Its still the OLYMPICS, we are just older and more jaded since 88 and 92.

ENJOY all the athletes...all of them...lots of time and training and precision.

None of us can really even compare.

Hey put me on the ping list, and count me AGGRAVATED that we have to watch NBC's filler before the opening ceremonies!

I really wish I could watch Canadian coverage instead of NBC. NBC acts as if Americans are the only athletes at the games.

Really. How annoying is this? They should not have billed this as the opening ceremonies when they had no intention of actually showing the start until 8 (or 9 depending on where you are).

My sister and I swear the United commercials are penned by the same animator who did Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman".

If you haven't seen it, rent it. A beautiful little Christmas story with absolutely delightful music.

I always think back to Franz Klammer back in the 76 downhill. That is still one of the most electric Olympic moments ever, how he didn't wipe out is still beyond me.

LMAO! Have you ever seen America's Top Model? I've only seen it a few times here and there. It also takes gayness to new heights.

Done.

I hope it's not like this every night.
