Live Discussion of the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Olympics
Thoughts? BTW, Sikorsky developed his helicopter in the United States and on the Television bit, what about Philo T. Farnsworth?
Russian National Anthem....they changed the lyrics since Soviet times, but it’s so awesome.
They really got the short end of the stick at the Tower of Babel.
Yeah, their anthem kind of has a snappy tune to it. I keep thinking of Nikolai Volkov, the wrestler in the WWF who sang it at the beginning of his matches.

Lots of percussion, for sure.. Russkies are good at percussions.
Sorry on the double post, my laptop choaked.
glowing people- from Chernobyl perhaps??
Heh, at least you can see them at night. B-)
The little girl was cute and a real trooper, willing to hang in the air like that.
The map on the floor is kind of cool.
The “hostesses” are wearing a circle-y thing around them.
Yeah, she did well, heck I get scared of heights.
Also wearing slit skirts, kind of 80’s looking if you ask me.
Curious to see the reception the Georgians are going to get.
Armenia, IIRC, they also have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in their code of laws.
Just tuned in to the opening ceremonies. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but it looked like the Greek athletes were making a statement in support of homes. The fingers of their gloves looked too much like the homo flag to dismiss the possibility of it. I look for othe such displays. Sad how 2 to 4 percent of the population can control the debate. What ever happened to majority rule?
I’m surprised they showed us the malfunctioning snowflake. I thought they’d play the rehearsal video like they did for the “home” TV audience.
I can make you a good deal on a 1990 if you want to upgrade.
Antiques from back in the old days when America made things that last instead of importing disposable junk from Red China.
