Trivial "Olympic" Update


Here’s the recap of episode 33:

ThursdaysRTrivial is coming up after this PSA: Too much Grecian Formula can over Costasize your scalp. Use with Caution.

Andras Haklits ThursdaysRTrivial episode 33 “Winter Olympics Dawggy Style”. It’s time again for the Twitter Game Show that puts as much pep in your step as it does bob in your sled. REPLY back your answer for a chance at a fabulous prize. What three time NCAA nat’l champion will become the first Dawg to compete in both the summer and the winter Olympics on Saturday?

I expect by this time next year, we will see a lot more bobsleds on the University of Georgia campus. Mopeds are so 2009. And once Andras Haklits helps the Croatian bobsledders to the podium in Vancouver, this mode of transportation will take off like a North-South bus through a cloud of smoke on Sanford Bridge. You may remember that Haklits could really throw a hammer on campus nearly a decade ago. He’s also competed in Sydney, Athens and Berlin for the Summer games (that’s Athens, Greece…ya dummy). Word is he looks pretty good in a parka as well now that he’s in Vancouver.cool-runnings

Meanwhile for being first to tweet in, @TNRLM will be enjoying a special 17th year edition of Cool Runnings, undoubtedly the best bobsledding movie ever to grace the silver screen. The copy comes complete with Sanka Coffie’s autograph and a coupon to John Candy’s (aka Irv Blitzer) favorite hot dog stand. Sorry, you’ll have to provide your own popcorn.

Also tweeting in was @alanashley. He gets one of those cool beanie caps the Americans were wearing during the opening ceremonies. Should look good as he travels by bobsled to and from Stegeman. Speaking of which, check out these guys’ websites: Alan’s Assessments and The Non-sensical Ravings of a Lunatic Mind.

And if you’d like to get in on the act too Reader….finish this quote:

You see Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. He's the first to show up, and the last to leave. When his buddies are all out drinking beer, he's up in his room studying ___________________.

Free shout out in the Meatloaf if you get it right. Have a great weekend!
