Well said! (And you got the handle spelled right.

I would be in the same boat... if Venezuela ever hosts an Olympics (that's a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening) I could qualify under the same rules as the Greeks have done, as my mother's Venezuelan and I qualify for an olympic team. (Not that it will ever happen, as I'm pushing 40 and beer-chugging is not (yet) an Olympic sport!
)
