Opening ceremonies

If you didn’t watch Friday night’s Olympic opening ceremonies – just go ahead and skip this post…

But if you DID watch the opening ceremonies…could you even believe that??? A few things crossed my mind while watching:

• Did you see all those drummers perfectly synchronized? I couldn’t help but think that the first guy who misses a beat gets sent to the gulag.
• How about the world’s largest LED screen being rolled out across the field??? I expect to see that thing at Lorri & Amy’s house for football season.
• No wonder our economy is in tatters…the Chinese have been spending all their money on large-scale production numbers instead of our auction rate securities.
• That Chinaman-in-a-box thing is soooooooooooooo Ocean’s 11
• Was it just me or did it look like the Chinese soldiers had waxed brows and glossed lips?
• If you’re one of those guys in the box whose entire job for the last year is popping up and down according to rolling waves…WHAT do you put on your resume now that the Olympics is over????…(professional jack-in-the-box?)
• Those floating dancers only LOOKED supported by wires. They were actually suspended in smog.
• Ummmmm, let’s see, the China opening ceremonies had 2008 drummers in perfect time, 2008 popping box boys, 2008 tai chi practitioners…and what did WE have? Whitney Houston? These people are soooooooo going to own us someday.
