Great part this where they bring the olympic flag. It's very important and classy. This to me represents the official challenge for all the nations around the world to participate and compete in universal language, sports. Very nicely done.

I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

HOLY CRAP (I am watching on tape delay here)
The "ski jumper" made up of people where different colored smocks was absolutely AMAZING!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

there are videos of several parts of the ceremony. In German. But Germans are very quiet people. I had to switch to ZDF as those Italians kept talking on the most important momentsI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever.

It was Gay². But then again anything is gay next to getting drink and having someone's Croatian girlfriend straddle you and show you her cans while you're trying to watch figure skaters with torches on their heads.If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

AWESOME Torch Lighting.
Great Opening Ceremonies, Italy! I salute thee!

Imran, yeah, that lighting was awesome. I was like, first when she put that torch on something that looked like a bad idea, but then the whole structure revealed itself and it was massive after all
It created the 'wow' factor in my mind, because I literally said 'wow!'.

Good olympics so far. Germany starting strong.
I'm enjoying the CBC coverage of cross country skiing and speed skating so far. Very svelt.Resident Filipina Lady Boy Expert.Comment

We totally screwed up nordic combine.. we almost had a guaranteed gold medal after ski jump, but then on cross country, the strongets skier that was of course our skier totally dropped out first. He had a bad day, after having only good days in world cup. Kind of bad timing, eh?
We were supposed to have super weekend with 4 gold medal prospects.. but tomorrow we will take ski jumping gold medal, and gold medal in half pipe so .. not too bad of a start coming up.In da butt.
