    I loved everything, except Oh Canada. It should have been sung by someone like Roger Doucet. Whomever that gal was, she sang it like a ballad, instead of a National Anthem.

    Great to see #4 - Bobby Orr

    Agreed,

    The best part, so far?

    Pardon my French?

    The bear, the whales and the way they did the ice breaking up.

    That made long for the days of hallucinogenics.

    Tre magnifique!

    I wouln't exactly say that I was overly impressed with the opening ceremony. I love Sarah, I hated the National Anthem bit really like Nikki, loved KD Lang, loved the whales and the Spirit bear but I was really embarrassed for all Canadians at the end when one of the towers wouldn't come up for the lighting of the inside cauldron. Mistakes happen, but hey, the world is watching, ya know????

    Overall, it gave the impression that we are all living amongst ice and snow in igloos. Sorry if that insults some Canadians...it's just the impression that I got. I have other observations but will keep it to myself.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.

    You are embarrassed over that? that's nothing. You live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. No one gives a shiat about a mechanical problem.

    4.5 hours and no one said "EH".

    I am still in love with Lemay Doan and thought Nash was having fun, he washed his hair for the event.

    Grace,

    Bobby or who?


    The commentators said the song K.D. sang was about peace and one line was something like, "shooting someone by beating them to a draw"?

    That made me think....

    Gump (Lorne John) Worsley was a goalie.

    That other guy was a wrestler - I think. Wrestling doesn't appeal to me, so I'm not familiar with their names.
