Hey Terminators,
I was forwarded an e-mail this morning from my Dad about the 'lympics. If you haven't been paying attention because you decided to live in a cave categorizing your Magic: The Gathering cards, let me bring you up to speed.
There's this big sporting event they hold every four years called "The Olympics". It started back in ancient Greece where naked, oiled men would get together and wrestle... among other events. (Which once again proves my theory, Greeks are weird.)
This year is the winter version where we get to see Canadians shine for once becuase they play hockey and seeing scantally clad women (and men... ugh...) skate around a big pond of indoor ice. These, among other sports, are being played by athletes from 80 countries in Torino, Italy. I'm hoping for some crazy scandal to light up a new sport this year (in 98, there was the Snowboarding scandal, and in 02 was the bad judging in Figure Skating). My guess: Biathalon Shoot-Outs. Finland gets the Gold Medal by default because they're the only competitors still alive.
Moving on to why I'm freakin' mad. The official name of the Olympics is "Torino 2006". However, the english-speaking press has been calling the town "Turin". For a while, I was about ready to kill seven large bull elephants just to prove that the press is dumb and should wise the fuck up.
However, in the article I got this morning, it said that "Turin" is the english form of "Tornino" and that standard practice is to use the english version in newspaper reporting.
Unfortunately, the newspapers neglected to take into consideration the standard practice of most people who read newspapers. THEY ARE IGNORANT!!!!
Maybe if the newspapers had explained that "Turin" and "Torino" are the same damn thing, I wouldn't have gotten so mad. They expected people to figure it out on their own. These assumptions were dumb because not everyone is going to rush out and begin researching the proper names of European towns.
Long story short, I've got all this pent-up anger about the Olympics and nothing to take it out on. There are two possibilities.
1. I'd be ready to kick some serious ass.
2. I'd be dynamite in the sack.
Either way, all the anger would be channeled and put to good use.
Ok, rant over.
GO USA,
