Honestly, I love the Olympics. I really do, and I find most Canadians to be charming people. However, the Closing Ceremony for the 2010 games have just left me FLOORED. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Actual tears. It was fantastic. I think I scared the neighbors.
Here’s a few of the good pictures.
Michael Buble with some of Canada's finest
It starts innocently enough. Michael Buble and some sexy Mounties. You can’t go wrong, right? Who doesn’t like sexy mounties?
Sexy Mounties! Yes please!
They’re sexy. They’re Mounties. They’re sexy mounties! So far, so good!
I like Buble. I'm man enough to admit it. I like Sexy Mounties more.
It’s like a bad version of a Canadian USO show. But still, I was there, I could put up with Buble and sexy Mounties, I really could. But… but then….
An Army of Mounties. And Giant. Inflatable. Mounties. YES!
Is that an army of Mounties? Yes it is. Are they being led by Giant. Inflatable. Mounties? Yes. Yes they are.
And a giant shall lead them.
Preparing for when they’re invaded by the Macy’s Day Parade.
"Statues" my ass. They're Giant. Inflatable. Mounties.
Oh, this is just terrific. I thought there’d be no way they could top this…
Giant. inflatable. Beaver. OH YES!
Wait. What? Oh, you’re kidding me. Is that… is that a Giant Inflatable Beaver? W.T.F.
How do you top a Giant. Inflatable. Beaver? With a Beaver in a canoe, of course.
You’re kidding me. And is that Beaver in a canoe? Oh, now you’re just messing with me Canada. Very funny.
Moose and Beaver!
SHATNER!

[...] The NCAA tournament selection committee? That’s next week. The NFL Draft? Next month. The giant inflatable beavers of Vancouver? Excellent guess, but no. I’m talking about the 2010 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. [...]
