Default Re: Olympic's Opening Ceremony

Yea... crispy athlete.... and put another shrimp on the Barbee.

I think it was the archer at the Los Angeles Olympics (1988?) missing the cauldron that bought home the fantasy of it all.

The flame is originally lit in Olympia from the sun but what happens if it the wind blows it out part way through the torch relay, do they start again with another genuine flame or is there Howard Morrison there with his trusty BIC?
(To the non Kiwis, Howard Morrison is an old celeb over here that once advertised lighters)

As for the avatar.... the Almighty Kall (our creator) has to take the credit for that one.
