She's a beast.

Slight f-up with the Olympic flag

That's awesome that they included Rick Hansen, although I wish he was the one to light the torch.

The great one

(he cut his hair)

I think that torch podium is going to be in the way at the hockey games isn't it?

Wow, this hasn't been the smoothest of starts the Olympics has ever seen.

Nope.....not at all.

Well, I'd say there is going to be a hydraulics tech on the unemployment line tomorrow.

My wife was cringing with embarrassment; I was laughing my a** off.

But even if all of the penises worked, there still would only be four of them, and five people with torches looking to set something on fire. Or was Gertzky not meant to light anything inside, since he had to light the outside "cauldron"?

hansen wasnt meant to light one i think, he just brought the torch in

No no it was Wayne as the odd one out since he was lighting the primary one.

Wayne's face just about sums it up

Ah, of course. Thanks for the clarification.

Wayne on the back of that truck looked pretty sad, trying to decide whether to risk his life by letting go of the rail to attempt a feeble wave at the crowds. And why the hell do we have protesters at every opportunity? This is the *Olympics* for crying out loud. Nations used to suspend war efforts to attend and compete; surely, no matter how worthy the cause, this is not the platform!

Well, that explanation works, too. I don't remember him ever taking it out of its holder, though.

Regardless of that, though, who did they get to design it, Roger Taillibert?
