I wish the olympics didn't suck ass. I mean sure, the arials are damn cool. And back when they used to do the 16 man speedskating where there was a good shance that someone would take a blade in the gut, I'd watch that. But that's about it. I know there's a lot of you out there that will put up a stink about Hockey. Hockey isn't cool. This is a common misconception. When hockey players break into fights, that's cool. And the sound of hockey being played is far better than most sports (although nothing tops womens tennis). But the game itself? eh, not so much. My main gripe about Hockey: I can't see the damn puck. I'd have the same grip if basketballs were invisable. If you can't see the puck, you have a bunch toothless barbarians figure skating together.

Now, I know what you're saying--"Couldn't there be some way to use the technology that we as a civilization have created and modern brodcast technologies to, oh, i dunno, make the puck glow and thusly make it easier to follow the sport of Hockey?" Why funny you should ask. Yes. Yes we can. Somebody embeded a little microchip into a puck which allowed it to be surrounded by a light blue halo when broadcast on TV. This was pure genius. Suddenly the barbarians wer figure skating around, and in response to a blue glowy thing. And that my friends, is a sport worth watching.

Only problem is, the "actual sports fans" had a problem with seeing the puck for some reason, and bitched and moaned until the networks that broadcast hockey had to go back to the archaic form we see today. Can't say I understand it myself. Glowpuckaphobia.

So this blog goes out to you, glowpuck man, wherever you are.
