I hope none of the drummers had epilepsy
I want one of those hand-crayons
I feel kind of uncomfortable hearing Bob Costas explain symbolism
Who was that guy in the hunting camouflage sitting next to the President? Didn't he know he would be sitting next to the President and therefore be on TV? He really thought a hunting shirt was a good choice for the ENTIRE WORLD to see?
I am glad I am not wearing an LED suit. I don't want my naughty bits to be electrified.
Where are the Ninjas? Is that China? I am an Ugly American.
Smiley Face? What the hell?
So the giant ball with the dudes running on it looks like the part in Planet Earth when the ants are devouring the animal carcasses. Which is grody.
Chinese cheerleaders? Awesome. I hope that they don't have to jog in place the entire time!
Greek outfits=good.
There sure are a lot of countries that I have never heard of. I am an Ugly American.
Wow, Turkmenistan, I didn't realize you like The Last King of Scotland so much!
I am totally rooting for Mali.
$130 average income for Eritrea? Man, I am sending them some cash. Screw the homeless guy on the interstate.
Japan is making their women wear culottes? Poorly played, Japan!
Cheerleaders are still jogging!
I want to see a ninja fight between the yellow skirt Ukrainians and the Culotte-panese.
Where is Brunai? It is a mystery! MYSTERY!!
How long is this freaking thing?
Oh, Canada--I hope your trashy outfits are not out-trashed by the US, but you know I don't have hope...
It never gets old to say "Djibouti." (Djibouti, Djibouti, Djbouti: The girl who's hard to get.)
There are two Congos? I am an Ugly American.
Hells Bells, Hungary--your women look like they are covered in blood.
I am too tired to finish this. More when I watch it later on the DVR.
And the cheerleaders are STILL jogging!
USA! USA! USA!

You mean I spent the last two hours watching Monk reruns on the laptop (an episode with Sharona no less) and I could have been watching cheerleaders jogging?
I need to get out more.
"The Central African Republic: It's a republic located in Central Africa."
(Always my favorite of the opening ceremonies.)
First of all, this was awesome, and I can't wait for more.
Second, I am an American living in New Zealand, so the opening ceremonies started at about midnight last night for us. And my husband and I stayed up until 4:30 watching them. We are so hard-core. And dumb. I wish we could have recorded it.
We gave grades to the different countries based on their outfits. The more ethnic, the better.
It's like you wrote down the commentary in my head.
I kept asking hub when the jogging cheerleaders could stop? Did you notice their water bottle holsters? That was the best part for me.
I thought the globe thing and fireworks was eerily like Epcot Center. I kept expecting Yanni to step out and conduct the drum people.
Remember when W got PTSD at the fireworks at Epcot? That was awesome--almost like Criminal Minds!
I'm with kalli...we shared some of the same thoughts.
The cheerleader girls...holy crap!! They never stopped!
I liked our outfits.
I thought the Hungarians, the Russians, and the French's outfits were ugly.
...and the Canadians...doesn't Nike make a cheapass shoe that looks like their shirts?
Welcome to Sherry! Thanks for making me feel smart and not lazy about going to bed.
B, the Canadians were truly some Wild and Crazy Guys with their outfits.
And Az, I LOVE that. Every year. I also love when they, EVERY YEAR, say something like "Marco Polo--there's another Chinese/Italian connection!" or "My Big Fat Greek Wedding! That was a huge movie in America, and now we are in Athens!" I can't wait for "Whistler...Remember that painting of his mother? The Iranians also have mothers! What a connection!"
i love you and the fact you said grody.
also, i should have you on the phone when i watch these types of things because you know we just can't look away. it would be cathartic.
