  - i think 'unforeseen' may become my word of the month. it's speaking to me right now. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 11:22 3

hmm... so this is c**tcumber.. -- (link) - colin Nov 17, 11:16 6
- No, that's someone else. Someone who also got a chestpiece tat that apparently rivals c*ntcumbers. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 11:21 4
  - no, i think that's him.. he just added antlers to his chestpiece for some reason. -- nm - colin Nov 17, 11:24 3
    - " but the bar has officially been raised" implies c*ntcumber has been surpassed. That is someone new. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 11:28 2
      - I was wrong. Here's his livejournal page and the same tat pre-antlers. -- (link) - TWuG Nov 17, 11:32 1

- Summer Olympics (obvie, remember you are asking a discussion board full of Canadians) :-P -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 11:37
- I assume they're talking about either (or both together). - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 11:23
- i would assume both if not specified. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 11:23
- If I say "I'm having lunch with a friend this weekend", would you assume I meant Saturday or Sunday? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 11:20 1
  - [deleted]
- I would assume summer. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 17, 11:18 1
  - [deleted]
- Unless the Winter games were close, I'd default to Summer as an assumption. -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 11:18
- drinking olympics! (high five) -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 17, 11:17
- Either. Unless they put it in a context that implies a certain one. - TWuG Nov 17, 11:17 9
  - [deleted] 8
    - I'd think 'Winter'. - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 11:22
    - I'd think Summer, but now this makes me wonder what the warmest Winter city was, and the coldest Summer city. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 11:20 5
      - A joine Vancouver/Seattle bid is being considered for 2028, which would be the first time a city has hosted both winter and summer games -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 11:23 4
        
        I'd be shocked if they'd go back to the same city twice in 18 years; absent some catastrophe. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:26
        
        i can't imagine that happening in Vancouver again so soon. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 11:25
        
        I'd like to see a Portland/Seattle bid, personally... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 11:24 1
        
        and, of course, I'd like to see another NYC bid... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 11:32
    - To the Wikimobile! -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 11:19
- yeah, either, some friends are talking about the next one in Canada, its only refered to as 'olympics' and not winter - zeitgeist Nov 17, 11:17
- By default, Summer. Winter almost always mentions "Winter Olympics" -- nm - budice Nov 17, 11:17
- I would not assume they were only referring to one specific season. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 11:16
- Special. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 11:16
- The word refers to both. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 11:15 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - So obviously I wouldn't assume oen is meant. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 11:22 1
      - [deleted]
- depends on context....generally I would assume summer, unless there was a specific indication otherwise. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 11:15
