Just took a commercial break from watching the Olympics opening ceremony.
One word - fantastic.

Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony
I agree, that was epic. Must have been the biggest display of pyrotechnics of all time.
Great ideas, visually absolutely stunning. The unfolded scroll, the countdown with the blinking lights right at the beginning, those 29 fireworks - footsteps approaching the arena...WOW!

Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony
Very cool! I love to watch the olympics. Did you hear about the new event this year? It's called garbage stick. Each contestant has 1 minute to bang the hell out of garbage with a stick. The one who can get the lid on the trash can wins. Go Hans!

ROFL
His technique is generally viewed by garbage banging aficianados, including garbies, as flawless. Heard he was highly favored for the gold, but had a slight fly problem that might slow him up.

Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony
Mayfield669...LMAO!!
The Speedo company has a new stick for the garbie bashers this year. It's sleek, splinter free and cut's throught the air with ease. It has a flared head at the bottom to allow for a firm clean whack. Should be fun to watch. They call it the Do-Stick 2000.

Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony
I heard the Biathlon has changed a bit too.
Instead of cross-country skiing being linked with the rifle shooting...what you do now is secure yourself to a roof...someone shouts at you, you then have to fall off the roof and on the way down shoot as many car windows as possible. The hot condenders this year I believe are Switzerland and Norway. But they face stiff competition from Belarus and Chile.
The alternative biathlon amendment was shelved at the last minute. Contenders had to be fat, walk across the snow camouflaged then stop and pop it to the crows.
