Hahaha. Gretzky lit it.

Also he went past my building with the torch! Eee hee hee.

Yeah it was disappointing with the final hydraulic failure but it was bound to happen.

We watched the luge trials today and even though they lost 10 stories on their start (by moving to the women's start), they were going goddamn fast.

Instead of making a new thread, I just thought I'd post in here how pumped I am that Canada broke the record for most Golds ever won by any country at the Winter Olympics.

I'm very surprised too. It seemed like everyone thought Canada would struggle getting Golds, to begin with. I think I heard somewhere that the record for most medals won was by Germany, with 36, and the Americans got 37 this time, but I really have to check on that first.

I agree with Typhoid. There was something much more human about the ceremony than China's mechanistic mass. Actually, both ceremonies would tell an outsider observer quite a lot about each country.

Yeah, I enjoyed this ceremony more than Bejing's.

Bond · 02-28-2010, 07:52 PM

Congrats to the Canadians. I was glad to see our two countries take the gold and silver.

Hope the closing ceremonies are good. I just hope Nickleback doesnt play or

I don't think I'm going to watch. I wasn't very impressed with the opening ceremony this time and I have other things I need to get done.

The thing I liked about the closing ceremony (I stopped watching because my head started hurting too much - no that's not a jab at the ceremony itself) was it started with them raising the last pole that failed in the opening ceremony. I thought that was pretty funny.

Also: There was so much lip syncing that it made me sick. I hate how the Olympics are all about that now.

Also Also: Joannie Rochette is a babe.

The final part of the ceremony was awful.

Nickelback, Avril Lavign, Simple Plan, Hedley.

FUcking ridiculous

It went beyond that tho. Avril, Simple Plan, Hedley.

WTF

The only part I liked was Neil Young, and to a lesser extent; Michael Buble.

You guys may have beat us in hockey...but then you had Nickelback play.

Just so you Canananananananananadians know, Nickelback is less popular than a pickle:
