Just Ask Oldguy

There were many great moments:

• the giant electric bear in the opening ceremonies; as a person whose first ever paying job was doing theatre lighting, I must say that the opening ceremony lighting was fantastic.
• being in the crowd downtown one evening.
• the crowd singing “Oh Canada!” so well so many times.  It really is the best anthem of all.
• when Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won the ice dancing pairs gold medal; that lift with Tessa kneeling on Scott’s back was amazing.
• when Joannie Rochette won the women’s figure skating bronze medal.  Actually, watching her short program was the best part of this part.
• the best of all was, after all, the men’s hockey game.  After all, just winning that one means we won the winter Olympics, right?  For the record, I believe that when you’re counting who won the most medals, you should count actual medals.  So pairs figure skating counts as two medals, 4-man bobsled counts as 4 medals, etc.  Under my modified (but most logical) system, Canada kicked ass on everyone.

Still, there was one even better moment.  It was when I received this graph, which explains so much about Canada:
