Well the Fat Lady did't sing yet.

But with seven out of ten events decided, the Jingoistic Scoreboard looks like this:

Nation Total Gold Silver Bronze Germany 5 2 1 2 Nederlands 5 1 2

Well looks like I get to win again. Being a jingoistic German American, who has lived there, and
supports everything except the current govt. which makes Bushie look good. I get to win the Tour and
Worlds.. Oh, Life's tough. I'm just sorry Udo didn't get selected to work for the leaders as his
last race. Cool that he got to retire at home though. Bill C

A weighted scoring system would be something like, multiply the following factors:

gold : 5 silver: 2 bronze: 1

men : 10 women : 5
U23: 3 Jr: 1

Road: 3 ITT: 1

In other words, the party's barely begun.

Hmmmm. And thinking about Opera, did I ever give you Davey's quick guide to the Opera - any
Opera almost?

Well the Tenor tries to Bonk the Soprano or Mezzo.

But the Barritone keeps getting in the way.

Then around the middle of the last act, the Soprano either dies or gets killed by the Tenor.

Then the Fat Lady sings.

Then the whole cast show up on stage and the audience throw flowers at them, or rotten eggs or
whatever, depending upon how they ranked the performance.

Then the Soprano sings another aria for an encore.

Then the whole cast takes off to a swank hotel to guzzle Bubbly.

I looked at weighting it Dan, both gender wise and metallurgically.

But the way it's unfolding right now, you don't need weights to see who are the Winnerz and who are
the Wankerz.

And as for OZ, unless they pull a Rabbit out of the Hat today or tomorrow, they'd better go pull a
Lazarus on Charly Walsh. Charlee mighta bin the biggest [censored] Van Diemans Land ever produced, but
his squad sure came home with the Bacon.

Not on the road (not that Charlie had much to do with the road anyway). And the track squad hasn't
done too badly since he left.
