All photos were wantonly stolen from Canada.com, which is a great web site I discovered while looking for Olympics information. I would happily credit all photographers but there were few credits listed. Hoping they'll see this as a tribute to outstanding photography and a successful Olympics. Go look at it! Book a vacation! Visit the moose . . . es!
Is not like the others
Which one is it?
Do you know?
Can you tell me which thing
Is not like the others?
And I'll tell you if it is so!
I had sweaty palms while watching individual and pairs ice skating, but my palms were dry as the Sahara during ice dancing.
I am not a hockey fan and I missed curling altogether, but I'm pretty sure I would have registered a pulse even during those two sports. Had I been hooked to a heart monitor during ice dancing, the paramedics would have been called.
Happy post-Winter Olympics 2010, everyone. Thanks, Vancouver!
*My normal heart rate is approximately that of a mud turtle.
Brilliant!

On the radio this morning, they played a recording of two turtles, um, gettin' busy. I'm pretty sure their pulse rates had to be measured on the Richter Scale.

I never was any good at IQ tests. My heart rate is usually at the barley alive rate.

Your heart rate was too slow to register this, but the couple in the first photo (the overalls) are BROTHER AND SISTER.
I am not making that up.

Holy guacamole, sister! What's with the redneck ice dancers in the first photo? For a moment there, I thought Foolery had gone porno!
This was brilliant and funny, as usual.

At least one of those pictures was taken at a West Virginia family reunion.

One seems to involve kissing, which I don't recall seeing in the Winter Olympics (well other than that one particular 2-man luge run), and another seems to show that new event "Pairs Forniskating".
And I'm not sure I see that last girl skater's left hand, but judging by the guy's expression, I think I know where it is.
