The Jam!!!! Best Olympic opening ceremony EVER!

I love this montage!

I am really really loving it, too! I'm jamming over here!

Sweeet!
 

Great music segment!!!

I could do with out the narration from Matt and Meredith though, thats kind of annoying.

Not a fan of Matt at all.

yeah, definitely a lot of female atheletes in power skirts.

yeah, it seems that there are hardly any countries where all athletes are in pants or shorts. :/

woot! Go Canada and your all pants athletes!

My sweetie says you should check your thermostat, cause those goosebumps can't be from this!

My mother called to tell me how awful it was and both she and my sweetie are waxing poetical about Bejing's opening ceremonies.

Not everyone's cup of tea, dats for sures. But I do love Mr Bean and looking forward to the musical parts which are just starting here now.

Wish I could have watched it live, streamed it. Oh well, such is life in a back water rural area, no? We are lucky to have electricity! Much less tv...

Run Forrest Run!

Best so far: the Czech Republic and their rubber rain boots!!

The 2012 Summer Olympics are the first Olympic Games in which every participant nation has had at least one female athlete.

Woooo hoo!
 

I was 6 during the Winter Olympics that were held in Lake Placid, which is 3-hours north of where I grew up. I saw the bobsled races. It was really cold and really snowy. I stayed outside the better part of the day. I sunk into the snowbank up to my waist. I had to be pulled up and out by my mother. My boots and socks stayed in the snowbank.

WTF is up with the athletes and their phones and cameras? A sign of the times I guess but dang!
