Love my Holga, but haven’t dug it out for awhile. Need to get back to it.

Only because they’re both from the same country. Wearing the same swimsuit. France’s runners wear blue with red trim. Canadians don’t.

This is a good point, which is why it’s good the Canadian coverage is on 4 or 5 channels across three separate networks (CBC cut a deal with our two sports networks to carry the games as well, I think).

We sometimes have 5 channels carrying the games, plus online streaming. They don’t show all ceremonies, but a good number, and the important ones (Canucks, Phelps, Mo Farrah, that sort of thing) get live coverage.

What the fuck does this even mean? Aside from the fact that clearly you’re hurt my feelings by telling me - unasked, I might add - that you’re not my friend.

This is the internet. Nobody lets it go.

Since the CBC doesn’t right now (we’re having... issues right now), I’ll have to seek that out.

The Beeb may be too jingoistic, but there’s no beating the sarcasm ability of Brit announcers. They’re the best.

Actually, it sounds like a new drink involving Clamato juice.*

Or that weeds grow there because it goes unused.

In most of the world, including the US, “dickweed” is written as one word, not two. See also: douchebag, fuckface, dipshit, asshole, asswipe.

It blew up on Twitter. As well as the fact it took ages for them to even say who won bronze. Which makes sense, because an American won silver, and therefore everything after that doesn’t actually exist.

Enough of a nobody that NBC said he was from France. Which tops CBC confusing Phelps and Lochte.

As long as we remember a woman in the same position would not rescue herself, but instead be rescued by all the men in her life.

And makes you more tolerant.

Yup. Green water is slower than blue or clear water. Brown water is even slower, until it comes out the other end.

Even friends who keep their distance from soccer are commenting on this today. As one said, the only critical part of this sore loser’s statement is “We lost.” He also added something about whiners, sucking on it, etc.

Pizza Pizza is Pizza 73 in these parts, still. Also, don’t forget Derek Drouin and Shawn Barber and Brianne Thiesen-Eaton and possibly others.

I do think Oleksiak’s coming from 7th place at the turn and still well back at about 150m is probably worth noting.

I’m Canadian, and while I never used “goes like stink,” the friend I grew up with who became a Pentecostal preacher (also our designated driver. Handy, that) used it a fair amount, because it meant he could swear without swearing. See also: Holy pick! and other ridiculous idioms.
