I think Disney made the movie "Cool Runnings" about the Jamaican team.

Well, I will check it more thoroughly in the light tomorrow. But from what I saw I couldn't see any dents, and that just amazed me.

Was it the Jamaican bobsled team that created such a following about 12 years ago? I would love to have a t-shirt from that Olympic event. Hmmmm. Wonder if E-Bay has that item?

Yep. The Jamaicans popularized the sport. I would think eBay has a shirt, or even some other online store like Amazon perhaps. Back when the 1984 Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles, I bought a souvenir Afghanistan Basketball Team jersey at a local sporting goods store here in Montana, and it was this wicked tie-dye color.

Yeah. That was a fun movie to watch. Wasn't John Candy in it?

Anyway, guess I'd better get some actual WORK done here (LOL!)

Will check back with y'all later. Have fun!

Skeleton wouldn't be my idea of a sport to participate in.

What's that, (she asked dumbly)?

Sounds like a sport that includes Judy Woodruff, in one form or another. She's the first skeleton that always comes to mind.

Skeleton is like the luge, only you ride the little bitty sled on your stomach, going 120kilometers per hour or 75 MPH, head first.

I know you have to look at it a certain way to see it.

Well then I won't complain about the single digit temps we are expecting for the weekend. Of course you have something we don't see here in Western Michigan during the winter...sun :)

Skeleton? No, each person goes down the run and is timed. I think they run a couple times each.

Rats...rain is making the satellite quit. I hope the weather allows me to see the men's figure skating, so I can make disparaging comments.
