It totally is Beckham!

There's Beck! Soccer ball idea would be cool, but he doesn't appear dressed for that.

That's pre filmed though, there's still hope.

 

[cyrevkah]

So....why isn't he playing this year?

Younger, better players. He's ancient by soccer standards.

I love that McDonald's is a major sponsor, when I think of their food I think of athletic excellence.

I want to be one of the cool kids that thinks everything sucks and all, but I think it's good so far, not great, but good. I'm just about ready for it to be over though, starting to run a little long.

I think it is pretty good too. It will be hard for anyone to top China. I think this was a show more for the people at the stadium and maybe not so much for the tv audience.

It's been good, but the 171 countries or whatever it is that are about to be introduced is going to take a while.

Yeah, that part always takes a painful amount of time.

I read an article today about the 8 month pregnant Malaysian air rifle competitor. I wonder if she bowed out from the parade of nations?

It was kinda cool. About the same time she qualified for the Olympics she learned she was expecting.

 

[Cy$]

This is dumb as ****. Red coats! Shoot them!

Your hunting dog would own.

 

[nj829]

I felt bad for the Chinese kids that clapped the entire time countries were introduced in 2008, looks like London is just going to bang on the drums at a slow and steady pace.

 

[cyrevkah]

so what is the object the kids are carrying? Is it an urn?

 

[enisthemenace]

I'm about 30 - 40 minutes behind, and haven't read the thread. Is it just me or has this been the weirdest thing ever? I feel like I've been on some crazy acid trip the whole time.

UK history/symbolism for most of it

Oh, it is a souvenir.
