Michael Hopcroft Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I don't know if the hockey tournaments have started, but I haven't been able to find much on the App. I have seen the Mogul final, or at least part of it. I was immediately reminded of a Portland ski shop that frequently advertised on local radio called Mogul Mouse. Their slogan was "Mogul Mouse! Whoop-De Doo!". I wonder why they decided to use that phrase, given its multiple connotations. In this case, it was meant to show excitement, much like the little big in the ad going "WHEE! WHEE! WHEE!" all the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I can't stand watching anything mogul-related because it makes my knees hurt. Younger boy's Cub Scout pack has a big potluck "banquet" every year around this time. When we were planning for this year's, the committee was drawing a blank on what the theme should be, and I offhandedly mentioned that the Winter Olympics would be happening at the same time. I was thinking along the lines of Olympic-themed cake decorations and tablecloths. Now we're going to truck in five tons of "snow", hold events for nerf biathlon, bodyboard luge, and "curling" on the basketball court, destroy the church's lawn, and freeze and soak all the scouts. What could go wrong? What have I done?! pinecone, Pariah and BoloOfEarth 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of web sites that might be useful to you instead of the app (or to supplement it). Can't comment on the app itself (as expected, it is not available in Canada): http://olympics.org http://nbcolympics.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 It's going to be interesting to see how the men's hockey tournament will go now that the NHL isn't sending players anymore. I'm not sure whether Canada or the team formerly known as Russia should be favored. On the women's side, I hope the USA can finally break out of their 20-year (!) slump and win the gold. Canada's gonna be tough to beat, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 NBC still refuses to broadcast any downhill skiing. I caught the Shaun White event. His reaction was really touching. Hard to believe this dude's been Olympicing for four Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
