| Brenda: Well, they didn't. Norway is now on top. The Nordic countries tend to do better in the Winter games I think because they put such an emphasis on sports when kids are in school. The summer games feel that way for sure. I think for these Winter games it will be a Nordic country that gets the most. Findland, Norway, Sweden. |

| 6ixStringJack: Wow... I can't really imagine that they keep it up, but it would be cool to see some small european country win the thing. Does that alraeady happen sometimes? I haven't paid attention in decades. To me it seemed like it was always between America/Russia/China and everyone else was just there for funzies and to compete against each other. I'm not saying other countries didn't go home with some golds and a boatload of medals too, but it would make sense that the superpowers with the largest populations and money pools would take it all. It was why they put the salary cap on Baseball so the NY Yankees wouldn't outspend everyone else 10-1 |
| Brenda: Okay, just told Janyzestown to take his garbage somewhere besides my Olympic thread. I don't want pollution in there. |
Brenda: A couple of good movies I've been rewatching are "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" and there are two of those. They are hilarious.  |
| Brenda: It probably was written for the movie and they hired a singer to preform it. And she did do that well. I saw the music video somewhere. |
| Brenda: I got that it was seduction from the lyrics too. But it was a good song. |
| Brenda: Probably a lot of people know what movie that song is from. It was just one of those songs that hung around for a good while. |
| Brenda: I vaguely remember when Zoolander came out. Not my bag though I did see "Meet the Parents" and those were funny. |
| Brenda: No, look at my post. So far just terrible. No, not China. Last time I looked Finland was or Italy was in the lead. Italy would make sense it is their home turf. |
| 6ixStringJack: I would have to imagine somebody wrote it for her because I believe she was a few years younger than I was, and I might have just turned old enough to drink when it came out. I have a hard time believing that words like that came out of a mind so young. Not due to a lack of intelligence, but from a lack of experience. |
| 6ixStringJack: It's not a love song. It's a song of seduction. Of a woman who is letting her future lover know that they will be lovers, but not because she needs to force anything. Only because it's inevitable. She's the moonlight, and he can't fight it. And once she breaks him down enough to kiss him, the only fighting he'll be doing is for her. It's as well-written a song as it is preformed and produced. I wonder if Rhymes wrote it herself or if somebody wrote it for her. |
| 6ixStringJack: I knew that "Can't Fight the Moonlight" came right from that sountrack without you telling me about it. It is a good song. One of the last "love" songs that I liked over the years, before my age kicked in and things like that didn't impress me much anymore. It's got that "That" for sure in the chorus and just the overall vibe, especially at the end when it's kicked up a notch, but this is one of those songs I'm talking about when I talk about "Chorus" people. You've probably heard it enough to really know them by now. |
| 6ixStringJack: That's what I mean about that movie. It's so strange I would know this much about it having never seen it. I think it may have come out the same summer that Zoolander did. I saw that movie and liked it and probably know just as much about Coyote Ugly. |
6ixStringJack: Who's winning, Brenda? If I can't root for Canada either, I at least need somebody to root against. I'm hoping it's not China or Russia at the top of the boards right now.  |
| Brenda: I will just give me a bit of time. Okay but I do try to be careful as I don't with operating systems know what is what. |
| Brenda: I guess. I never saw and I think you are right. The bar in the movie was called the title of the movie and all the lead actresses worked there. |
| Brenda: Thanks. Maybe I will then. I am just hoping we don't get creamed. Between you and me, neither of us is doing great right now. |
| 6ixStringJack: You're a child with an IQ of 20, Theodore. |
