I really like that new Olympic event, Woman's Downhill Big Air Ski Jumping. The winner is the one that can walk away from the event. Anytime you can see someone fly 200 feet in the air out of control and is not named Shaun White it's exciting.
Speaking of Shaun White. He is so far better then anybody else in the world. The Micheal Jordon of halfpipe. It was not even close! He had no reason to do his 2nd run and just for giggles did a trick no one has ever attempted before in competition and crushed it!! He beat the best in the world which is himself!
And I'm not even going to talk about Denny Morrison the Speed Skater and what was in his pants. Was he wearing a codpiece or was he just happy to be on ice!!! YEW!!!

Facebook people - I have a new place for you to become a Fan.
Historic Columbus WI Photographs! Hopefully the word will spread and the site will start to be populated with photos of the past.

Remember the Columbus Pioneer of which I wrote for and never got paid (not that I was expecting to get paid). Seems many people complained to Consumer Protection who in turned did nothing. But when pressed they said the case had been solved. Of course no one ever got their money back.
The Consumer Protection Agency is nothing but BS. They do nothing but still get paid for it! Jenny sent a video from WKOW and that last part is AMAZING. Gordon Hintz, a Representative for the 54th Assembly District (Oshkosh) and the Consumer Protection-Chair is doing nothing about the problems. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS JOKER!!! Email him Rep.hintz@legis.wi.gov and ask him what he is doing about Consumer Protection and why he is sitting on his but doing nothing!
Sort of like when I had a dispute with eBay. I never got my book. So I complained and signed papers and a month later it was reported that I had won my case but would not get my money back! WELL LAA DEE FREAKING DAA!! thank you.
Sorry - I see an elected politician doing nothing to help his people and get angry. ----------------------------------
Back to the Olympics . . .actually The Marriage Ref where I think we have seen the first 2 shows with all the advertising. Man this show looks REALLY bad. Forced laughter and people taking marriage advice from Alec Baldwin? Is that a good thing?
I'm dry - Have a great Thursday - I have to get my Survivor list ready for a contest!

ReplyDeleteGordy leaves a bad taste in the mouths of alot of people. Too bad he's from Oshkosh.
ReplyDeleteBut this will leave a great taste in your mouth -- especially you beer lovers out there. Hops & Props. Its an annual event at the EAA Museum. What mixes better than beer and air planes? You can get all the info at www.eaa.org/hops&props/
