Author Topic: Paralympics in SLC Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-12-2002 09:41 PM                     Don't know if I even spelled it right but some amazing stuff is going on even here. This weekend was the blind persons down hill ski competition. These skiers go down hill pretty much at full speed and have a guide on skis in front of them talking them down hill. One skier passed his guide up(really). Reports have him just passing Reno about an hour ago. No, just kidding on that one, but these folks really have guts. Makes the real Olympics competitors look like kids in kindergarten.

If I tried that I would only have one leg left! These guys are amazing. And did anyone notice how the medals for these guys ACTUALLY look like olympic medals? The ones for the "regular" olympians looked like piles of dog crap that someone painted whatever color and stamped em.

There will be 12 simultainous launch sites. 6 from medals plaza and another 6 located in a circle around the city! This should relly be a bang!

Babysitting for my sister while she was at work tonight. I seem to miss all the big parties, I think I need a life, forget a new one, I dont even have an old one to compare it with.
