My mom and Aunt used to volunteer at COP so I've seen it all, I've been to the top of the Ski-Jump (I did not go down it), I competed in downhill skiing for years but I'm not insane, I never went off the Jump.
What a great movie.
I will always remember chatting with one of my old accounting Professors, he was from Ghana and the U of C convinced him to come and teach here, but they courted him in June and he showed up in December to "What. The. Fata??"
And I told him to watch that movie.
"You people are insane."

The professor you're talking about, is it Abu?
"Peanut butter costing!!!"
and for that December story you're talking about, there's also the later part where he says he quickly tries to run in between buildings and ends up staring that the sky after slipping on ice.
Funny. I remember telling him to watch Cool Runnings as well. He responded that many people had told him to watch that movie over many years but he hadn't gotten around to watching it yet.
