The opening ceremonies....

[bonedaddy401]

are unbelievable. I have never seen anything like it. Those drummers were just ridiculous.</p>

...I hope to go there one day once we all work for them.

 

[wpnetdawg]

scared they'll be put in jail.

 

[DynamicDawg]

It has been an impressive ceremony to say the least.

 

[bonedaddy401]

I would argue the best ever.*

So one billion people are gay because they watch the Olympics? Ok. Go back to Nafoom and talk about dinner recipes and get back to me.</p>

But, given the choice between ghay and being an ignorant redneck, uh, pass me the can of skoal.

 

[Rebheaded Stranger]

 

[wpnetdawg]

too much.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

...see Germany in 1936 and Moscow in 1980.

 

[Bulldog Backer]

...and a really amazing work of art.

 

[wpnetdawg]

they were going on.

....I'm sure all it took to pull it off was five years and death threatened to the family members of the performers if they did poorly.

And Costas was right, if there were a trophy for opening ceremonies, retire it now.

Then again, I'm sure we'd have heard something about it prior to the ceremony.

I'm still partial to the 1992 Barcelona ceremonies flame lighting. The archer firing the flaming arrow over the cauldron to light it was simply amazing. Last night's was good too, but not the long "jog" he made was anticlimactic.
