NBC's coverage of the opening ceremony starts on Friday at 7:30 I think.

Yeah, I was confused by having some competitions early. Whew. Since that's likely the ONLY part of the Olympics i'll see this time, i kinda don't want to miss it.


Well, as far as TV goes anyway. I think YouTube is a brilliant idea.

Because worse than all the backstories is ... as Moonie points out .... most of the sports being part of a mish/mash that you have to slog thru to find the stuff that interests you. Blcch.

It's all about ratings. If they tell you when what you want to watch will be on then they don't have the crossover viewers.

I'm glad I didn't miss it. One must get in their fix of crepe paper streamers, confetti, dancing children and fireworks every two years or so.

They called that Light Magic and it was cancelled at Disneyland.

You know, Leo, only gay boys remember and talk about Light Magic.


:D

Something about those little fairies dancing so close to me was so...so...spine tingling.:)

Paging GC, iSm and MBC to evaluate this statement....

No evaluation needed. Just tell him that his gay is showing, BTD.
:D

Surprisingly, the IOC's test is chemical (hormones I believe) and not just a simple issue of "drop your drawers."

I have a vague recollection (though I think I am just making it up) of someone having as medal revoked because they didn't pass the gender test.

But then again, the way this day has been, I am probably just smoking something.
