Globe and Mail Project: #61, SPEED SKATING COWS DISQUALIFIED FOR TOO MANY LEGS

(click on image to view larger version)

Despite being crowd favorites at the Olympic Oval, speed skating
cows have been disqualified from competition. "It is impossible
to establish a level playing field in this event, since the two
extra legs give the cows a distinct advantage", said one IOC official.
A spokesman from VANOC added that the cow-pies on the ice and the
excessive levels of methane gas in the oval were not in keeping
with the "green" mandate of these games.

Adding to Vancouver's Olympic woes, panic stricken athletes,

residents, even wildlife fled the city today, after an

unnamed ice dancer with particularly nasty foot odour

removed her skates after the warm up at the Pacific Coliseum.

Olympic judges for Vancouver 2010 have been

instructed to pay strict attention to athletes

cellphone habits at this year's games.

and engage in texting or handheld phone use during

competition risk stiff fines or disqualification

from the games.

Globe and Mail Project: #25 WALL STREET EXEC'S OWN THE PODIUM

(click on image to view larger version)

Wall Street executives appointed themselves to the

US Olympic stair-climbing squad yesterday, making

them the first and only Olympians in the newest

demonstration sport.

The four bankers appealed successfully to the IOC,

claiming it was unfair that millionaire hockey players

were eligible for medals, while banking officials

were shut out of the Olympics completely.

As there were no challengers for the stair-climbing

event, the foursome immediately claimed their medals

at the podium then proceeded to the bar.

Welcome to day #25 of the Globe and Mail Project. Each day for three months I'll be taking the scissors and glue-stick to Canada's National Newspaper and editing it for your consumption. Feedback on Blogger or by email is welcome!

Globe and Mail Project: #16, TRICKY DICK REACHES FOR OLYMPIC GOLD IN VANCOUVER

(click on image to view larger version)

What happens when a disgraced US ex-president

rises from the ashes to clear his name, then chases

his dream of Olympic gold as captain of the Canadian bobsled team?

Dan Ackroyd IS Richard Nixon in CBC's rollicking new

mini-series, "DICKSLEDDING: VANCOUVER 2010".

*Best bobsled picture since "Cool Runnings".

-The Globe and Mail

This week's Illustration Friday topic is Renewal. In the 16th collage of my Globe and Mail Project, impeached and deceased President Richard Nixon gets a chance to clean up his besmirched image and rewrite his entry in the history books.

The Globe and Mail Project will continue Monday to Saturday for the length of my free Globe and Mail subscription. Each collage is made up of images from that day's newspaper. The supplementary text is courtesy of my Olivetti portable typewriter.
