What, you arent a fan of curling? LOL

I like summer olympics more.

Womens beach volleyball, gymnastics. Half naked women jumping around.

Cant beat it

Although skiing is cool to wacth and figure skating. Like to see people wipe out and embarrass themselves

[JfromtheD]

And they're in a decent timezone, for a change.
(At least for U.S. viewers, that is.)

I was going to say how much I like Winter more.

But then I thought about the Womens Brazilian Volleyball team... :D

I'm not a big fan of track and field, though.

Do you know what teams/games you're going to see?

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Do you know what teams/games you're going to see?

Two mens hockey games and one womens hockey game.
We won't know who's playing because it's all part of the tournament.
Before we go I'll find out the times the games are.

[notsolost42]

Tragedy at the Olympics today. A Georgian luger was killed in a training run earlier. He was going so fast he flew off the luge and hit an unwrapped pole. So sad. This year's winter Olympics is really off to a horrible start with injuries and now a death.

[JfromtheD]

Aw, that's a shame. :(

Luge is scarrrry!

[notsolost42]

Aw, that's a shame. :(

Luge is scarrrry!

It sure it. They are going to try and slow the track down. It has a built in thermostat and they are going to warm it a bit. Very sad start this year. They said there hasn't been a death at the Olimpics since the 60's. Other than the terrorist attack against the Israeli team, that is.

why is it i'm the only person i've ever met who couldn't find weed and get stoned in a smoke shop in vancouver? do i look like a cop? could they tell i was american? i'm still cool.

I believe ya Mcgarnigle, but normally Smoke Shops don't sell weed at all. THey're too heavily watched by the cops.

Do you know people that have readily done this?? I've never heard of it.

[LissaMarie]

Loving the opening ceremonies! How interesting: Canada is a larger land mass than the US but has 1/10th the population. I say we ban together and conquer! We can take em'! (Except for those French speaking bastards. We can ship them somewhere else.) :D

I guess that kind of flies in the face of the Olympic spirit, huh? Back to the show. :o

Speaking of...are the Jamacian bobsledders still up and running?

Doesn't look like it.

Too bad. :(

[LissaMarie]

I love the Morgan Freeman commercials too. I'm such a mushbag!

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Unfortunately no.
After John Candy's untimely death the team lost their will to compete.

[LissaMarie]

OH....lookit Ethiopia. :)

How do they train for snow skiing?

[JfromtheD]

You kind of forget how cool the Olympics are... until they're on! :D

[JfromtheD]

Poor Georgia. :(

That had to be tough... god bless them!

[LissaMarie]

One would think Iceland would have a bounty of athletes in the Winter Olympics. Strange?! Iran has more athletes than Iceland.

I will and I'll post them up for you guys.

I've been looking on Google Earth at the town we're staying in. It's called Chiliwack and is about a hour/hour and a half away from Vancouver.
There's a big mountain that has a lake on the top of it called Lost Lake......
I'm going there definately!!!!!

That was cool that they got a standing ovation, but I'd think that everybody would be wearing a black arm band.

I did and I was touched that the crowd reacted that way. I bet the athletes will wear arm bands when they compete, don't you? Maybe they just didn't have them over their winter coats or something?

LOL @ the O'Keefe comment. :p

[LissaMarie]

All of their faces are just beaming with pride! What a great experience.

I'm waiting for Nelli Furtado to bust her ass lip syncing in those heels on that snow! :eek:

I'm biased as a child of the 80's. I loved him! But you're right. It's either Bryan Adams or Celine, right?

Nope, the Jayweiser is as white as can be.

Thos whales were pretty cool. So was the whole fiddling section. Sweet.

Not in my area. That whole thing was a tribute to the east coast.
You should check out the band Great Big Sea on youtube when you get some time Liss.
I bet you'd like them.

[Unbridled Pageantry]

hahah another thing is that Donald Sutherland is the staple that you go to when you need a voiceover done in Canada.
"Hey we need a voice over."
"Call Donald Sutherland."

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Wow, that Prairies thing, and this whole Rocky Mountains thing is pretty out there.
And not in a good way.

[LissaMarie]

THAT was very cool. I loved the poet. Almost makes me want to be Canadian. :)

ok I just dropped in to see if anyone saw those amazing opening ceremony things going on and I get you two goof balls, but the whale thing, and the bear before that and the salmon turning into totems turning into trees, very cool, 'specially the whales, I miss the ocean a lot.
My mom's mom was from up by Winipeg, Ojibwe and Cree and Scottish and French, I only found out a few years ago, so that made it more cool

NBC's camera people and producers should be added to the latest unemployment numbers, starting today.

There was this beautiful imagery on such a wide scope.
... yet, they chose to zoom in with closeups of the performers in their leggings and harnesses. :rolleyes:

Such a shame, because when they did zoom out, it was soooo impressive!

I thought the exact same thing.

The whole point of it was that it was a big spectacle not a close up of anybody.

I don't think NBC know's what they are doing most of the time anyways

[LissaMarie]

Yeah, that wasn't a problem when K.D. Lang was on stage. :o

[LissaMarie]

There were a lot of long shots is all I'm saying. My daughter and I were watching it and I commented how I think she looks like my Aunt and she was all, "Mom, everyone does from a mile away". LOL!

[JfromtheD]

I see. Come to think about it... you're right!

It was the only time, you could see all the visuals.

Too funny. :D

[stream]

reminds me of this concert I went to a few years back, ya know how they have the video and the screens now and they kept having close ups of the face of the singer, when in rock you know you have whole band, whole body of one or two musician, side shot of band or group and maybe a little of the close up singer thing but
what i am saying is it is like living near wisconson watching stuff these days, they will give a camera to anybody (bad analogy about drivers from wisconson aborted)
used to be you had to know something to run a camera, or direct which shot is to air off the cameras available, and i was taught, by several people what the import of this was. I naturally knew when you needed a reaction shot (going to an audience member to see their reaction (way to long ones last night)) and when to stay on the main action etc, but they never do it right anymore
SO FRUSTRATING
'specially when it is history
who let NBC mess it up like this, have they no pride!!

Hey, to each his own, buddy. I think it's cool that my kids are effected by the same sort of thing that meant so much to me when I was teenager. The only cheezy part to me was Janet singing along with Michael. It was good on paper but pretty weak in execution. Just my take on it.

Anyone else watching Apollo race for gold?

[LissaMarie]

OMG, that was an amazing race!! Apollo gets the Silver! :)

[JfromtheD]

Silver. :rolleyes:

I had a feeling, that was coming when he kept 'toying' with the pack, during the qualifying. :mad:

[LissaMarie]

Yeah, that was a crazy race. Those Korean racers are going to get burned at the stake.

[LissaMarie]

Here's the We Are The World video for those of you who missed it (not you JD :p). I think it's pretty cool. Gives me goosebumps! As I said, it's kinda cool to have my kids experience the same type of rallying together for a common, humanitarian goal like the original song did when I was my children's age. The only part I don't care for is Wyclef and his bizarre vibrato. Enjoy and donate if you can. :)

The opening ceremony was pretty awesome until that final lighting of the torch. Still, I have to say the "flying" boy was the most visually striking moment of the night.

[notsolost42]

So, I have the olympics on the tv in the background while I am doing some work on the computer and occasionally peeking in here. They are showing the end of the cross country skiing. Everytime I hear the name Kobiashi I keep thinking they are eating Nathan's Franks!!! OMG! I think I need a break for a few minutes!:p

[JfromtheD]

It was nice to see Canada pop their 'home team gold' cherry last night. :cool:

How many people fell on their asses in the figure skating? Like 5?!? :eek:

Tonight at 8 is the Snowboard Cross... that's the best event! :cool:

I LOVE the snowboard cross!! I wish they carried weapons whilst plummeting down the hill though. Now that would be uber cool!

[JfromtheD]

:D Sometimes you seem like such a dude. I meant that as a compliment!
Bet you're fun to hang out with.

Felt bad for the US team, NBC kept talking about how broke they were. :(

Thanks, J! Yet another reason to come to the finale bash. :D

Yeah, it takes a lot of dedication I bet! Still, snowboarding as a career would be pretty sweet so it's kinda tough to feel too bad for them. Hopefully they'll do really well and get amazing endorsement deals.

[JfromtheD]

No, the US skaters, is who they kept saying were "maxed out on their credit cards, etc..."

The snowboarders are probably millionaires. :D

[LissaMarie]

Oh skaters. Yes, I can see that. Skating is such an expensive sport. Those little sparkly outfits alone are super expensive! Still, if they stay on their feet, chances are they can score a sweet endorsement deal too. Hopefully the next round will go better.

Exciting night in the Olympics! The Snowboard Cross was thrilling! I was also very happy for the Chinese pairs skaters and the Canadian skiier who was given his gold medal tonight. Simply awesome. :)

[JfromtheD]

I was happy for them, as well.

But, I'm having a bit of an issue with the fact that you can win medals, after falling and/or other big mistakes.

[LissaMarie]

Yeah, I didn't notice the slip the gold medal ice skating couple made. Now it seems like a pity medal and the couple that got silver really deserved the gold. Maybe they just had stronger scores in the short program? Still, it's suspicious indeed.

[ortrules]

But, I'm having a bit of an issue with the fact that you can win medals, after falling and/or other big mistakes.

I've never enjoyed the winter Olympics as much as the summer for this very reason - there is too much scoring involved, most of which none of us understand. In the summer games, a majority of the events are based on who wins the race, who throws further, who jumps higher, etc.

I much prefer actual races against other opponents - speed skating, snowboard cross - because you get a clear indication of who wins. The events that race against the clock (and the faster opponent) are still ok, but they can be rather anti-climactic. Games that are based on any type of judging or scoring seem so arbitrary at times. Take the men's moguls event for instance, it's exciting to watch, but after the Canadian took first place the commentators kept talking about how fast his time was and all that. The last competitor then starts his run, finishes in an even faster time, probably wasn't as technically sound on one of his jumps but was just as good with everything else - and he finished in 6th place. I just don't get it.

[JfromtheD]

I agree... the "judging events" are B.S. results.

Just a couple of years ago, the judges admitted that they screwed the Canadians (Jaime Sale was so hot) due to pressure from their own countries.

[Jelena]

Aw man, the skating's already over? :(

I think there was a French judge who admitted to being influenced or something, but the fuss and the amount of whining Jamie and her partner did. Lord, they could've handled things more differently. I was living in Canada at the time, so I know what I'm talking about it.

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Three more days to go!!!!!
Friday morning is calling my name.

[ortrules]

Aw man, the skating's already over? :(

Just pair's skating - I think.

I don't keep up with figure skating. Well, not since the sport's peak when Tonya Harding took matters into her own hands to knock out Nancy Kerrigan. If you could promise me those kinds of stories every year I'd gladly keep up.

I am so sad that I'm not able to follow any of this. First, I don't have cable, and second, the time zone thing is a real screw up for watching the Olympics live.

hey UP when are you going to the Olympics in person? You better do something silly for us back here at the forum, wait, better not, you might get arrested.

[shotgun willy]

despite the f-ups with the torch lighting thing, i really dug the opening ceremonies, maybe give some uneducated folks a better, rounder picture of who Canada is, and why we arent to be messed with ;)

Seeing the joy on Bilodeau's bro's face was great, it was like he won the gold too. I called Wayne as the last torch bearer days ago, just had a feeling, i mean who else is it gonna be? this is CANADA

Heres hoping for no more crazy accidents or deaths during the games.

oh, you know what else really grinds my gears? all these foreign papers saying how canada has not given the other countries enough practice, etc etc, that we are being unfair and all this other crap. everyone gets just as many practice runs as anyone else, unless you live right beside the hill, which some of our athletes do, what are you gonna do? other host nations never had to deal wtih that crap

[Pung]

Oh, you THINK?? eh.. not so sure 'bout that, Pung...

I smell sarcasm and we both know sarcasm has a terrible stench.

Canada won 8 to nothing, i was expecting higher. I love my country and want the Usa to do good, but I dont think they can match up to canada or russia. usa is too young of a team and dont have enough experience playing together. Canada's team is like an nhl all star team and russias not too far off.

[shotgun willy]

hey when you're right, you're right.

canada has a great hockey team, take scotty niedermayer for example, he is the ONLY guy going who has won as many cups/trophies as he has, the world cup, juniors cup, stanley cup, olympic gold, the list goes on and on. we are gonna see some great hockey games this year, i tell you what

More than I can remember in a long time.

Between the half-pipe, and figure skating, there are some sore behinds today. :D

That's right, Caleb & Krak! Congrats to you all for your gold in snowboarding! Quite impressive for a girl from a continent with very little snow. :D

I am sure that did suck skidster, but JftD didn't mean it that way, he just meant the rivalry was more intense, people got behind the athletes more, the globalization has made it less competative for outside viewers, he did not want all that to start up again, I am pretty sure.
