Wow that was interesting. Kind of wish I would have followed this thread while I was watching it unfold, but still entertaining to read through after the fact.
Highlights for me:
- Disarray in the executive suite at the start of the ceremony
- Fake wind flailing at its attempt to blow the flag
- KD Lang trying to pull off an Elvis impersonation (at least in appearance).
- The awkward silence and nervous looks on all the torch lighters while Vancouver organizers were trying to contact the pot head controlling the cauldron/torch controls.
- Gretzky riding in the back of a pickup truck in Bizarro town followed by a random gaggle of drunks on a neverending search in a rainstorm for another cauldron to light.
Wow there was a lot of unintentional comedy in this event.
