Vancouver 2010 - Oh Yeah! - ATTENTION:SPOILERS

[ladywithspinninghead]

Yeah, K.D.'s cover was gorgeous.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Wait, will the flame be indoors?

 

[coolian2]

steven bradbury, anyone?

 

[VintagePunk]

Great choices to carry the flag.

 

[coolian2]

i had no idea jacques villeneuve was canadian. i guess the french part fooled me.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Oh don't get me started over Nancy Kerrigan. I had a boyfriend who was obsessed with her. In fact, he would ask me all the time "why can't you look like Nancy Kerrigan?" jerk.

Who do you think will carry the torch?

For you non-Canadians, this has been the talk of the 'country' all week.

Most people think it'll be Wayne Gretzky.

 

[VintagePunk]

I have a soft spot for Romeo Dallaire. Nice to see him honoured.

I didn't have as big a problem with Oksana winning over Nancy Kerrigan, as I didn't like Nancy Kerrigan all that much. Although Oksana sure turned into a train wreck, that poor girl.

I'm pretty sure Oksana is the only Gold Medal winner who fell during her routine. She got the sympathy vote for being an orphan. I'm not a big fan of Kerrigan either, but she skated better than Oksana.

My home boy!

I have no idea other than him, really. I guess the flag carrying puts the Betty Fox rumours to rest?

I'm little curious about that, too.

He wanted you to look slightly horse-faced?

I'd forgotten she fell! Yeah, she definitely got the sympathy vote. I remember her costume, and her sobbing hysterically after she skated.

Cori: in the final stretch before the lighting, they take each viewer and drag them through a pit of hot coals and broken glass.

Still better than what you and Lila are watching though.

 

[corianderstem]

As long as Bob Costas isn't interviewing an athlete, I'll welcome it.

 

[coolian2]

I'm little curious about that, too.

yeah, i don't like. i hope they'll have an outdoor cauldron too so that the city can see it, like tradition seemingly indicates at the olympics.

actually, they probably will given they've been lighting small cauldrons all over canada.

I'll bet 2 tickets to Women's Hockey Wed. night (Slovakia vs. Switzerland) that it will be Gretzky.


Check that, anyone want 2 tickets to that game?

exactly and that pissed me off as well as made me question my looks.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh god, the We Are the World remake! Awesome.

I need captions - i have no idea who some of these people are.

... eek! The reanimated corpse of Michael Jackson!

Ooh, wait! BABS! It's now awesome.

Did they cut out a whole verse? Fail. God, they cut out half the song. Probably for the best.

Maybe Quincy Jones' "leave your egos at the door" sign should have been revised to "leave your autotune at the door."

<---has the original version on her iPod.

 

[coolian2]

hey for fuck's sake that's twice, don't talk over the ceremony. ass.

 

[phanan]

I would think that would be too obvious.

 

[kramwest1]

I like k.d. lang. Have even seen her live. But, I can't not make the Elvis link, and I like Elvis better.

Ha! I bet I know someone who would take them!

It makes sense - he's the greatest athlete to ever come out of this country, bar none.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Oh! As for the flame, I read somewhere there will be two flames so that will probably go outdoors.

I wondered over on your Facebook comment, too. What's the Elvis link?

Not Roy Orbison? LOVE her version of Crying.
