If You're Online, You Can Be In Vancouver, Too

​The unbridled passion. The raw emotion. The shattered dreams. The unlikely victory despite injury. The unexpected heroes. The unexplained delays in award ceremonies and ensuing bitchy commentary. The desperate tears shed after tragic, untimely crashes during downhill practice runs. The attempted -- and successfully landed! -- triple salchows, peppered with Scott Hamilton's obnoxiously triumphant shrieks that make you bawl with joy. The sheer, unadulterated glee on a skater's face that follows the end of the long program.

You know it, baby. It's wintertime (sort of) in Vancouver. It's 2010, that's for sure. And by golly, it's Olympics time, friends. We know that all you really wanna do is pop a deep squat on the sofa in your pajamas, smack dab in front of your television, a hot toddy in hand, and weep tears of joy for every athlete branded with that look of determination on his or her post-pubescent face. But when your micromanaging boss, your squealing dog, or your whining children don't quite see it that way, and you're absolutely obligated to do something
other than that, don't lose the faith -- you can follow practically all of the amateur action online. And none of it will be blocked by your Safe Search filter.

If Social Distortion didn't tell you how to satiate your gold-medaled desires, we'd be bad, bad technology misers indeed. So, here we are, passing the torch your way.
