Olympics opening ceremony...???
Ummmmmmmmm...not awesome.
I feel like we gave them the leftover fireworks we had in the basement. Not impressed. Eh. Whatever. Wait until summer 2028, bitches. |

In 2028, I imagine the 405 and other parking lots disguised as freeways will piss off plenty of Olympic visitors. |

I was pissed off when I saw Katie Couric start talking. She's such and American hating bitch.
And their constant drivel about the North and South Korean marching together as some sort of "beginning" to a new era of peace almost made me throw up. I turned it off after watching the USA Olympians march in and get seated. I could not take her babbling anymore. |

Both she and that idiot she was with sounded like complete morons.
OTOH, I thought that what we saw of the ceremonies was much better than all the overblown wierdness of many previous ones. I think we missed seeing most of it, though, as so much was cut by the network. |

Best Olympic opening ceremony was the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. I believe they were held at the site of the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles .

https://la28.org/map Looking at the website, they have volunteer opportunities. Might be a bucket list item for me that I didn’t even know existed. Might he cool to actually be a part of the Olympics.* *Disclaimer: Depends on the level of commitment, though. Bitches can’t be taking up too much of my time. |

Think I read the Canadian TV is covering the Olympic's live. In the old days of my rotor roof antenna I use to pick up the Canadian stations, living on the US/Canadian border.
Need a VPN, it comes as a free ad on with the free now open source OPERA browser. I use OPERA as my main browser for the last few years. Like it better than Chrome , Firefox and Pale Moon. |

NBC would cover more, but commercials.

A couple of channels are covering it, but the CBC is the main one. Time difference mean it starts around 5pm and goes on all night. I keep waiting for little fat bastard's sister to do something to make a statement for her brother. |
