but but but @markusoff has so many witty glib points to make, both in reference to the Verified freezeout and current events. Any longer and he might start talking to his family as a fallback option.
I know you've all asked yourselves: how would @Calgary88Live vote if vintage Twitterbots could legally vote?
NO.
NOBODY SHALL ONE-UP ME, IN 2026, 2051 OR OTHERWISE.
this Olympic hangover is KILLING ME, just as they warned it would. The eight Paralyzers that I drank may have added to it.
It's been a privilege & treat to share this live-tweeting with you all. Merci beaucoup and good night, @Calgary88Live (aka Jason @Markusoff)
Couldn't have done this, of course, without our stellar roster of @calgaryherald editors and reporters. Thanks so much to all of them/you.
I'd like to personally thank the many 88Live followers who shared photos & memories. And athletes like @brianboitano @karenpercy @leegartner
A giant thank you to all those of you who joined us over these 16 days. Canada didn't win Gold, but wow did Calgary throw a great party.
Crowd is leaving McMahon Stadium now. Flame's out, smoking rows of planes home all booked. So... I guess it's time for 88Live to sign off.
Fireworks! Was one impressive minute of pyro. Pick and a preview of Herald's front page & @DonMartinCTV story: wp.me/p1IkT4-f0h
Watch this (with new lyrics) for the volunteer choir, but also to get a sense of the sea of candles #cantyoufeelit choir
Everybody from other production numbers is coming out now... oldtimey costume folk, Hidy, Howdy, everyone. I CAN FEEL IT, Calgary. I CAN.
Oh boy. heeeeere comes the #cantyoufeelit choir! song by @officialdfoster & Tommy Banks.
A blast. Missed that live? from my Tandy Replay app, here's the video replay of @kdlang's tune: youtu.be/sxsUc6EdeRQ
Nice. Here's @kdlang, the best li'l rockabilly singer. "Alberta's rose." All the athletes are leaving their seats to dance.
Back to @kevincottam's production numbers. inevitably, the cowboy skating scenes!
