Another day, another disappointing third-place finish to the the mayor of Hope. How he ever won over Barry Penner in the Freestyle Hand Shaking competition is beyond me. Barry Penner is practically a pro! And who is that in second place, and how did she beat Barry Penner too?

I blame the French judge.

Barry Penner puts in a solid performance, but still fails to get beyond the bronze medal position. Chuck Strahl squeaks by for the silver and Hope Mayor Laurie French is miles ahead with an easy gold.

The event? The 1500 meter ‘dress like somebody’s grandpa’. Honestly, it’s not Barry Penner’s best event; his heart just isn’t in it.

Barry Penner may not be an Olympic athlete, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t stood atop a podium or two in his day. He always tries for the top spot, but naturally, he sometimes has to settle for Silver or Bronze. But that’s alright. Barry Penner knows that it isn’t the color of the medal that is important, it’s the fact that you are Barry Penner.  And Barry Penner always gets a Gold in that event.

In case you weren’t paying attention… it’s time for theme week. And in case you really weren’t paying attention, this week’s theme is Barry Penner’s Podium Finish. You know, because of the Vancouver Olympics and all that (man, you DEFINITELY haven’t been paying attention).

Barry Penner could have been one of the Olympic torch-bearers, but he decided against it. He’d much rather stand on the sidelines and clap respectfully. Barry Penner isn’t one to hog the center of attention.

I’d like to apologize to all the loyal Barry Penner followers for getting this post up so late. In my defense, I am sick. I’ve come down with a little thing called Olympic fever. I spent all day yesterday coughing, hacking, and watching CTV; it was terrible. However, it seems that I am not alone. Barry Penner may not be going to any Olympic events, but that doesn’t mean he’s not celebrating Canada’s games. He’s throwing his own party, and everyone is invited:

“This is another way to celebrate the 2010 Winter Games,” said Environment Minister Barry Penner. “We welcome everyone to drop by SFU or BCIT to check out the cabins.”

(…)

The cabins will highlight BC Parks, and also have information about Climate Action policies, Water Stewardship, and Environmental Protection initiatives with brochures, posters, children’s games, and videos.

- Ministry of Environment News Release

What better way to celebrate the international spirit of sporting brotherhood and competition than by going out to BCIT and checking out a cabin! Environmental Protection initiatives are the new gold medals, after all!
