Sea bears are part killer whale and part bear.

Wow, is that even possible?

Matt Lauer sure looks like a member of the rodent family....

BA-DA-BING!!!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If anyone saw the bombshell movie “Land of the Lost” (2009) you’ll remember the last line in the movie: “Matt Lauer Can SUCK IT!”

Honest to God...I thought it was a pretty good Opening Ceremony.

I was especially impressed with the whales.

I just hope no one else gets hurt badly/dies.

Did RUSH play? I fell asleep at Sarah McLachlan.

Bryan Adams’ performance with Nelly Furtado was disappointing.

I thought Terry Fox’s mother was supposed to lite the caulderon too but when she came out with the flag, I guess that went out the door.
For a moment I thought Wayne and her would lite it together until the 3(should have been of course 4)sections came up. I think having Steve Nash there was great too...

As far as I know, it's not the coaches, who are marching, it's the national olympic sports committee bureaucrats marching.

BTW, you could take your argument and say the parents should be marching too. I stick with 'athletes only'.

Well, like I said, we will just leave it up to the atheletes then if the coaches should join or not.

I thought the opening show was spectacular! It dragged in some parts and a lot of those “indigenous peoples” looked like they were recruited and dressed by Ward Churchill- but otherwise, the visual effects were stunning! Well done Canada!

The country of Georgia was on folks’ minds during the Beijing games, too.

Sitting at a keyboard, everyone becomes a critic. LOL! Next time, perhaps they should ask you to sing it since you seem to know just how it should be done.

Rush did not play. The rumor is, they were supposed to be after the punk fiddlers and the whole segment was supposed to be very upscale (they were going across the country by providence and that would have been in the Toronto, Great Lakes section) and more about city life. But due to the luger’s passing, they organizers thought they should cut it and keep the whole thing somber. :-|

So the new rumor is that they will be in the closing ceremonies.

I figured they called some audibles last night because of what happened earlier.
