Why reply to me? I didn’t even watch it. LOL
Imagine if they went a bit further north into Tofino where all of the storms meet the shore first? LOL
LOL! Sorry, you were the last post and I was too lazy to scroll to the top..:)
NBC yanks videos pretty darn fast.
It became very boring.
And KDL has an incredible voice, but she honestly is the perfect candidate for a sex change operation. Celine Dion would have been more appropriate.
I came across this today:
By Ranjan Bhaduri Feb 13, (THAINDIAN NEWS)
Celine Dion could not make it to the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony and neither could she attend the premier of her new film in Quebec- all owing to her attempts at a second childbirth. She is now in a hospital in USA where she is trying to conceive a baby. The news has been confirmed by her husband. As per the sources, this is her 5th attempt.
The singer whose ‘My Heart Will Go On’ is considered as one of the most popular romantic tracks, has a 9 year old kid. For having the second baby, she is opting for latest in-vitro fertilization.
“God forbid Canada took the time to show what kind of a nation they have advanced to in 2010. All I gathered was there was nobody living there but tap dancers, fiddlers, eskimos, and tribes. HAAHAHA”
So true. All those tributes to “first nation” peoples. Very....Democratic.
My golly everyone.. if you dont like sports/Olympics etc why to you show up to crap on this nice thread?
Find something YOU DO LIKE & POST ON THAT THREAD. It irks me to no end how folks have to be “holier than thou” and post their disdain & how one thing or another is either below them, too liberal for them or too __________(fill in your own blank)
I note this on the Tour de France threads, movie threads, TV threads, food threads, in addition to the political threads. etc.
Now I hope the naysayers will have this out of their systems & go to a BASH Obama thread where it SHOULD be directed. Dont come back to these threads.
okay.. / end rant
Thank you MFH for putting this together. Nice pix & information. I have put together more than my share of “speciality threads” to have the same thing happen.
I slept more than I would like during the opening just due to lack of sleep the few days prior, but the parts I saw were fun & impressive. The sets & lighting were amazing. The talent shared was good (and I dont care about their sexual orientation when they are giving a moving song.. okay?)
I hope there will be no more injuries & the young men & women who have devoted their lives to excellence in their chosen sport will have a great experience over the next few weeks
would you please add me to the ping list? thanks
My thoughts exactly, Dolly.
My pleasure ;)
Actually it would be interesting to hear the announcer at the medal ceremony (try to ) pronounce the name of the Austrian guy, Gregor Schlierenzauer, who won the bronze just now in ski jumping :)

I wish they would just show us all the speed skaters, instead of just talking and talking.
Anyone just catch that little bitty???
I heard that
But I did overall enjoy her segment of skating there. Beautiful country & fun people
Pageantry of the highest order.
mixed thoroughly with
Tragedy .. Victory ..
and enough souvenir vendors
to clog a sidewalk.
Just stay out of the street, that belongs to the police horses and the protesters. ;-)
could you add me? thanx
I’ve been watching a lot more movies lately.. saw a couple good ones last night.
wait until the pace picks up... soon, I hope.
I want to see the biathlon and ski jump and bobsled myself.. and maybe a little curling. now there’s an action sport. ;-)
you can have the figure skating and hockey they play these days.
