Someone in that crowd is sitting there with a massive joint in one hand and staring at that cauldron with lust in his eyes while his friend snickers and says "Dude, I totally dare you"

Gretzky looked unimpressed...also looked like he had no way back after he lit the aluminum foil.
They just stranded him by the ocean...lol. This thing could be a frikkin Simpsons episode.

If only we had a kid flying through a wheat field in 1988, then it would have truly been great.

Holy crap, someone uploaded the entire Calgary Opening Ceremonies (ABC's broadcast): http://www.youtube.com/user/thisisab.../0/u61dC8RW4AA


Calgary's population was 650,000 at the time, crazy.


Some great 22 year old commercials in there too.
