thinwhiteduke Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It begins with 3 long hours of pointless ceremony Lol I liked the closing ceremonies in England with all the 80s music stars! 6 hours ago, JSSkinz said: This whole dog meat thing has me disgusted. Mostly rumors and propaganda. Maybe true but not in a large scale. If it is true,so what? Just more pointless morals that don't amount to much. Some people eat meat/cows/birds..some dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So what's up with the ridiculous US opening ceremony outfits? I'm just watching it now. Blue jeans and what appear to be western themed oven mits? Ralph Lauren needs to be banned from the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't understand why anyone watches the opening or closing ceremonies. Pointless, unless you are a participant, or attending in person. Of course, I don't understand why people watch things like the Rose Bowl parade, or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinwhiteduke Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What a load of crap lol Make those 2 girls run all the way up those steps. .and they don't get to light it lol I don't care how young or in shape you are.Making anyone run up those steps is torture!

Because tv makes you feel like you're there. Same as watching a movie or anything else. Most tv is pointless anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like the families are like"what's for dinner tonight? Oh, didn't hit the grocery store? Let's cook up Fido!" The dogs are raised to be eaten- like cows, chicken, pigs, etc. Plus, the Korean kids I talk to say it isn't even that popular. People don't go out for dog. Seems like a hold over, old fashioned food for older people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Which moron said this on NBC during opening ceremony? Guess they didn't get a copy of East Asian Relations for Dummies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I plan on catching as much of it as i can on this rainy weekend. i love the Winter Olympics, much more than the Summer games.. the speed and insanity of half of the events is great fun. And, won't hide it a little bit, i am always interested to see just what the hell Johnny Weir is wearing in the figure skating booth. I do like the figure skating competitions, I think it carries some of the best drama in the Olympics, and the athleticism is incredible. I love the ski jumping, the downhill, bobsled and luge races.. but it always seems when i turn on the Olympics, they are just settling in for three hours of cross country skiing coverage. Glad the coverage offers me so many choices. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Luge would be an fun sport to try. Actually I think @zoonyand @TryTheBeal!would make an awesome two man luge team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McQueen is our third. I’ll gently whisper “Grunfeld” in his ear just before the launch. I expect to set a new world record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's an olympic sport I won't watch, but I will say run after run of downhill skiing can get a bit tiresome. Still think they could ramp up the audience if they had to do the figure skating in the middle of hockey games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Caught a re-run the opening ceremony last night. Superbly done by the Koreans. Not normally one for all the pageantry but that was boss. The story they told, between old and new, and how they seamlessly strung it together was top notch. Really enjoyed that. Shrugs. Hail.

They're just jocks doing jock things.They could care less what flag they do it under. That's just for fans to have something to identify with. National pride is just some mythical thing. I guess what I mean is..what country you are from is irrelevant to the human experience. A lot of people aren't even playing for the country they were born in.
