I mean, I get the (minor) play on words with the intended use of the product, but a better name could have been concocted, no?<br />How about, "Hey, and here comes the Richler or the Quarrington (or even the BEST, "...and now the <b>King Leary</b> takes to the ice")".<br />But.. "Resurfice"?<br />Come on, WP, that is one lame-o name....IMHODarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-38592439591220489352010-02-18T20:17:55.522-05:002010-02-18T20:17:55.522-05:00Well ... the Brits are doing what they do best, of...Well ... the Brits are doing what they do best, of course.

Did they forget that they're hosting the Summer Olympics shortly and that the potential for S?!t hitting the fan in London is fairly high.

Well, I think the folks in Vancouver, in genral, have handled it all pretty well.<br /><br />No only if that damned NBC coverage could improve and hockey games were telecast more, I'd be a happy camper.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-13349163378956652852010-02-17T21:34:25.659-05:002010-02-17T21:34:25.659-05:00Thanks.
