I read about this too..I think its great because its a way for all Croatians from around the world to get together and meet up with each other. Its also a great way for the Croatians in Croatia to get to know the diaspora a bit. It should be fun...The Jewish people have been doing this for years. They call it the Macabi games and I have a friend that represented the US in basketball at the event. He says its something great and that us Croatians will love it.

Just wondering? Will sleeping, drinking, and being lazy be events in these games? If so, there will be no clear cut winner. To close to call!

By the way, nows our time to form a curling team. We'll be ready for the 2010 Winter games.

That would be funny...can you imagine how they will measure the close calls? A belt? A tree branch? Some guy taking steps with his feet? or with their fists..I can picture it, the guy gets down close to the ice, makes a fist, and starts the count: "Jedan, dva, tri, i dva prsta."

How about marathon speedwalking? I hear there were some ex citizens of Croatia from around Knin who were excellent in this discipline.

there you have it - your best post ever.

absolutely made my night man, good job.

Yeah, that was hilarious, and the thing is, that's exactly what would happen.

But take it easy on curling guys, I know it looks boring but trust me it's fun when you play it.

Cheers

Hercegovci would win Kamena s' ramena hands down. Everytime a Lican throws it, the rock lands on his foot.
