Nice to see the US chose the “Judge Smells” costumes, to honor Ted Knight in Caddyshack.

LOL! Perfect! Some of the athletes look less than comfortable with the yachtsman garb.

I like the US outfit...I like the hats. Think of a sailboater in New England.

It looks American.

Wow! You found great pictures. I checked before I left work and couldn’t find any of those on yahoo. Then they expected me to “work” and it was all downhill. ;-)

we need to dress as revolutionary war soldiers or cowboy/girls next time.

I think they should dress like The Sopranos.

It’s a subliminal message: If we all ate haggis, we could live in peace and harmony forever and ever!!

Did Matt Laurer just say Russia crossed Georgia’s border today to defend the area?

That's what I understood him to say.

Tom Cruise was right. Matt Lauer IS glib. What a liberal idiot.

I think the chinese ran out of money because they keep repeating the same 5 songs for the parade of nations. You would think it would have been simple to find enough music to fill 3 hours of the parade instead of repeating the same 15 minutes of music over and over.

Hoping so .... and Sarah Brightman, another vocal angel, too ...

“It has been announced that Canada’s Celine Dion, Taiwan’s Jay Chou, Britain’s Sarah Brightman and China’s Liu Huan would perform during the opening ceremony.”

It looks American.

I'm sure it does where you come from, but try it behind a pair of Texan eyes. Thurston Howell comes to mind.

“Lots of applause and cheers for US!!!”

I’m not surprised.

As I said in a prior comment...I was there as a tourist last October. The Chinese people treated us royally. Embracing us...literally!
