Oy, it's the Winter Olympics.


No offense, but I honestly can’t think of anything more boring than a bunch of Canadians. Tonight’s opening ceremonies for the Vancouver Olympics included a number of opportunities to cure your insomnia: costumed Eskimos and Indians dancing around four phallic totem poles, the history of Canada narrated by Donald Sutherland, several medleys of the top two songs from Canada’s hit parade, God Save the Queen and O Canada, plus some award-winning artificial snow falling from the stadium ceiling. Adding to the games’ excitement: crappy weather, a Russian luge athlete who got killed today during a practice run and another chance to watch showoff snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis acting like a nitwit. Keep an eye on the Howdygram for more Olympics news in the days to come!
