That Time When Lithuania Exchanged Points Left, Right and Center...
 
2015 Open was one of the most memorable editions of TISC. It was the last time to date that Ireland played host. It was the last edition held on the old forum. And it was the only time that Lithuania took victory, thanks to Song About Love, performed by Leon Somov & Jazzu. Song About Love, interestingly, to this day remains to be the only winning entry that had a perfect points distribution. In a nutshell, it means they received each possible points score during the Grand Final, from 1 through 12.
 
However, one thing that always gets overlooked from the said edition are the Lithuanian jury votes. They were as follows...
 
12 points - Australia
11 points - Morocco
10 points - Portugal
9 points - United States
8 points - Germany
7 points - Spain
6 points - Great Britain
5 points - Poland
4 points - New Zealand
3 points - Serbia
2 points - Slovakia
1 point - Malta
 
Amazingly, it turns out that Lithuania exchanged points with all these nations. They received 12 points from Australia, 11 from Morocco, 10 from Portugal, 9 from the United States, 8 from Germany, 7 from Spain, 6 from Great Britain, 5 from Poland, 4 from New Zealand, 3 from Serbia, 2 from Slovakia and 1 from Malta!
 
It is unclear whether any of these nations received any kind of compensation for exchanging points with Lithuania. However, inside sources claim that the TISC president @OlympicIRL and his team are planning to launch an investigation into the matter, which could result in serious consequences.
 
More to follow.
 
 

I have a theory about Iran-Iraq war. It is just my theory, so most probably it is horribly wrong but still, here it is. 
 
Shah was American ally and Saddam was Russian ally initially. Russia was able to install Khomeini and was even able to have a communist coup in Afghanistan. In India, as well in 1980, Indira Gandhi, Soviet ally, was back in power. So, the only American ally in the region was Pakistan. 
 
USA asked Saddam to attack Iran and promised him Kuwait as reward for doing so. Iran was distracted on its eastern front and couldn’t help Russia with logistics in Soviet–Afghan war severely crippling Soviets. USA was able to flood and supply Afghanistan with Mujahideens through Pakistan. And was hence able to win the war. USA then dithered on Kuwait to Iraq leading to US-Iraq war. 
 
Maybe Iran’s top leadership at that time really believed that they could annex a substantial portion of Iraq and hence kept on going. 

Surely this must be the first time that one singer is entered for both the Festival of Music and TISC proper.

Likewise, I don't feel old, but I can't pretend that time has passed, especially when someone points out that a song or movie appeared when I was in jr high or high school.

I don’t feel old but I’m definitely much older than you  

First snow of this Winter Spring.
 
Apparently it started snowing in Zagreb right about then.

Just like the Olympics.

With Séamus on my team then it's likely to be the "drunken sailor" class.

Where's that button when i want it....How dare you!

Happy Birthday @dezbee2008.My best wishes for you, enjoy this day 

Congrats, you get the potion of youth for guessing our dog's name.

Too bad you don't actually need it.

We all know @hckosice is destined to be on this team

No, surprisingly it's not a common pet name here

Imagine though if we really had 101 nations competing.

@OlympicIRL I guess I can update the second post.

As the resident virtual lawyer on the forum, I highly advise you @OlympicIRL that you politely, but firmly and promptly remove this minor canine from the scene.
 
 

 
 
It's PG schedule and @Olympian1010 parents or legal guardians might try to cancel the contest.
