Torino 2006 Winter Games : You'll have to insert your own epithets...

My Uncle fred called from Chicago last night. he's a piece of work my Uncle Fred. 45 years of screaming in a press room will do that to you. Me:"Uncle Fred, What's up?" Uncle Fred:"Don't what's up me, I talked to your mom last night and I hear your written some stuff on the Lympics, calling it Torino. It's Turin ya beanbag, Torino's a crappy car Ford use to make. (He's a Chevy kinda guy) D'ya ever hear of the Shroud of Torino? God no, it's the Shroud of Turin ya sissy ***. God Damm boys in the press room gonna ride me again bout your pansy *** ways. What d'ya think, it was the ******* Romo Lympics? ya goof ball. Me:"Uncle Fred, have you been watching PTI again? You know Wilbon's right, it is their country and they call it Torino, so who are we to say otherwise, besides the whole World calls it Torino not Turin and it was called the Romo Olympics." Uncle Fred:Your a **** communist! Would be no lympics without the Good Ole USA, scumwad. Uncle Fred gets like that when he hasn't had his daily dose of vitamin B complex, Burger, Beer and a Bourban..... Here's your Torino Winter Games "Quick Zone Zingers" Torino Winter Olympics "Quick ZoneZingers" The weather forecast for Torino, Italy during the upcoming Winter Games (Feb. 10th-26th) doesn't look so winter like, Only a 1% chance of daily snowfall, a 16% chance of daily rain and temperatures expected to average in the upper 40's, perhaps they should consider renaming the Games the "Global Warming Games". The Salt Lake Games had a goal of 92% of the 1 Million Tickets available sold. No Problem, Done Deal. Torino, Italy has a goal of 82.5% of the 1 Million tickets available sold, with only 585,000 sold so far and only 28 Days until the opening ceremony lets hope the Italian Government finally approves the $3.6 Billion or so Torino Budget and with a $97 Million estimated shortfall and well the Italian Government being the Italian Government, don't hold your breath if your an Italian Olympic Contractor. Speaking of apathy does anyone really care if Dick Buttons is making his NBC Olympic Figure Skating announcing debut! I thought not. What's with the Torino Mascots, Him and Her? What the hell are those things and who the hell named them Neve and Gliz? Which one is which? Probably designed by the same people responsible for the ticket sales marketing plan! Gotta love Bode Miller, without his current drama would anyone in this country know how strong the U.S. Olympic Ski Team really is? I didn't. 60 Minutes, Bode, What were you thinking? They never have any of their guest's best interest at heart. Should have given your interview to John Stoussel or perhaps Baba Waawaa! Michelle Kwan is petioning the U.S. Figure Skating Committee to be placed on the 3rd available Olympic spot and possibly knock out a qualifier from this weekends U.S. Nationals. Hey, it happened before, remember Nancy Kerrigan, the poor Lass who was attacked and injured with Tanya Hardings blessings, being put on the 94 Lillehammer Team despite missing the qualifying. Guess who she bumped from that team? If you correctly answered Michelle Kwan you have way to much time on your hands or a really good sense of irony! One more, than I have go. Telemundo is about to rebroadcast the U.S. vs Romania Curling pre-Torino warm up match. Oh, never mind ....
