Screaming Bean
Friday, February 10, 2006

I've been watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics tonight. I have always been an Olympic junkie. I particularly enjoyed the 70s and 80s tunes during the march of nations. Quote of the night has to be from Bob Costas: "If they play Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes, my night will be complete." It sounded as if someone had taken my iPod and thrown it on the soundsystem. You were doing the YMCA at home, I know it. They were saying that the Americans don't get as keyed up about this Olympics as the summer version. Of course just now I had no idea that the torch was lit. No real warning on that one. But I digress. I have an idea to bring excitement to the Winter Olympics. Bring back the 1984 McDonalds promotion. I know I'm showing my age here, but stick with me. In 1984, you went to McDonalds and you got a playing card. You scratched it off and got a sport. If we won a gold medal, you got a free Big Mac. If we won silver, free fries. Bronze? A free soda I think. Think back to the 1984 Olympics though. It was in Los Angeles. The Soviets didn't show. We kicked butt. We were awash in Big Macs. It was the best summer ever. Give Americans free food riding on the cross-country skiing or luge outcome? They'll watch. It's free food! Bring on the curling and the ski jumping! Woo!
