Well, we are just totally dominating these games. Wouldn't surprise us to see the US take down Canada in hockey, even. America, f*ck yeah.

Last night...

Evan Lysacek won the gold in Men's Figure Skating. People probably think this is a bigger deal than we think it is. That's what NBC told us, anyways.

Julia Mancuso won silver in the Women's Super Combined. She's super. That one hot skier was first after the downhill, but crashed in the slalom. We forgive her though. You know why.

Hannah Teter and and Kelly Clark(son?) won silver and bronze, respectively, in the women's halfpipe. After Shaun White's performance Wednesday night, this event seemed a little lackluster.

Keep up the good work, America.

Remember world: we're better than you.

As promised, avid reader d_w has come through and provided us with video for the Zombie Kill of the Month.

It's usually just a weekly thing, but this was so huge it deserved an entire month. After the jump...

Whew, that was harsh.  Almost a full day not in front of the medal count.  Thankfully we kicked ass and took names today because we jumped the Germans and are out to a commanding 4 medal lead.  Here are the most Americanist people of the day:

Gold: Womens downhill - Lindsey Vonn

Men's snowboarding halfpipe - Shaun White (who fucking KILLED it)

Speedskating men's 1000m - Shani Davis

Silver: Women's downhill - Julia Mancuso

Bronze: Men's nowboarding halfpipe - Scotty Lago

Speedskating men's 1000m - Chad Hedrick

Following the jump, we provide sensible, well-thought-out analysis of last night's game. Just like real journalists should...

Sonofabitch.  Well Lindsey Jacobellis shat the bed again for America.  She got her ass DQed because she hit a damn gate.  That and we have no chance whatsoever in biathlon and all the other events for medals today.  But at least our men's and women's hockey teams won.  Men beat the Swiss 3-1 and the women beat the Ruskies 1-2.  Wait that doesn't make sense, hold on.  Ohhhh, ok, my bad.  The women didn't beat the Russians 1-2.  They beat them 12-0.  I was close.   The Russians were not.

In other news, the Hokies beat Wake Forest (Ranked 25th!) at home 87-83.  Boo yah bitches.  If we don't make the NCAA tourney, I say we go all West Virginia on the NCAA and burn the shit out of their "couches".  Interpret that as you will.

So as we end the day in Olympics competition, we lose the top medals place to zee Germans, who haf veys uff making us talk. Hopefully tomorrow, we take that right back.  Our best hopes are the women's downhill (Vonn, Mancuso, McKennis, and Cook) and men's halfpipe snowboard (US men are predicted/expected to fill the podium).  We'll see how it turns out.

Huge game tonight on ESPN2. The Hokies are looking to stay undefeated at home against #23 Wake Forest.

With the Olympics going on right now, there's really only one way to go with this...

Snowboarder Seth Wescott. He's so pimp, he wins gold medals in jeans.

LET'S GO HOKIES!!

Two more medals added to our total last night.  Germany is catching up, but methinks they don't have the medal-ing potential to the extent that Amerika does.  Last night Shani Davis dropped out of the men's 500m sppedskating second race, which came as a surprise, until it was clarified that he only entered the race to get himself some practice for his bread and butter event, the 1000m.  Oh yeah he is the defending world champion and current record holder for that race.  So I think he made a decent choice.  Anyways, here are our new most patriotic people:

Gold: Men's Snowboard cross - Seth Wescott

Bronze: Men's downhill - Bode Miller

Tonight, the only thing worth watching is the women's snowboard cross.  We have some pretty awesome and pretty hot ladies competing in that event, and hopefully the finals are chock full of Americans.  USA! USA! USA!

So that whole Snoverfield thing happened here in DC, and you humble editor did not have to work at all last week. Being stuck at home meant lots of free time, but a terrible computer from which to post.

Please accept my deepest apologies for the lack of posting this past week. Kegs don't drink themselves.

A few things we discovered over the past week...

• Tech basketball is legit. Seriously, 20-4??? Sure the schedule has been weak, but 20-4?!?! No one saw that coming. We are now sitting just outside the top 25. Beat Wake Forest on Tuesday night, and we might actually be ranked. RANKED I TELL YOU!!


• Being snowed in for 7 days meant one thing (well, besides drinking constantly): regular Nintendo. Has anyone played Mario Bros. 3 recently? How in the hell did we ever beat that game when we were ten? It took 5 hours.


• Speaking of Mario Bros. 3, is there any more worthless item than that stupid music box thing? Give me a freaking mushroom or something.

• Also related to video games, if you have a Wii, go get Cabela's Big Game Hunter and accompanying sniper rifle. It will change your life.

And that's as deep as our thoughts go for the week. There was probably more, but three kegs later, we can't really remember anything else.

So we got two more medals tonight: a silver and a bronze.  The golds are still elusive to us, but you can bet your sweet ass we will be getting more.  Our total is up to 6 now.

Anyways, the most patriotic people of the day are:

Silver: Nordic Combined - Johnny Spillane (and our first medal in this sport EVER!)

Bronze: Men's freestyle moguls - Bryon Wilson

Also let it be known: Canada stopped being pathetic and got their first gold medal on their home turf in the Olympics: Alexandre Bilodeau, men's freestyle moguls.  So congrats to you guys up north.  To be honest, the Mrs. and I were cheering for them almost as hard as we were cheering for our guys.  It's like letting your little brother/sister win one every so often, just to make them feel better about themselves.

So as we all know the Olympics started yesterday/today and each day (or at least when we remember to) we will be posting the medal count to watch America's awesomeness be shown through how much gold, silver and bronze we can get around our necks.  Today, we lead the pack with four medals:

Gold: Freestyle skiing womens moguls - Hannah Kearney

Silver: Short track speedskating men's 1500 - Apolo Ohno

Bronze: Freestyle skiing womens moguls - Shannon Bahrke

Short track speedskating men's 1500 - JR Celski

So there you go.  USA USA USA!

Oh yeah, we beat UVA tonight, too.  Fuck, we're awesome.
