I had a milkshake the other day in MacDonalds (yes, I know they're not
made with actual milk).  They have a promotion, where if the US wins a
medal in the event that the sticker on your shake (or burger) shows,
then you win something.  I eagerly peeled back my sticker, and found
that I had a Big Mac riding on 74kg greco-roman wrestling.  Suddenly,
my interest in the sport was rekindled and I was very much interested
in American hopeful Gordy Morgan ---

Unfortunately, he seemed unlikely to medal since his best finish in
international competition was seventh place at the 1993 World
Championships.  My free Big Mac was in jeopardy.  But then
I remembered - hey!  I'm 74kg (well, a little bit less) and I'm
Polish-German (which is pretty damn close to Greco-Roman), so off to
Atlanta I went.  I promised to bring home the gold (or at least the
golden taste of a Big Mac).  I won my first match, but then lost my
next two (must be the steroids).  While I didn't come home bearing
gold, I was still a winner in NBC's eyes.  You may have caught the
in-depth spot about my struggles with vegetarians.

The low attendance in recent GSBs convinced GSB management to offer a
similar promotion.  Each bottle will have a peel-back sticker.  If NBC
broadcasts more than 30 seconds of the sport on your sticker - your
drink is free!

Join us at GSB to hear cries of "Damn!  Badminton again" or "Women's
Team Handball - I have a chance!"
