"Oh the women from Hungary are dressed as sofas."
Or curtins.
That is such a shame. The Hungarian women are some of the best looking in the world. MHO. Wait a minute, I'm partial. I married one of them. LOL. Imagine Hungarian and Irish. There's a punch line there but I can't figure out what it is.

As for communism, it’s not a good system but has anyone noticed that communism DOES seem to work but only with orientals. Think of Vietnam. First, ask the folks in the prison camps in Vietnam how communism's working for them. Or ask the folks who survived the killing fields in Cambodia, or the folks who get tortured for having an unsanctioned prayer meeting in China.
Second, Democracy seems to work pretty well with orientals, too. See Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.

Now this Guam flag bearer....399 pounds? What sport would that be...an eating competetion?
Aountry named Tonga?
I wonder what all that stuff hanging from necks. I understand it’s probably Visa/identification but it seems like a lot.
Why didn’t Finland need to wear those necklace tags?
I read that the order of the countries was based on how many strokes it took to write the country’s name in Chinese.
Bush is probably ready for bed.

That surprised me. I was expecting the Iranian women to come in as spooks...

Stop it....this is impressive but its not that out of the ordinary from what every other opening ceremonies are. I have seen the whole show already. The lighting of the flame is very well done and spectacular too but I rate the arrow shoot in Barcelona as the best I have ever seen as far as spectacular lightings go. Each show has its pluses and minuses.
Says you, I'm learning Chinese so I can be useful in rounding up others /sarcasm
To: retrokitten
ooo Is that the Croatian guy I just saw marching by on my TV?
He was such a hottie.
To: AGreatPer
The joke probably involves the consumption of ghoulash and whiskey.

That arrow shot was fake. It didn’t really light the torch.

“Based on the opening ceramony I think we should just concede and surrender now ...”
Yeah...thought of that.
Tomorrow I just might buy my grandson a Rosetta Stone learn Chinese (Mandarin) CD. It might come in handy.
