I just learned more about Canada in 3 minutes during this opening ceremony than I did in several visits there and a year living in another commonwealth country.

Must be the thin air...and lack of quality assurance.Torch cauldron malfunction.
Look, the whole goddam event is incoherent. Why are you wasting your time?Giant burning-man ice penis people! Uncomfortable-looking white men in beads!
Dancing to BRYAN ADAMS!
How bizarre.
But at least we got to see some of it. We only get an hour "highlight" show per day on the satellite TV here. Totally blows. Completely incoherent editing makes it even worse.
I really don't know. I somehow feel compelled because it's in vancouver.Look, the whole goddam event is incoherent. Why are you wasting your time?
I want to learn more about your great country.I really don't know. I somehow feel compelled because it's in vancouver.
She literally is 16. Incidentally that is the legal age of consent in NC.Plus, the chick who sang Oh Canada made my pants dance.
Fun fact: 52% of Vancouverites have a mother tongue other than English.I want to learn more about your great country.
I loved it when they finally got 75% of the cauldron working after a long awkward pause, then got on with it, then Gretzky moves on to his glorious ride in the rain in a pickup with one burnt out headlight.You missed nothing. The show was just awful. I mean REALLY awful. Ashley MacIsaac was the only tolerable part. (Fiddle player). The rest was just slow, slef indulgent crap. COuplle that with a malfunctioning TORCH...leaving the torch bearers twisting in the wind for 5 mins. (Bah it's just the torch....let's not bother making sure it works. No-one will notice)......and in the same day a guy gets killed on a track with questionable safety.
Shaping up to be the worst olympics ever.
What an embarassment.
My wife thinks that they knew they could not follow the Beijing show, so they figured they may as well make it suck badly so it at least still be memorable.
kd lang? REALLY??
I thought that was Clay Aiken...kd lang? REALLY??
I couldn't tell if it was incoherent or if it was the disjointed editing of the synopsis...I couldn't believe it was actually as bad as it seemed...Look, the whole goddam event is incoherent. Why are you wasting your time?
Because it's my time to use or waste as I see fit. We get it. you and your 'stash don't like the Olympics. Well, despite all the crap that surrounds it some of us still really like the Olympics. If you don't well, your loss.Look, the whole goddam event is incoherent. Why are you wasting your time?
I miss that! Did they have an elephant pushing a ball or a bear riding a bike?The Circus performers were good though..![]()
No, just a bunch of fruit booters skating in circles. I'm surprised they didn't have any mtn. bikers hucking or riding skinnies..lolI miss that! Did they have an elephant pushing a ball or a bear riding a bike?
Compare to match sprints or the madison, it is pretty easy to see strategies.Speed skating is such a weird sport to me. I just don't understand the strategy.
Brings back memoriesHow do you take out your own teammate?
You'd think Americans would be good at a sport with guns. I guess shooting from the hip isn't as accurate.What's that other sport where they're skiing with guns? That's hardcore.
I was thinking that myself.Brings back memories

btw, anyone know somewhere online that has a live stream available in the US? NBC requires a cable account and I haven't had any luck proxy'ing to the UK or Canada for BBC or CTV.
Our guns are for shooting native citizens, native species, native road signs and native aquatic life only.You'd think Americans would be good at a sport with guns. I guess shooting from the hip isn't as accurate.
They would have won if they'd used the Weaver stance.You'd think Americans would be good at a sport with guns. I guess shooting from the hip isn't as accurate.
