| I caught part of the ceremony before bed. Fun stuff. Who knew Norway's won so many medals? Why are the athletes marching in to 80s disco songs? You'd think it would be easy for me to Google how OIympics qualification works. You'd be wrong. Announcer: "I wonder if the Slovakians made a special request: 'you know, the Olympics are important to us, we'd really like it you'd play YMCA for us'." North and South Korea entered together. Two athletes held the flag for the Koreas, one from each nation. There's a 54 year old female luger. And a 52 year old professor of kinesiology at Iowa State male luger from Venezuela. The Americans made a fucking spectacle of themselves as they walked in. Geez, no wonder everyone hates the US. I also like how the NBC coverage tracks them about three times longer than any other nation's entrance save Italy. And was one of the Americans TALKING ON HER CELLPHONE DURING THE OPENING CEREMONY? The Mongolians have the best hats. Taiwan came in as "Chinese Taipei". They even have a special flag. The Hungarians looked so happy to be there. You could really tell they were having a great time. Ditto the Italians, but that's different. Italian is such a beautiful language. Yoko Ono? Imagine? What? Seriously, what now? The torch looks sleeker than...let's go with...a five-bladed razor. -- LJ props they'll probably never see go out to the following wonderful people: Cieana, Abbi, Angela (*not* a dancer!) and Tessa. -- Go here: http://kevan.org/johari?name=knite | ||||||||||
