Just a note to congratulate Switzerland's Simon Ammann on his remarkable achievement in winning 2 ski jumping Gold Medals, the first a stunning surpise victory and riveting to watch! So, wsieber, if you're looking in, here's to you! And if belligerentyouth is peeking in...just how many Gold Medals does Deutschland want?!!! Sheesh! Congrats on them all! And, of course, kudos to Australia's second-ever winter Gold! And nobody fell?

The suspended French skating judge to the press today: "The British judging-President made me do it, she beat me up!" Wh-wh-what!!! The British lady denies it, of course: "I haven't the slightest clue what she's talking about," she replied. (just when you thought it was safe to watch the rest of the Olympics)

<off-topic again> but then considering how many topic variations these threads have how does one judge this
hev, when are you going to add your pic to Max's photo gallery? I for one would truly like to see what a happy little vegemite looks like!
Well, according to the ads I've seen on tv, happy little vegemites are black and white children with very rosy cheeks. (See picture about half way down the page on the right at this link.)

And if you want to be able to hear and sing the "Happy Little Vegemites" song:

So ... I guess you won't need a photo now!

Heyyyy, that jar looks suspiciously like the Kraft Peanut Butter Bear. Is the Vegemite made by Kraft?

Scandal! Yes, Vegemite is made by Kraft, and the reason I say scandal is that when Kraft bought Vegemite all of Australia was up in arms about an Aussie Icon being produced by an American company.
Another Aussie Icon [tongue firmly placed in cheek] Dick Smith then decided to produce an Australian version, called Mighty Mite (or something like that) and try to convince Australia to keep our Dollars (worth the little that they are) out of the hands of those e-vil USns . Let's just say it hasn't taken off as well as he would have liked. There's a lot to be said for branding. I still buy Vegemite.
