huh? sex change?

What would an Olympics be without Bermuda in their Bermuda shorts.

[Girlene]

LOL, Bermuda...wearing Bermuda shorts (what else?) and knee-high black socks.

[FourPeas]

You’re almost inspiring me to go watch the ceremonies on my 1976 B&W Panasonic just for the nostalgia.

[dfwgator]

Did somebody bother to tell Brazil that Soccer is not an Olympic Winter sport?

[Winstons Julia]

You hate women? What did we do now?

[CaptRon]

Well the authenticity was my real question, wasn't it. If you're going to hold yourself out as an authentic aboriginal, shouldn't some part of your display actually BE original?

I have the same problem with the Democrats reinventing their history to be one of racial tolerance. Just tell the truth.

They can wait for the World Cup in June.

I used my 1964 Sony B&W set at times for the 2006 Turin and 2008 Beijing games.

The Summer Olympics.

Fans cheer during the preshow prior to the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics at BC Place on February 12, 2010 in Vancouver, Canada.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) hands the olympic flame off to IAAF Council member and Vice President of the IAAF Lord Sebastian Coe of Great Britain in Stanley Park to take part in the Olympic torch relay ahead of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics on February 12, 2010 in Vancouver, Canada.

[CaptRon]

Just a few.

There’s China. I just let out an involuntary f-bomb at those commies.

[Nowhere Man]

Here come the Chi-Comms

Um what??? When did I hold myself "out as an authentic aboriginal"??? I said I went to pow wows and they are open to the public.

It's clear you just want to argue. Have a nice night.

“Men with Brooms” — A Great Movie!!!

[upstanding]

It’s been an endless parade of international hotties... then bloody China entered. Yikes.

[Fudd Fan]

I suppose China would be hard to compete with.....

I hated China's ceremonies.

[CaptRon]

And boy, are they missing out on a guy who will treat them like a queen!

[RansomOttawa]

And now the Colombians—er, Colombian. Thanks to those @#$% Jamaican bobsledders, they let any old equatorial country play in the snow these days . . .
