I'm gonna do it tomorrow night.
Too caught up in opening ceremonies. Not a multitasker, here. :)
Found some great Olympic moments on youtube, though.

No, I’m just a dummie. LOL

Allow me to call you a waaaaambulance.
We all hate the Chicom government. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t support our athletes and give credit where credit is due. Do you pretend Sputnik and Gagarin never existed because they were launched by commies?

Apparently there is no shampoo in Nadal’s hotel room. Ewww.
To: Mr. Silverback
Where in heck do they put up so many athletes for their rooms? That must be a hoot of a place.

I heard the announcers say there are 1.3 billion. With that kind of dedicated work force, they can pretty much accomplish anything they put their minds to.
Based on the opening ceramony I think we should just concede and surrender now ...
To: retrokitten
Yikes!! It looks like she might not clear that hurdle. Ouch!
To: tsmith130
LOL! It was a break during practice. Here is the actual caption: Spain’s Rafael Nadal takes a break during a tennis practice session ahead of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games August 5, 2008

Nah... they may out number us 4 to 1, but we’d still give them a run for their yuan.

You’re responding to the wrong poster. I agree wholeheartedly and was telling FReeper who posted tieneman (sp?) sq picture to let it go.
To: retrokitten
NO, I was referring to the shot of him walking in...not your pic. LOL!
To: AGreatPer
Yeah, I’ve always though it was kind of funny that they call it the Olympic Village when it’s got to be the size of a large town or small city!

Iraq got cheers. For Iran it almost sounded like booing, which is unusual for Chinese to do. They’re usually very polite.
