 :lmfao:  The "WTF?" look on Gretzky's face was precious as he waited and waited and waited.  I love it when elaborate shit fucks up; it's dreadfully boring otherwise.

I didn't care about the ceremony, but I just heard a rumor that Rush will play. I guess I have to watch now.  :D

That was brutal... Steve Nash looked worried too... at least they went on with 3 and improvised to make it happen.

I love the Canadian anthem.
Not impressed this time though.   <_<

At least good thing it didn't happen in Beijing, or hundreds of bullet bills would already be printed before the ceremony was over.

The Canadian Olympics day one report card: one dead Georgian, one fucked up torch lighting.

I can't wait for tomorrow!

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

That was in slow mo...  you're obviously watching the tape delay, but if you thought the anthem was slow wait 'till you hear the version of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now.

By the end every athlete will be dead and Vancouver will be in ruins.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Other than the death of an athelete on the day of the opening ceremonies and the fucked up torch lighting... that was a good ceremony.  Beijing was a great opening show hard to top.. I don't think they topped it here but they didn't embarass themselves.. other than the torchligthing which they improvized with sublime effort.

Being totally ignorant of how Canada's political system functions I have a stupid question...

What does the Governor General do? Is it just an honorary title now or does it still have an important function?
