    What'd ya'll think of the Opening Ceremonies?  OMG, if there's one thing
it proved is that Italians have  even funnier fashion sense than French
(Remember the weird shit at the opening of the '92 Games in Albertville?
WHEEE!)

    And WTF was up with all the 70's disco music during the march of the
nations?  That was just weird.

    Ok, the lighting of the Cauldron was downright AWESOME!  Still photos will
never do it justice, WOW!  Why can't the USA figure out nifty ways to do THAT
like other countries do?  The Lillehammer games had the Flame enter the
stadium...by a ski jumper!  Barcelona's was lit by the archer with a flaming
arrow...which EVERY boy in history has wanted to shoot  :)   And the Sydney
games, the Cauldron rising up AROUND Cathy Freeman.

    Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the Games, especially the Winter Games.  Snow
and ice are just so dang purty  :)
