Oh, Those Wacky Olympics

Nothing like the Olympics. 

Sure, the Super Bowl has a big halftime show and a pregame thing.  The World Series has the first pitch.  But we ain't got jack on the Olympics.

A dude wearing a welder's shield banged a hammer into an anvil that spouted fire. 

Cows on skates.

Dudes in red spandez skating around with helmets that shoot fire.

Dancers with big bubbles attached to their heads.

Yoko Ono talking about peace.

Susan Sarandon helping to carry the Olympic flag.

And the Italian National Team having the Village People's "YMCA" to usher them in. 

Let the games begin!
