Re: Any predictions on where the Olympics will go? (none / 0)

LOL. For the word "Carpetovetonic", your comment is N° 2 in Google.

I think this is the way to organize the Olympics. It could become a kind of Eurovision Song Contest. We could have voting scandals on the Jurassic dandruff etc. The Eastern bloc would get up to its usual tricks, and no one would ever vote for America, which would cause high melodrama. Great.

I also hold #2 for Carpetovetonian.

I get you at No.7, but all but one of those ahead of you are in Spanish.
