Santulli Slant: It was called "Pong" at one time, and these "Olympics" include hundreds of variations on Pong, basically. I guess they couldn't do a pong version of track & field events, and who can forgive them for leaving out the equestrian or bicycling? The heartless bastards! Hey, it's just a few squares moving around, and a slightly smaller square moving between them, so don't get on my case about these numbers. [Gr: 1, So: 1, Ga: 4, Ov: 2].
