This Billboard.

Saw this a few times - totally cracked me up!

Random Guy Riding a Unicycle in His Underwear

Yet another slightly creepy street performer. At least his socks match - kind of.

Canadian Flags hanging from ALL buildings.

Sometimes multiple flags. This one was a bit crude with the flag tied/stapled to an old 2 x 4. Mighty resourceful, those Canucks.

Shiny Silver Elvis

Street performers were around every corner. And some of them were a bit creepy.

Kid drawn lantern with Strong Bad on it.

The non-kid drawn lanterns made reference to these things being called luminaries. But they aren't. They are lanterns. Whatever the Canadians choose to call them, I hope the kid that drew Strong Bad on it knows just how cool a kid they are.

Crazy Canadians watching Hockey in the pouring rain.

More Crazy Canadians...this time watching the Canada vs. Russia Men's Hockey game outside in the pouring rain.. It started with a couple of hundred people and by the time I left there were SO MANY people watching the game that I couldn't get out of the amphitheater area to go catch the train back to Seattle. I felt like Inigo Montoya with the "Excuse me. Pardon me, it's important." and wished for Fezzik with his: "Everybody move!"

If I hadn't learned already by spending 2 days with Jon and his constantly looking for Hockey highlights: Canadians sure like their Hockey. Pouring rain, I tell you, POURING.

Crazy Canada Hats!

Not only the crazy Canada hats, but crazy Canadians with their faces painted and with flags tied around their necks or wearing the flags as jackets.

I don't remember this much USA stuff at the Salt Lake Olympics. But I could be wrong.

By the way: Hooray Canada! So excited you did so well.
