There are now 78 winter medal events. It is totally out of control.

Amen to that!

How many different variations of sledding can we expect? We've got luge, bobsled, and now skeleton, which is really just headfirst luge. Next thing you know, there'll be the four-man toboggan event, complete with vinyl seat cushions and the rope to hold onto.

...and, if they're going to include half-pipe and aerial, then the Summer Olympics will need to add skateboarding to its event list. Question: are half-pipe competitors subject to drug testing?

...and, what the !&@^#% is ice dancing?!?! It looks like figure skating for the gravitationally challenged. Note: add a ballroom event to the Summer Olympics.

...and finally...if blush and eyeliner are required (for the men, too!!!), can you really call it a sport?

Some will freeze to death, living under their truck for shelter.

Leave it to a silly Canuck to lose the keys to the truck he lives in!
