Hello, Sneakers, it’s another episode of Sneaky Dragon – although I suppose that’s why you’re here. We just want to stress that it is Episode 116 – Episode one one six. This week there is a lot about the Olympics: Dave crows about two gold medals won by Canada on the day of recording; he also talks about one of his favourite parts about the Olympics, the incredible selflessness and sportsmanship on display during the games. Also discussed: Dave’s piss-poor math abilities; Ian isn’t a fraidy-cat; Dave’s piss-poor name remembering abilities (that Canadian Olympic curler was named Jennifer Jones, which is a long way from Heather, Dave); Ian and David would make terrible teammates; silver is the worst Olympic medal, says Dave – Ian pooh-poohs; they describe the Olympics orgy party (for gold winners only); Ian tells us how the wolf tricked the shepherds; Dave bought a couple of Drawn and Quarterly’s John Stanley books and he’s a little iffy about Seth; they ask: do bees have knees?; Dave’s terrible, Noah-like flood is described; and finally, it’s Dave’s birthday.
Thanks for listening.

“Happy Brithday! Dave.” Frosty’s last words
Happy belated birthday! Your birth date is very easy to remember. Was that planned?
Yes, my parents planned my conception very carefully in the back of a car. I almost spoiled their plans though, but arrived at five to midnight on February 22, 1966 – thus proving that my habitual procrastination is genetic.
Cars were bigger back then. It could have been the front seat, or a blanket-lined trunk. You should ask them, ideally at a large family dinner.
