McDonald's Readies for Games Operations, Lenovo Auctions Olympic ...
At the six-month out mark to the Beijing Games, McDonald's reports that building, staffing and promotions for August 2008 are well underway.
Construction has already begun on one of the four official McDonald's Olympic restaurants. By Games-time, there will be one in the Olympic Village, another at the Main Press Center, and two on the Olympic Green.
The 1,300 employees who will staff the restaurants have already been selected. The Olympic Champion Crew were chosen from McDonald's locations worldwide. They will be invited to blog about their experience, continuing a program begun in Turin.
Under a new program, McDonald's will bring 300 children – a third of them from mainland China – to Beijing to experience the Games and the city sights. The company has collected childrens' artistic and writing submissions to decide who will win the Olympic tickets.
Uncle Eddie was Mr Rugby League – who believed in telling it like it was!
LOVE him or hate him, the late Eddie Waring MBE was “Mr Rugby League". But his comic style of television commentary spiced with “up 'n' unders" and “early baths" wasn't everybody's cup of tea. Eddie was often blamed for giving rugby league ‘a cloth cap and pigeons' image to millions of viewers down south. Being Eddie Waring – The Life and Times of a Sporting Icon tells Eddie's story in the warts 'n' all way he'd have wished. Author Tony Hannan admits: “To those of a certain age, Eddie Waring's trademark trilby and contorted vowels conjure golden memories of 1970s light entertainment: an era in which a humble rugby league commentator with a comical accent could line up alongside stars such as Morecambe & Wise. “At the height of his success, Waring was regularly referenced on Monty Python's Flying Circus and imitated by impressionist Mike Yarwood, and he co-hosted ratings smash It's A Knockout.
Who wins, and loses, in the hunting/fishing games?
Sparrow apparently doesn't want to talk about fishing tournaments in the coyote-hunt discussion below. But I do. Are walleye tournaments a bad thing? Are they bad for angling? For walleyes? For the anglers who don't compete, but simply want to fish the same lake? How about bass tournaments, and those roaring rides across southern lakes, with men in well-advertised jump suits cranking 2-pound bass across the surface and stuffing them in the live well? Good for the sport? Not good? Doesn't matter? Does competition and festivity turn serious outdoor hook-and-bullet sport into barbaric play, as Sparrow suggests in the coyote derby discussion? How about these pheasant-hunting contests, where teams rush through meadows and blast half-dizzy, stocked birds for points? Is that hunting? Is that bad for the image of hunting? Or is it simply another case of "to each his own"? .
