is now a grandfather.

    I think the unwritten bathroom rule is also for the stalls in women's bathroom. Space is needed in such a private situation. See what wifegeeding thinks? I was once told that defacing money is illegal. This was told to me as a child and I have always believed it. I have never read it to be true.

    I agree about Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. It DOES look like that.
