Olympics 2008

Dang but there are some pretty athletes in some of the teams marching in...

Don't get according to what alphabet they're marching in though, not the one I learned.

Vera L. ?

Had to go google her

Probably. The 2002 commonwealth games ceremony was OK.

The 1991 world student games, anyone remember that? in sheffield, where the woman with the torch entered the stadium, dropped it, the flame went out, and she had to continue anyway, and pretend to light the thingy mi jig.....

What a disaster - symbolic of the WSG's legacy for Sheffield, a big compounding debt that exists 17 years later!

Of course. Young, fit athletes . As Jack Dee said, the olympic village must be one big none stop orgy, what with all those young fit athletes (with unusually high levels of hormones).

You bet !

FUNFUNFUN methinks.



Just heard this, apparently 46% females in these games.

the ceremony was amazing, possibly the best opening ceremony since the first Olympics ever held!

The photo's you're posting BSD are incredible! I'm hunched at my desk squinting at screens when I should be in China ogling hot Chink Chicks in Skimpy Olympy outfits! Show us yer birds nest!

Great show, yup, absolutely, they outdid themselves !!!

Re birds nest, Arb, some seem to have flown the coop:













Right.

Umm.

Lets see, what were we talking about again ?

Update III:





















:-)

Still don't get according to what alphabet the national teams are marching in though...

They are ordered by the number of chinese character strokes required to write the nation in Chinese
