Is ice fishing an official Winter Olympic Sport? If it is, count me in.

I saw in the figure skating division this one guy with pink tassels and rhinestones on his outfit.... For goodness sake girl it's the Olympics not a drag show in Weho tone it down LOL.

It's funny cause I was watching it with my strait buddy and his family and they all know I'm gay. His dad gave me a funny look and said "Jason As long as you don't look like that on a float I'm OK with it..." LOL

Oh and I wouldn't be caught dead in a gown that trashy. I may be caught on a float but with a tiara on my head..... hahahahaha.....

See I'd have the best of both worlds JP and probably give those southern queens a run for their money.

Combine a pride float with a drag car. Alcohol fueled, rumbles, shakes, all that awesome stuff like I saw in Fontana a few years back with my uncle.

And to top it all off have people in drag race the things down the street lmao....

Hell I'd pay to see that LOL see their wigs XXXX off at 150 mph HAHAHA

Don’t laugh. Somewhere they did just that and the car went out of control and clipped some people standing by the side of the road. There was a Youtube video that circulated awhile back.

Tough for a wig to XXXX off from under a full firesuit and helmet.

Hockey results

USA : 5
Canada : 3

The last 20 minutes of the game was so exciting, especially the last goal scored by USA. The bottom line is Team USA has one hell of a goalkeeper otherwise Canada would have won.

Who is going to win the coveted hockey gold - Is this going to be a repeat of the Russia vs USA miracle on ice like in Lake placid?

That wasn't the smartest thing to do. High horsepower cars are squirrely by nature. Putting all of that horsepower to a road that may have less than perfect traction is a recipe for disaster. And allowing spectators to be along the sides without any safety barriers is inexcusable.

Car can even go over these barriers.... I remember seeing a Rally race video where the car flipped over the guard rail and into the crowd.

My son and I won't take our new car to any dragstrip that doesn't have concrete barriers and not metal guard rails. Guard rails can be deadly to drivers and spectators. Concrete walls are much safer because they will keep your car headed down the track as you scrub off speed.

Yeah.... Metal guardrails sounds pretty dangerous
