The Opening Ceremony

Been sitting here watching the opening ceremony for the Olympics. Would you like to join me?

It has been pretty good. I have to say I was impressed. It was very much based on Chinese mythology, which you would expect. And I get so wrapped up in mythology!!! Maybe I should study it and become an archaeologist. Anyway, they didn't go for the high tech kind of thing, which is good. I think all that is is like "Look what I have!!! I'm better than you". Not to say that I don't enjoy the high tech, cos anyone who knows me knows I luuuurve my gadgets. But for the Opening ceremony of the Olympics, I think it should be based on the history and culture of the country that is hosting. Not on how they can outdo anyone else.

The teams are all walking out now. Australia haven't come out yet. I'm waiting to see what they are dressed in. Some years it has been very OMG!!! So I'm hoping the poor buggers haven't been dressed to embarrass this time. Remember the absolutely charming shirts they had to wear in the (I think) 1984 LA Olympics. I suppose back then they were the in thing, but they didn't really age well did they?

Here comes South Korea. Its interesting to see the different types of people and they way they act when they come in. South Korea were very stoic. Hardly smiled, just walking and waving. And here comes Cameroon, smiling their little bronzed guts' out! They seem like such happy campers. I bet they like to party and shake dat thang!

OMG they are playing bagpipes in the background. THAT SHOULD BE BANNED. It has to be the worst instrument (if you can call it that) that has ever been created. I'm sorry to all the Scotts, you are great, but the bagpipes SUCK. Don't worry, so should the didgeridoo.

Here comes Sweden. Vere is your jacuzzi? Ooonta arben eeben iben doona cover! And now Singapore, oh they look like flight attendants. Can I get you a pillow, one that smells of farts. Hehe.

Imagine the after party to this.... All the athletes who are sooo hyped up and want to party, but can't touch any grog! What a conundrum! I bet after the games they go home and party hard! I know I would! HA HA! Get smashed.

And now some country has come out that are wearing hats that look like the ones you get out of the crappy bon-bons at Christmas.

One thing I don't understand about the Olympics. All these countries come together for 2 weeks, and it is all in peace. IF WE CAN DO IT FOR 2 WEEKS (FOR A FRIKKIN SPORT EVENT) THEN WHY CAN'T WE DO IT ALL THE FREAKING TIME? But anyway, that might be a debate for another time. I don't want to start that crap this time of night.

Still waiting on Australia to come out. Its very colorful there. It would be an amazing atmosphere. I get so wrapped up in the games, so please excuse if a few of these blogs go on about them a bit in the next few weeks. And I'm not a sports person. Go figure.

AND HERE WE ARE!!! Hear that crowd! Oh...interesting um..... track suits they are wearing. Nice blue and white, but IMO they don't look that impressive. They look like they have been bought at Kmart. I'm sorry but I was expecting something better than that. Hmmmm. But anyway.... Look at them....they know how to have fun. Jumping and laughing. Aussies know how to enjoy things. Hehe. They look so happy. Good on em!

Here is China. OMG listen to the crowd!!! They look nice and bright. Red and yellow. Maccas colours! Yes I would like a cheeseburger and fries thanks. Their team is huge. Being the home team thats why, obviously, derrr!

You can see the smog there in the stadium. Actually when I was watching the very start, where the guys where drumming on the lights, I was wondering what would happen if they all were epileptic!!! It would have set anyone in the crowd off. I mean geez it was bright and flashy, just what any epileptic wants....not! OOOOO Fireworks. Thats pretty!

Now the official crap. Snore! Can't understand him. Should learn Chinese shouldn't I? Oh old Brucey Macavany (or however its spelled) is talking now. Nifty would love this! SPECIAL MOMENT THAT! Ha ha! Oh how she hates him. Can't imagine why! Back to the speeches, in English now. Whoops, now in French. Is he going to go thru all 200 odd languages of the countries there? Nah....now they are gonna open the games. YAY! I guess he said that the games are on. OOOOO more fireworks.

Here comes the Olympic flag. Laugh if they dropped it. JOKING! They are all wearing white...careful you don't shart! Time for a song...lets sing the Olympic anthem. Um LA LA LA.....LA LA LA.....LA LA LA....oh stuff that! I think I will leave it up to the professionals. Now I'm falling asleep. Sounds like something the god botherers would sing. Oh thank god thats over.... Oath time. And now some music. Oh thats pretty. (he he ... pretty.... laughs CB). Lets all make little wavey motions with our hands. Tra la la. And moooore fireworks... ooo that was a loud one.

It should be the flame now. Wonder how they are gonna light it. Yep here it is. Run Forest Run! I got my flame Lieutenant Dan! Gonna take it on my boat. He he! Sorry.... Listen to the music... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! LOL! I apologise, I am soooo tired. It's nearly 2am. The flame has almost done the rounds. Here we go.......or should I say up we go..... wow, thats cool. Shit look how high he is. This is excellent. So well done! He is pseudo running now. (Hes faking it...hes a faker! - laugh all you family guy fans, you know its off it). He is still going. Getting close to the big thingy how. OOO its big and red. And now its hot...... its alight! OH AH LA VA VOOMP! Did that go up. Bloody brilliant if I do say so myself. And now more fireworks, which shall definitely help the smog situation.

And this concludes the opening ceremony of blah blah blah blah.

That was quiet good. I enjoyed that. I wouldn't want to be driving home from there now tho. Imagine the traffic.

Well now thats over I'm heading off to sleepy bo bos.


The song in my head tonight is "The living daylights" by A-ha.
