Like Getting Socks for Christmas...

At least, it seems that's how a large chunk of the good folk of Illinois feel about the idea that terrorists now housed at a facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, could be moved to the Thomson Correctional Center in the western part of the state.

I'm pretty sure they don't see this as a good substitute for the Olympics they were supposed to get in Chicago. Granted, a number of the gentlemen who might be housed at TCC might have some athletic feats in mind, such as the Exterior Fence Pole-Vault, the Underground Handmade Tunnel Endurance Crawl or the Multiple High-Velocity Projectile Obstacle Course Dodge.

But I believe the fanfare that accompanies Olympic sports might not be welcomed by the athletes practicing the above skills. In fact, I'd suspect they wouldn't even want anyone to know about the contests until well after they're over.
