Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

We liked it !!

LOVED the huge LED (we think) screen in the floor !

And.... it's now 1:10am and we've finally seen Australia enter.... third last ! (bloody hell.)

Fun, colourful and a good start.

...oh, and if in doubt of the country, just play scotland the brave on the bagpipes anyway...... :D

Love StoatnBear


PS: 630 athletes for China.... there should be a cap.

Is it on for us tonight?

No offense meant, but I think there should be a cap on Olympics threads.


Do we really need a separate one for the Opening Ceremonies? I was already reading about them in the regular Olympics thread ... and I assume when they air tonight in the States, it will get confusing having two VERY ACTIVE threads on the same exact subject.


If there's no objection from Down Under, can we please merge the two?

Coverage starts at 7:30PM

Well can we at least have a separate "Matthew Mitcham, the gay diver from Australia is FRACKING HOT" thread???

I had no idea who that boy was yesterday, but I opened my mail and there he was, shirtless and beautiful, right on the front cover. Only two non-swim pics inside the mag of him but with one in a seductive alone at the pool pose and the other sticking out his tongue piercing. I am in loooooooooove.

I just myspace friends added him!

The Advocate cover pic is a better pic of his face though:



Oh, and here's the ones from the inside:





I feel like such a :gnome: but I really would love to :argghh: his :tiki:

:evil:

You want to pirate his tiki?

Yes.
I'd pirate his tiki, too.
:D

Ok, yes, a separate thread for Mr. Mitcham, whose "Pirate" I'd like to "Tiki" a bit myself.


But .... um, need to know before 8pm PDT ... separate Olympics Opening Ceremony thread? Or discuss the majesty and inanity of the Opening Ceremony in the regular Olympics Thread?


Do we also post our observations and reactions on Twitter?

Eh... leave the separate thread. It will be moot in a couple of days anyways
