2010 Olympic Postcards ~ Icehole’s Golden Ownapodium Week!
The city was awash in nationalism as long repressed flag waving urges exploded and poured onto the streets of Vancouver like some giant billion dollar champagne beer bottle spraying out thousands of rabid superfans yesterday; the symbolic final battle (a.k.a. Greatest NHL script ever imagined) against our fellow continental bully brothers in a dramatic game of ice hockey swiftly sabrered off the lid of our bottled up conservative nature and unleashed terrific pandemonium, thus revealing ourselves in full patriotic bloom as a nation proud, strong and free, and quite capable of consuming more beer in 17 days than any other winter loving people. Wow, what a party that was. Go Canadian Iceholes, eh! ~ PK
EDITOR’S NOTE: A HUGE thank you to all the service people and volunteers who manned the front lines of this most epic party, including all the police from around the country who kept us safe during this most memorable experience.
