Opening ceremonies...

Uh, what the hell am I watching? Ceramic cows on rollerskates? Ballroom dancers with cowprint clothes? Burning ice skaters!

This is horrid!

:D

HEY! Spoiler tags man!!!


I like cows.

Hey - some of us live in other time zones

So far I'm loving it. The intro was great, and I'm loving the coverage of the training runs/last chance qualifying for downhill. Gives a little more context to the whole thing.

But what's with the fake fire?

Okay, so far the fire and the hammer thing remind me of an arty porno I've seen a few times.

Well, I love it! Duh. The Fellini moment was soooo sweet, I love the standard bearers' dresses and I LOVRD the cows (but I spent a good deal of tiime in the Alps yelling "Hi Cow" out the window.


What I'm not thrilled about is the K-Tel Best of Disco soundtrack.


Oh, and I miss Reindeer.

interesting to hear only American "hits" (songs) during the Parade of Nations.

i wouldn't mind if Bob Costas would shut the f up.

one last note before they get back from commercial...i was amazed at how i learned to actually find curling pretty exciting to watch...just had to learn the rules and strategy and i was hooked.

bring on the speed skaters...oh, and the bobsleds:evil:

When I lived in Bellingham, despite being just down the road from a US station I got only CBC out of Vancouver, BC. In addition to enjoying news reports with profanity and late-night movies with nudity, I also got to watch A Lot of curling. It's somewhat mesmerizing.

Oh good. Because what would a parade of 70s/80s disco pop be without Y.M.C.A. And I would like you to know that I typed that just before annoying announcer man mentioned it. Are they trying to shame and demoralize the US team?

I'm looking forward to the aerials.

Ooooh,I forgot the wonderful ski jumper complete with telemark landing. Coolness.


Is the Flying Tomato is the love child of Danny Bonaducci and Susan Dey?

OMG, the ski jumper was awesome! The cow thing escapes me, though.

You think Bush arranged for Freedom to be playing when the US team came in?
