11. It WAS! that's what saved it for me

I tried to write a little encomium in GD, but I'm too ripped.

that's my SKULL?

was that face---mask thing the COOLEST THING????

Or what?

Daliesque, with the three dimensional, flying sculptures, splitting into ever decreasing shapes, like those Russian eggs?

that really was amazing!

I hope they made a tape, without those two ignoramuses! how embarrassing for our nation.

did other countries have to listen to their prattle?

12. They need a C-Span for the Olympics

that's the only way I could enjoy the Democratic Convention was C=Span.

I'm checking to see if they'll show any repeats on On-Demand. Plus I just saw that freaking "Sophie's Choice" ad for Bush

:puke:

14. I agree...

The world discriminates against those of us who have a slightly different biological clock (or working hours) :cry:

[arcos]

13. argh!!!!

I didn't read your message when you posted it... and even if I had, I was at work and had no access to a TV. :mad: :argh: :grr:

I think I won't ever watch it :cry:

15. couldn't stay awake for the torch lighting

how did they do it this year?

anyone have a pic or something?

[Kellanved]

16. the first time or the second?

Because the flame went out during the night and had to be re-lighted.

The first time it was very spectacular with a swinging torch:

Edit: if you can live with German commentary:
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmt/mediathek/ZDFmt_video_cont/0,3498,MT-2179171--MD-1000059-hi--12,00.html

But it requires registration - a username and a password; no personal data.

Edit2: After watching it again: Had Pfitzer anything to do with the ceremony? :shrug:
