XXth Winter Olympiad | Torino 2006

The Olympics are coming! I don't know why we get so caught up in the games each time they come around, but Tammy and I totally veg out for two weeks when they are on. This year the winter Olympics are in Torino, Italy and will begin in just over two months (64 days to be exact...).

The mascots look a little strange if you ask me...

Sort of like two marshmallows on gumby-esque bodies. The one tooth in the middle of the mouth needs some explaining as well. Check out the video on the website to see how they came to life one day.

I do love the torch though. Technologically advanced and ergonomic in it's design. I'd love to have one just to hold while watching the Olympics...

Of course that's probably more than you wanted to know about me...
