The Beijing Olympic Athletes March...Live??

I'm guessing at this point of time i can only comment on the costumes:
  • Barbados – looked like they came straight off the beach
  • The Hats of Paraguay were real nice, the flag-bearer looked like he needed a sandwich.
  • Everyone seemed very happy to see the Cuban team. Maybe people were expecting they got cigars for everyone?
  • Burundi– I want to go there. Those straw hats are awesome.
  • I loved the Lithuanian team. They were ALL very happy. I know only one Lithuanian and he’s funny as hell. This whole team looked like copies of him.
  • The Canadians looked like they were ready to go on a boat ride. A bit sailorish
  • Hahahahah.. Bermuda in Bermuda shorts… soooo cuteee (this is the only time you’ll see that word used on this blog. I promise. The word 'Cute' I mean )
  • Do not mess with that flag bearer from Guam – Ricardo Blas Jr. That flag looked a bit scared being in his hands
  • The Jordan ladies liked they came straight off the miss world contest
  • Notice how the team from Cook Islands are all fatties?
  • Argentina look like their having a lotta fun

    • Has the whole of the USA come in to participate? there must be atleast a million. Not marching very well either.
    • The Thailand PM is wearing the same uniform as the Thai team. Very touching.
    • Karam Gaber, the flag bearer for Egypt looks hot!!

    • Hats off to Costa Rica. They so far are the only team that have marched in straight lines.
    • How on earth are the number of strokes needed to write Peru more than the number for St Vincent and the Grenadines
    • I want those Portuguese hats, banners, and costumes also...

    • That chick carrying the Fiji flag could have made a good a sidekick on Xena, Warrior Princess
    • Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea? North Korea is a peoples democratic republic? Lots of cheering
    • Mr. Federer and his delegation looked like happy schoolkids out on a field day
    • I didn't know the Swedes used fans? Them ladies were busy fanning them around. Cold country. No?
    • heheeeheee i LOVE Mongolia.
    • I have to say, so far.... the New Zealand team was the MOST impressive. Mahe Drysdale, You The Man
    • The Italian team obviously was all over the place,.. but that is expected. The Senegal team had to wait till they cleared off. Just like their Spanish neighbours before
    • A 2 feet difference between the lady with the German placard and the German flagbearer.. and they were carrying some of the team on their shoulders; now i would have expected that of the Italians or Spanish, not the Germans… was nice to see. I loved those hats some of ‘em had.. Again.. Again someone on the cellphone. Sigh

    Yes. The Chinese team were the most impressive, if only for the reception they received. And it was a lovely touch seeing that lil kid who saved 2 peoples lives during the earthquake walking alongside Yao Ming.
