I didn’t like those hats either. Poor choice. But the whole outfit was better than that disaster some years ago when they wore pinstripe suits, open collars and fedoras. They looked like a pile of con artist hoods.

NFL cheerleaders go longer than that, and don’t run out of steam. Too bad cheerleading is not an Olympic sport.

Mugabe was turned away from China for being a brutal communist dictator.
That’s great.

Somebody wasn't let past HK...but I missed who. Although, Zimbabwe was walking in when they said that so maybe it was Mugabee.
To: chesty_puller
Thurston Howell!! You’re exactly right. What else can that be but an American.
Someone upthread said they look like they own yachts...yeah, that’s the ticket.
But hey, cowboy hats would have suited me too.
To: toldyou
Great to hear ... on a news segment tonight, they
highlighted an American couple visiting for a month, and they said the same thing.

HeHee - when they started, all peppy and ready to go, I wondered how long they would last. I am impressed they are still moving!

The girls all are carrying water bottles. Or maybe energy drinks. They look tuckered out.

What are you talking about?
To: retrokitten
Looks like a salute to Red Skelton to me.
To: xp38
You are correct. I thought it was Salt Lake.
Which I still think was better than this opening ceremony. But I’ll allow that it’s totally different cultures. Americans are used to a lot of music and noise. The Chinese seek tranquility.

Cartoon jackets....Duct tape color....Eeewwwwwww.
