THis is like watching teh Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders on ACID!

[retrokitten]

LMAO!!

Now their are people riding big wheel things.

Um...apparently they don’t get South Park in China.

It’s like a Chinese Wizard of Oz with music from a United Airlines commercial.

LOL! That's a perfect description!

This is a lot more esoteric than the opening ceremonies. And by "esoteric" I mean weird and confusing :)

This explains the bike helmets.

What are the odds they will let the real little girl singer perform @ the closing...front and center, instead of hidden behind the lil girl llip sync ‘er?

[retrokitten]

Now they are being invaded by the cast of “TRON”.

[God luvs America]

the latter (unfortunately).....I got as close to the trials, but that was it...

I brought my wife to SLC in ‘02- she’s not really a sports fan...as we were leaving, the night after being in the building and watching Sarah Hughes win the gold in figure skating my wife said, “everyone should experience the Olympics once in their lives”...she’s right...I brought my mom to Atlanta for the last ten days of the games in ‘96 and she still glows about it....

my wife is now hell bent on the two of us and my now five year old daughter getting to Vancouver in ‘10...

I couldn’t help but notice how ultra-skimpy the bathing suits were. Good thing they didn’t come off when they came up out of their dives. LOL.

Highly unlikely :)

I’ve always wanted to go to London and depending on what is going on in my life then, I might try to swing going in 2012. It always looks like such a great time.

I don’t really want them in Chicago for 2016, but if they do I will probably volunteer in what ever way I can.

[MagUSNRET]

LMAO friend of mine on anotehr thread said “Those dancers are so hungry, they just made a blooming onion with cheese!”

[Marysecretary]

I think their suits were on but they sure were skimpy.

[Majie Purple]

Opps I forgot to say/type sarc but I think You knew I was being that.
