If London's logo is any indication, London is in trouble if they want to top this:
Creepy commies aside, this was the most tasteful opening ceremony I've seen in a while.

Well considering they invented the darned things, you’d expect the Chinese to put on a good fireworks show.

If I remember correctly, based on rehearsals, there was a good chance it wouldn’t have worked the first time.
The Chinese ceremonies were beautiful and very artistic, but that archer concept had a nice masculine, hair-on-chest bravado about it.

I jumped when his harness loosened on the one side! I thought he was going to fall! LOL I did too! That would have been downer for the ceremony :)
To: Mr. Silverback
Someone mentioned Vancouver, so I get to post the uber-cute mascots again!

I would wait for the tivo version so you can zap the commercials.
Did anyone count how many NBA players were carrying the flags for different countries? I think I counted 4 or 5.

When the young boy said "Thank you very much, dumb Costas says: "The kid speaks a little English." More than likely, he speaks English a whole lot better than you do Bob.

I believe the Lillihammer opening ceremonies were the best ever. They even did it during the day. 1994 winter olympics.

LOL .... Snowbama ... starting to melt.

Awww how cute. Still makes me cringe about that so-called mascot they came up with for the Atlanta games.
