    I let my kids stay up to watch the ceremony...they were so confused by K.D. Lang :lol:

    WHAT was the deal with the white-clad dancers? be boppin thru the whole athlete ceremony?

    I was flipping between the US and Canadian feeds... NBC kept going to commercial during the french parts.

    Am I the only one that was a little nervous for Wayne at the end? He looked a bit freaked himself.

    How awesome are these ski jumpers? I understand these guys aren't scared to crash now, but you gotta have serious balls to do this for the first time. They are talking about "the move" needed to make the ski jump work and the guy goes, "If you don't make 'the move', it's suicide." Damn.

    I wish the Canadian producers could skip the french parts lol

    There are only a few things worth watching.

    Speed skating is on right now...and it's NOT one of them!

    How cool would that have been...but not to include Terry Fox or the family in the lighting of the cauldron was terrible.
