[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Adding to the loonie story, it was the American news people who screwed up and put a $2 coin - the toonie, as we call it - on their news reports. The toonie is the one with the silver ring around a golden centre. Our $1 coin is a solid golden colour, with a Canadian loon on the tails side, hence the name. [Insert random dumb joke about Canadian vs. US currency here. Be creative.] It was nuts here in Calgary. People poured out into the streets at taverns all over the place, we had to shut down 4th Ave for a while for the impromptu parade, and the huge party from the Canadian Olympic Park (where most Canadian athletes, and many American and international Olympians train) was filled with hundreds of cheering fans who were watching the game at a special party there. Equally entertaining was the reception we gave 80+ returning athletes this morning at the airport. Most of them hadn't slept the night before, partying at the closing ceremonies and various locations around Salt Lake City, then leaving for the airport at 2:00am for the flight back here. Then when they got off the plane eight hours later, they had to deal with a big welcoming party at the airport. A notable fraction of the athletes were wearing "Get lost, I wanna SLEEEEEEP!" looks on their faces as they were drowned by fans and media people. :) Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
