My only problem is that I have bulked up since then and it's a bit tight, mainly around the neck. Looks like I will need to stick with the new one. :(

Deutchsland!!!:) Uh-huh, so Germany has 2 gold medals and no silver or bronze and that makes 4 total. Riiiiiight. ;)

Summary: Norway are pulling the medals (4!!) but not the goldies; Germany has 2 gold, and the US/Canada alpine pissing contest is neck and neck: 1 gold to each.

A lowly American pair skating team did the first ever olympic triple throw today--they only had 20% success in practice and nailed it in the competition -- so I teared up a little, but it was cool. :o

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt! :|

I have a 3-tiered system of Olympic fandom. I've done all the calculations and allowed for permutations.

By birth, marriage and familial connection, I root for:

USA (1st and always)
---------
Algeria (Go on, sole Algerian athlete. . .)
Canada (if not competing against US)
---------
France
Italy
Ukraine
(You know, if there's no one else to root for.)
