Oh, stop what your doing. Do not pass Go (CNBC) and proceed to b-may for the goodies on the olympic goings-on. I’m going to work for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Bryan is walking around with a walkie-talkie and a clipboard, making sure everything goes OK at the Speed Skating venue. reports his walkie talkie convos. His adventures start on January 30, so be sure to scroll down and work up.

Here’s a sampling: Answering a radio call, I walked over to the athlete entrance. As I got there, I was met by two, 5’6″ish, very tubby, Latin men who turned to me and, with cell phones pressed to their heads and tears rolling down their faces, said, “Can you take us to our brother.”

Another:

“We have a Port-A-John tipped over next to ticketing and it’s leaking. You might want to send someone to clean it up. Over.”[click]
[click] “Entry, is it leaking water or should we call this a bio-hazard. Over.”[click]
- beat –
[click] “It’s leaking whatever Port-A-Johns leak when you knock ‘em down.”

Get the rest of the Porta-John story by going to the February 11 entry (no permalinks).

Funny and vunderful (OK, my parents are in Sveden and I am on a V kick) stuff! [Link from Derek]
