    I think the London games will be boss, I'm hoping I'll be able to drive down and watch myself as I'll be.. 20?

    I'd probably just watch the marathon though, as it's FREE.

    As beautiful as this ceremony has been. I feel like I have to be on LSD to truly appreciate them.

    NO! I just told that to PG! Get your own jokes! :gobo:

    I liked watching the fireworks. I just wish that the announcers would stop telling what China has and hasn't invented.

    That is exactly what I thought.

    Although to be honest, I am very surprised that was the most embarassing thing he did.

    For a public official, Johnson does a fine job of looking half drunk all the time. I thought he was going to fumble the flag a few times...

    God damn, China knows how to put on a show. That bit with the people performing on that tower was insane.

    Lol @ London following China's tremendous show with some flying planes and a bit of colored smoke.

    Yeah. Why did they make a French flag in the air?
