Very nice!

This is a good lesson for anyone who was unsure if the internet is a good source or not.

One of the commentators on the thread remarked that if the Canadian team won, the Organizer would probably have played the theme from "Hockey Night In Canada.

To be fair, when I was in SLT at St-Jean there were a few Kazakh officers in the International side.  Great guys to drink with.  But, every time I passed by them I had a strange urge to hum the Borat theme song.  :blotto:
