I didn't know there was more than one Olympics (aside from special) so i just assumed they made the snow like parks do.

To be completely honest I have always found the Olympics to be completely stupid and have no interest at all. Following them is something that I really only do by reading about how events that somewhat interest me have gone. And that has only been since the last Olympics.

Thinking about it the terms Summer and Winter go off in my brain as something I have heard countless times prior to the word Olympics so I don't know how I never put that together.

As for shooting sports I can't wait for Amanda Furrer....so so hawt.

That Greek girl shouldn't have gotten expelled. It wasn't racist

not only is it clearly racist, but it is pointless and just plain mean. That said it should have nothing to do with her career.

Who will be watching?

Rob, how are you feeling? are you seeing anything live?

No, not seeing any live stuff. Work is a bit intense ATM (pun intended).

What did you guys make of the opening ceremony? Watched pretty much all of it, and thought Danny Boyle did us proud. Brought a lump to even my cynical old throat.

Proud to be British this morning.

I only saw a little bit of it, but I thought the NHS thing was really well done.  When I heard that it would involve Mary Poppins fighting a giant Voldemort my eyes rolled out of my head. When I actually saw it done, though, I was really impressed.

The only other part I saw was the "digital age" and I didn't like that at all.

Also, the American commentators (Brian Williams and Meredith Vieira) were horrible.

I share your sentiment on your last two points.

Overall i was not impressed...the literature bit was my favorite, but the whole thing looked like it was for brits by brits...yet there were a billion people from around the world watching...

Yes!  Liked the opening dance sequence too....the parade is always  meh - DVR was great - allowed us to FF to almost the US before we got to live.  I'll be watching a lot of it this year - gonna be my background noise while I work on a lot of other things :D
