Well for now the ceremony looked crap, but the nations are intresting, esspecially the argentinian group.

Australia is nice.

You didn't like the firey rings on the water and the syncronized fireworks running along the rim of the stadium?

Okey, their getting boring, most of them are just plain disorganized, and i'm sick of waiting for someone nice like Azerbajan, who were humble.

Ha, the Kenyans were cool

Dartzap · Post by **Dartzap** » 2004-08-13 03:21pm

Both the Chinese and Korean Teams were rather large...

Does each country get to show off? What's up? I'm trying to decide whether to watch the opening ceremony or Stargate tonight.

Watch Stargate, far more fun than watching people walking in a circle

Stargate, at this rate, even the olyimpic flame will be a let down.

If they do something cool like Russia with the flaming arrow, I might tune in.

Atlanta, with Mohammed Ali and the flaming French Fry box was very underwhelming.

That's today? I wonder how many Floridians in the wouthwest Gulf coast will be seeing that, if any.

All our news is focused, obviously, elsewhere. I don't see any of the Cable channels running it either.

I don't know, touched something nice in my mind.

Did anyone else think the torch lighting was boring, except for the torch itself? I mean... the archer lighting the torch was the coolest one yet.

Well, it was uneventful at least...
I liked the one in Sydney.
Insteresting factoid: the whole torch thing was invented and first used at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin

.............. The sad part is I don't even think NBC has started showing the Opening Ceremonies here in the US.

No, they have to make sure that there won't be any naked boobs in view. You know, because Mammary Glands corrupt our men...

It's 9pm EST, and they're only just now showing the Parade of Nations.

But StarGate is on, so Nitram's controlling the TV.

What's the deal with Iran? I heard one of their athletes withdrew because he had to face an Israeli or something.

I thought the Onlympic games were supposed to bring peace.

Have a very nice day.

NBC showed a fucking CAMPAIGN AD during the FUCKING OLYMPICS.

A campaign ad for George W. Bush, no less. Which means the Bush campaign bought time during the Olympics to show a campaign ad[/b]. That's beyond fucking slimy.

Here's a spoon, Bush Campaign, now eat my ass.
