Interesting factoid.... when Team GB came in, there was a mass of confetti launched. Apparently there is one piece of confetti for every single human being on the planet. Cool.

I bet nobody will check up on that.

Biodegradable paper.... they'll just say they degraded before they could count 'em.

Never figured you for a conspiracy theorist!!!!!!

My money's on Redgrave for lighting the cauldron.

Ali with a flag! Crowd will LOVE that. Big hero in England. Well, everywhere I guess.

 

[California Girl]

Mohammed Ali? I did not see that coming. Poor old guy.

 

[California Girl]

Beckham is bringing the flame by speedboat up to the side of the arena. Cool.

 

[California Girl]

Beckham is the new James Bond. LMAO

 

[California Girl]

Yep, no surpirise.... The honor of lighting the torch.... Regrave. Rightly so. Britain's greatest Olympian. Awesome guy.

Bless him.

Big hero of my daughter. She has diabetes too.

Bless him.

Seriously, he can hardly stand. Heartbreaking to think he was such an awesome, fit, man once. Such bravery to come all this way.

Something unusual going on with flame, I gather.....

I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THIS!!!!!!

 

[California Girl]

beijing, consider your ass firmly kicked in the 'olympic cauldron' department. That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.

Wait till you see it, Bob. Your country has surpassed itself. It's absolutely stunning.

NBC coverage just started.

Thanks for the running commentary Cali. You'll get rep once I've "spread it around" a bit.

I thought you guys did an awesome job. Loved the Queen's entrance... and that cauldron.... OMG! And, the way the country has gotten behind the games with having the torch being run around your whole damned island - including Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, Scotland and Wales. Very inclusive! It even came within about half a mile of my place! Cool!

Is it more than just a little ironic seeing Ryan Seacrist interviewing Gymnasts?

 

[Swagger]

OK, I watched it. But was it really necessary to drag Ali back from the grave? He looked a mess. The cauldron was something else, though. I wasn't expecting that.

Quite possibly the last time the world will see him. Poignant.
