and surnames ending in -sky. 

You mean -ski, Douchbagski.

Rio would be cool.  I don't know how the athletes are going to compete without their kidneys though.

I'm all for Rio.  Great city and it should easier for them because they're hosting the World Cup in 2014, so the Rio stadiums will be all nice and renovated.

It's often written both ways.  In fact, I've known people named both Sikorsky and Sikorski.

Tokyo... well, only 8 years after Beijing? Again, I don't think they have got many chances. Personally I would love to see how would the Japanese organize them (high jump for robots under 20 tons? ) but I don't see it happening any time soon.

The Daily Telegraph has images of all four cities - three of them show the plans advanced for the games site with computer generated images. The Tokyo picture is a city view as Tokyo is now - with the recently completed life size model of the RX-78 Gundam occupying about a fifth of the view!

Probably just depends on who was working at Immigration the day their ancestors got off The Boat...

If it's Chicago, the opening ceremonies will feature tons of old guys with potbellies and surnames ending in -sky.

It does work both ways.  I have relatives who spell the same name with a -ski.

Ukes.

I just read breaking news that Chicago has been eliminated.

[Ed Anger]

Awesome. Fuck Chicago.

[Maximus]

Typically I've seen Ukrainians spell it -sky and Poles -ski, but that is by no means universal.

Obama has been outmaneuvered again.

It's Madrid, Samaranch has spoken. When a president through 20 years begs on his life that the games come to his country, the game will come to his country.
