To get around the IOC's draconian licensing rules, The Colbert Report called its Vancouver 2010 Olympic shows: "Exclusive Vancouverage of the 2010/Quadrennial Cold Weather Athletic Competition/Defeat the World! " It's very similar to what LuluLemon called its non-authorized clothing line: "Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition"

At the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" volunteers were handing out souvenir towels. It might be a "tea towel" in reference to the Tea Party. It might be a towel we were given so we wouldn't panic, in reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It might be so that we would have one available if we decided to "throw in the towel" and give up. Who knows... No, seriously, who knows? Leave a comment, please :)
