WTF was that?
-
WhoTF watches these things?
-
I'll watch it, they will look good on my HDTV
:D
-
The opening ceremony exists to attract the people who aren't interested in athletics or sport, the best thing to do is to ignore it.
-
Giants 16, Phillies 5

Oh dont get me wrong - I only caught a few minutes of it - but that was enough to scar me for life.
Ive seen more heterosexual performances from Richard Simmons.

See my first post.

You don't get it?
See, it's like this. Greece, the birthplace of civilization... all that history leads to the lady with the glowing belly. DNA strands whirl overhead, spiraling up into ......... SPACE, the final frontier.
She's ET's mom. Someday, ET'll come home again.
There ya go.

When does the Russian water polo team compete?
-
I'd have to give that a 10.0 I think. Maybe a 9.9
-
Now you are talking. Do they play water polo under water? That would spoil everything

I dunno... I see some cellulite there...
-
Good, Saur... stay away.. .you don't want any of that cellulite stuff on ya.
Stand back, I'll save us all!

When does volleyball start?

Shes too tall for you.

I liked the Ceremony.
I dont understand why some of you Neo-con show this little interest, being your nation the second by athlet numbers.
A lot of medals to gain.
-
Naso, we have 5 channels with 24 hour coverage. Opening ceremonies are just for jits and shiggles; competition is what is important.
I'm going to catch as much rowing and track cycling (team pusuit especially) as I can.
Oh and I will be following the Russian women's water polo team and women's volleyball (indoor and beach)
-
Wow ... You guy are the stereotype of a nombrilistic society.
-
im watching womans volleyball now
YUM!

I was there. It was a magnificent event and the atmosphere was electric. I thought the way they depicted classical Greece with the 'moving statues' was stunning.
The Iraqi team got a raptourous reception from everybody. I was surprised at how small the British team were.
After everyone saying that the Greeks wouldn't be able to produce on time, it was really great to see that they did - and for my money put on one of the best opening ceremony shows I've ever seen.
The day before that, my wife ran with the torch (not bad going as she had broken both her ankles 2 months ago) - a very, very proud day for me.

sounds like you enjoyed yourself, congrats to you and ofcourse your wife :)

Thanks Nilsen. :)
So much better seeing 202 nations celebrating peace rather than fighting each other.
It's hard to describe but seeing something like that makes you proud to be human as much as seeing war footage makes you repulsed by what people are capable of doing to each other.

Nombrilistic has to do with watching navels. Either Frenchy agrees that US volleyballer Logan Tom's navel is worth looking at, or he stretches the meaning to be one of contemplation of navels.
This would tend to be a closed, inward looking, a horse with blinders on type of outlook.
As my sport is crew rowing and I am most interested in that, I could assume he refers to that if he is referring to me at all.
As I will be catching as much track cycling as I can and will peripherally watch other sports I cannot believe that he is referring to me as that assessment would be in error.
Therefore, Frenchy must be condecendingly referring to the lovely Miss Tom.

Pls, a little more respect for the the mother of democracy,
freedom and human rights - ancient Greece.

Well it was different, but then most things are at 3am. Luckily I managed to hand back the runway works I had last night early, and our team watched the ceremony at base...most thought it was pretty interesting...
Loved the Greek history parade the best, the details on the costumes were excellent...thought our athletes uniforms were crap

Just a little background for your potential handicapping career:
In Sydney the teams of Russia, China, USA, and Austrailia all earned more golds, and total medals than the German team.
Russian and American teams each surpassed the German team in Atlanta and Barcelona.

Naso, did ya watch the womens softball game?
It was horrible to say the least.
But only if you're Italian:p

Congrats to your wife, then. :)
The Historical parade was amaizing, but what i found beautiful was the statue sequence, a vision.
And was astonished by the dificulty to control the pieces in such perfect way.
Even the ET (Copyrights by Toad) scene was wonderfull, with the lasers depicting figures in the cloud of water.
Definetly an opening ceremony that deserve to be write in history.
Including the cheerings when the Afgani and Iraqi teams entered the stadium.

I never miss the Olympics..
The Opening had its goofy moments, but I'd rank it way way way above the parade of pickup trucks in Atlanta.
Anyone else notice that the torch looks suspiciously like a great big fatty?
