Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) It's a huge story in the news right now. Russia allocated 50 BILLION dollars to renovate the Sochi area to accommodate the Olympics and here are the results. Post other horror stories you have been reading. Whose brilliant idea was to have the Olympics in Russia?Thirsty?Hungry? Try the fresh honey.Want to get that crap out of your body? Think before you flush.Great hotel accommodations: Sochi hotel room - no wifi, tv, heat, working lock on front door or shower curtain. BUT, I've been told I have one of the nicer rooms? Dan Wetzel of Yahoo has a trade offer on the table... To anyone in Sochi: I am now in possession of three light bulbs. Will trade for a door handle. This offer is real: Edited February 5, 2014 by Favre4Ever 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted February 6, 2014 Oh god. That snow sign. That HAS to be a fake. Please tell me that is a fake. the fact that it's entirely in English does make you wonder (unless the Russian version is above it and was cropped out) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted February 8, 2014 I'd say the snow pic is legit just from the site it's from, but I could be wrong. https://twitter.com/JohnnyQuinnUSA/status/432080704776962048 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) That guy was a former NFL player.... Well, he tried.

Bucman 891 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) This whole olympics has been a shame. A side from all the media stuff that has been posted. The courses are utter shit.
