Take a cat fight, for instance. All sense of being "honorable" and "fighting
fair" goes right out the window. What two guys would come into a fight kicking
and screaming and scratching and biting?

A friend of mine often refs a mixed gender hockey game on Friday and
Saturday nights. He occasionally comments on the aggressiveness of the
women. The women realize right away they can get away with the
aggressiveness because the guys are afraid to reciprocate ~ at least
at first. Another friend of mine used to coach a women's baseball
team. He's admitted to me that in private anyway, women are much more
crude when it comes to swearing and cursing.

Lets face it. Especially in sports, women are vicious, much more so
than guys. They'll take advantage of a situation much faster than any
guy would.

One thing that you can say about the Canadian Hocky Women's team. THEY KNOW
HOW TO PARTY!!

Beer, champagne and cigars?? And on the ice rink too. That is just a little
too macho for me. They make some fearsome women in Canada!

Apparently there are some wimp, politically correct types who feel that this
is not "sports appropriate behavior". All of these whiners would not last
10 seconds on the ice against these girls. I even heard a couple comments
thta the girl hocky players are more macho than the guys. But that
probably is not true.

They did. If the USA can't win it, it's good than Canada can. But now the men
need to do a number on Slovakia, so we can show you a real ass spanking.

When we get past the Slovacks, we'll see you, *IF* you get there.
Then, *IF* you do, we won't be giving anything away for free.
I take the pro-Canuckistani stance, simply to annoy my US friends. May
the best team win and that it may be a great fight. That's really all

Tough bastards. Much tougher than the Russians. I was very impressed
with their skill. They shut down a lot of what we used against the
Russkies.

Helluva game. The play on both sides was amazing. And the looks on the
US team's faces during the medal presentation was priceless, from a
Canuck POV.

See you in four, guys.

My wife made similar comments. She said, among other things.

"I'm exhausted just watching this! How do they do it?"

"Which ones are the Canadians?"

"Where's the puck? Where's the puck?"

"I hope the US team's feelings didn't get hurt."

That is my honey. You ought to hear her during a football game.

BARELY squeezed is the word. But that is what I like. I don't like
blow-outs... what's the fun in that?
Besides, the US team should be pretty good. They made it this far.
Also, we are far better losers. We don't get all pissy when we have
been beaten fairly.

I'm willing to bet that more Americans live (in total) in weather like
ours, than there are Canadians in our entire country.
Many medals were won indoors, in arenas like those you have all over
the country.
You also have way more snowy mountains in populated areas than we do.
IOW, your home turf advantage story doesn't wash.
Add to that the victories you enjoyed in out-door snow-based sports,
such as skiing (Lindsey Vonn, Bode Miller etc) and your ' home
advantage' story falls apart some more.
And how many hockey players you sent have Canadian roots? (We kept the
good ones for ourselves.<G>)
Other than that... see you in 2014.

I forgot to mention that 1/2 million dollar practice half-pipe for
Shaun White...naaaa.. that would level the playing field with our half-

It is, and it's a _good_ brag - but then again, I'm inclined to feel
that everyone good enough to participate is a winner in their own right.
I'm proud of 'em all, wherever they're from and without much
consideration for having won (or not won) medals.

Still, claiming fourteen gold medals definitely merits celebration. :)

Certainly was. the last few minutes kept the heart rate up. Both teams
played well.
