With the Vancouver Olympics ready to open tomorrow the whole country is in a bit of a fevered pitch.
Longest torch relay, yada, yada, you get the idea. The big secret is who will carry the torch into the stadium to light the big flame. It’s a well guarded secret, and there is much conjecture. (I’m guessing The Great One - Wayne Gretski, second guess Nancy Green!)
So I’m watching the evening news, hoping for a hint perhaps, when they let drop that one of the last, (but not _the_ last) torch bearers will be none other than —hope you’re sitting down----Arnold Fucking Schwartzenager!
What The Fuck? He’s not an athlete, (unless you count 'roid rage), he’s not even a Canadian. I am outraged!
As I’m screaming at my TV the hubby says he thinks Bob Costas will be doing a stint too. Let me repeat myself, What The Fuck? I’m hoping this is unreliable information from the boys at the bar and proves to not be true.
I am pissed! Fucking Arnold Fucking Schwatzenager! Fucking hell!
I hope he gets loudly booed every step of his run. (It won’t happen, Canadian’s are too freaking polite!) Rest assured I’ll be booing from my couch.
Arnold piss off and go back to the excited states! You Bastard!

At least you don’t have him for governor. Guy is a raging useless asshole.

If this is true, it is truly bizarre. Why would Arnold S. be doing this? Doesn’t he have a state to run? 😕

You better make sure the stadium doesn’t look like Thulsa Doom’s fortress or else he might flashback and start hacking people up.

If it is true, then it might be because he is associated with the Special Olympics. I would expect that he would then either hand it off to, or receive it from, a Special Olympics athlete.

More like: doesn’t he have a state to run into the ground?

You have to admit, he IS a better choice than Aunt Jemima.

The Arnold thing is definitely true, Bob Fucking Costa I’m not yet sure about.
I like the Special Olympics as much as the next person but surely they could find a Canadian Special Olympian instead of this dipshit. He didn’t fucking invent them, after all, at best, he married into his status on that front.
I hope he gets pelted with snowballs the bastard!

About eleventy zillion people have carried the torch across Canada. So Arnold’s gonna carry it for a few minutes. He’s not carrying it in the stadium; he’ll probably be about the fiftieth-from-last person to hold it. His movies have probably brought Canadians more fun than the accomplishments of a lot of the Canadian dipshits who’ve carried it. Big deal.
And it’s “Wayne Gretzky” and “Nancy Greene.”

Fuck that, at least the eleventy zillion were fucking Canadians!
(you’re correcting my spelling at the same time you’re using ‘eleventy’, really?)

At least people have heard of him, unlike the other 99% of the runners.

My guess is that all 417 Canadians have either already carried the torch, are working on seceding, or have severe soakers on their sock and can’t make it to the ceremony.

He’s not carrying the torch - he’s trying to escape California’s annual wildfire season.

Well, except for Eddie “the Eagle” Edwards, who is British.
