[LemonMelon]

canada can't get it up.

oh jesus come on and do the outdoor one too. shit.

Their nipples will be the only thing that gets up tonight.

 

[corianderstem]

Two lines into the anthem, and I'm already making my bitch face at the TV.

 

[kramwest1]

Are there only participants and athletes there? Were there any tickets for the public for this?

Really expensive. That's part of the reason we are going for the middle of the Games.

haha

 

[corianderstem]

Who arranged this thing to sound like a bad pop tune? Oy.

 

[trojanchick99]

I love opening ceremonies, although Bob Costas can shut up any time. I'm surprised he isn't talking over "Oh Canada".

 

[coolian2]

Who arranged this thing to sound like a bad pop tune? Oy.

didn't they say she was a jazz singer, too?

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah. A 16-year-old jazz "phenom" or something like that.

I was very skeptical of her "phenom"ness at first, but she improved throughout the song. Nice for her, big honor and all that, she's lovely. Just hated the arrangement.

 

[LemonMelon]

I know our mothers love Shaun White, but they gave him their sweaters? Guess it's too cold to toss out panties.

 

[trojanchick99]

Oh and the fact that the Opening Ceremonies are tape delayed in the same time zone in which they take place really pisses me off.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

she was profiled a couple of months ago on one of the national news channel. I can't remember which show, anyhow she does have a nice voice.

 

[coolian2]

"these people tipped off to the location of the second cauldron"

thanks. i'm sure the installation, tv cameras and overall huge setup may have tipped them off. dickhead.

Three hours away, and three hours behind.

The Flame looks like Superman's Fortress of Solitude is on fire.

 

[corianderstem]

The aboriginal nations kicking off the ceremony ... damn it, I'm getting all choked up already.

[coolian2]

Three hours away, and three hours behind.

120 miles as the crow flies. that's laughable.

 

[kramwest1]

Someone tweeted:

Vancouver Olympic cauldron brought to you by Toyota.

 

[corianderstem]

Stupid CBC, not keeping the broadcast rights for Canada. That's the channel we get here!

[corianderstem]

[MissVelvetDress_75]

[corianderstem]

Nah. Not enough sailors and leather daddy cops.

 

[trojanchick99]

Yay Parade of Nations!

 

[coolian2]

Nah. Not enough sailors and leather daddy cops.

[corianderstem]

Now all those poor people have to stand there for the next billion hours while all the athletes march in.

I love that Greece is always first. Ceremony! Tradition!

Waaaaaah ..........

 

[corianderstem]

How many athletes do you think will be tweeting from BC Place?

"Why does my country's name start with W? My feet hurt lol."

 

[trojanchick99]

So, if they have one participant who are the other people tagging along with the Abanian and Algerian flags?

Azerbaijan great hats and awesome pants.
