Why did they show up in their pajamas? That's a pretty ballsy level of confidence, if you ask me!

Oh that's just hideous. Who the heck did they hire to design that garbage? Does anyone remember the Olympics that were held in France in...I don't know, late 80s, early 90s? The opening ceremonies had women from each country walking in these huge transparent bubbles. The women looked naked, except for a few well-placed emblems of the country to hide her naughty bits. The chosen Canadian emblem? The beaver. |

I can only imagine the conversations amongst the Canadian women, as they were suiting up...

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Vera' nice, Blondie!! Thank you!!! The uniforms are nearly as awful as England's Olympic logo... D'oh, do you remember it? It was hideous and pink, and looked like something that had been hit by a bus. My thought, when I saw it, was the same as MS's: Someone actually got PAID to design that? And it beat out any of the other submissions?? WTF???

The Canadian outfits during the opening ceremony were fine: red and white shirts, white hats and pants. Incredible show put on by the Chinese, btw. I was mesmerized. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Wow. Thanks, blondie. Nice little bedtime treat.Alexandre Despatie has grown up quite nicely. I've been watching him for a few years; all of a sudden he doesn't look so much like a kid. Men's rowing I'll be watching that, for sure.
