I think we all know that the Winter Olympics are for the athletes that don't quite have what it takes to make it in the Summer Olympics. Sort of like how sometimes guys that are too scrawny for football end up doing whatever other fall sports there are besides football.
Last Saturday, in honor of the Winter Olympics, Megan and I hosted our own fake olympics with the Baileys in attendance. The Baileys proudly represented Team USA, while Megan and I decided in honor of cold winters, free healthcare, and giant inflatable beavers, we'd represent Team Canada. This despite the fact that neither of us could sketch a maple leaf that didn't look like a farm animal.
As you might expect, the games were too epic to fully describe in a blog post. I'll just hit the highlights:
- Team USA got out to a huge lead in Blokus.
- Team Canada pulled even with a destruction of Team USA's ego in a humiliating 11-2 victory in Sliding Robot Curling. But what did they expect? We're Canadian. Of course we know how to slide rocks across ice (or plastic across carpet). See pics.
- Team Canada pulled ahead with a game of Taboo.
- Then Team USA tied it up again with the Newlywed Game bringing the night to an exciting tie.
- Just like in the "real" winter olympics - the tie was settled by leg wrestling. Hilarity ensues and Canada prevails! Please stand.
