The Queen! Bond! Corgis!
I know, you're just here for the Corgis.
At tonight's Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics (or as I know them as, the 2012 Athlete Bulge Watch), London shot their biggest load by putting THE QUEEN (you should curtsy at your keyboard while reading that) and James Bond together in the same room. I expected Helen Mirren in THE QUEEN drag to turn around when Bond came sashaying in, but it was the actual Queen and she had a line and everything. I hope this leads to The Queen starring in the next Bond movies as a villainess who beats him with her pocket book.
I haven't finished watching all of the Opening Ceremony, but I'm assuming that instead of fireworks, a naked Prince Hot Ginge came out and did jumping jacks. And I'm also assuming that the musical entertainment was Pete Doherty letting out his crack yodel while Harvey Price backed him up on the tambourine. Oh, and England's official ambassador of beauty Jodie Marsh lit the Olympic cauldron, right? Am I right? I'm totally right.

Okay, the commercial with Mariel Zagunis (fencing) --- She's the daughter of a guy who went to high school with my sisters. Her dad and mom went Olympic rowers in '76.
Go, Mariel!!
Go osu!!!
@Red
So glad I missed that part. A gal (or guy) has to have some steel ones to be that high in the air! Glad everything turned out well!

Matt Lauer says the dumbest things. Like he is impressed with the Argentine swimmer carrying the flag. He guesses she didn't drown when she was a kid, because she is still here!
The Mary Poppins bit was good - a whole crowd of them came down from the sky (I wonder what the collective noun for a group of Mary Poppins is..?) and at the same time there were some acrobats up there jiggling about on ropes - at one point it got confusing and looked as if one of the Marys was having a little trouble. We held our breath - but it all came good in the end.
LOL @ Bacon-- Nacho Figueras!
Ewe, sucky on here told me to listen to them a while ago, I fucking love them! The music there is so much better than here. *boards plane overseas*
Worst opening ceremony I have seen in a long time, and I'm pretty old. I usually love this shit, but it is seriously disappointing. What's with all the video's? I guess I shouldn't complain because then maybe they would have more of the crap they were doing in the stadium. A complete mess!
@Hockey
He was indeed talking about Reezy! Didn't catch that, though. It woulda been kinda funny!
CORGIS!!!

*hands GG a lemonade*
Hope it didn't sting. Every time I even hear the word Argentina, I say that line!
@Red
I only caught the Mary Poppins' entering at the beginning and tucking little chilrens into bed at the end. I was trying to juggle a phone call, toss a frozen pizza into the oven, plunge a toilet, and a cat that needed to chill the fork out. ;) Have to admit, I don't have much of a background on the NHS.

Who's talking about James Bond? I'm talking about James Bond! Yes, I agree that Sean is probably the best Bond, but for me it will always be Roger. I do love that man so.
How can you all be talking about the Best Bond and NOT EVEN MENTION SEAN CONNERY???
Shame on you. :P
HOckeyfan, you owe me a lemonade...I snorted it out through my nose with the "beef and nazis comment"!

Didn't catch an F bomb. LOL Will have to look for a replay.

I thought he said "I can fucking guarantee he isn't afraid of me"--- and he was talking about your boy Lochte, I think, Bacon. I probably just wished he''d dropped the bomb, stoner that he is.
CORGIS!!!

Here come the Argentines....

Could Matt Lauer please stop saying Danny Boyle's name? Not about Danny Boyle. Thanks.
I guess people either loved it or hated it. I thought it was atrocious.
Yes, we all bemoan the NHS but secretly we applaud it. Mostly because we've all ended up in hospital for some reason or another. Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is for seriously ill or terminally ill children, and some of those children (as well as staff) were there.
Dont care, the Queen!

That was a bit ago. Just had a little interview with Phelps and Shortcrest. Damn, can't wait!

The big baby was definitely weird...I missed where that was the history of the NHS so that makes more sense...I was thinking it was all about Florence Nightingale or something

Oh yeah. A fucking dancing dog. Over two high school kids who sang beautiful opera. Keep it classy Britain!
Did Phelps just drop the F bomb or did I mishear him?
I'm sorry, England, but this is the worst opening ceremony I've ever seen. The producer must have been on a shitload of good stuff, and in his own world. Even Matt and Merideth are kinda like, wtf?
Even Sir Paul won't be able to rescue this mess.
There was some scariness but Mary Poppins shoed it away.
That part was the celebration of the NHS. Got a bit scary. Big Baby was unintentionally scary too.
@Red
Nuttin's scary yet. *eyes darting while grabbing blankie*

Kate Moss gakked to the tits falling down.

Patsy and Edina did their bit last night. They had an Olympic episode with Stella McCartney . . . sorry no Moss though.

"That's what I'm talking about, sweetie dahling: Tradition! We can't let down the side now, can we?"
Brilliant! So The Queen has arrived has she? As a massive Bond fan I particularly enjoyed that bit. Would have prefered Roger Moore though. Mm - Roger...more.
Has it got scary yet?
I'm glad I caught the Queen/Bond/Corgis, but WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THE REST OF THIS SHIT??? Nurses and drs and kids in beds and scary shit and a giant baby, and now the history of British music which just started in the 60s apparently???
I am an old bitch, but seriously, I am just going wtf at all of this fuckery.
We need Prince Hot Ginge to bust out his nalgas.

Craig as Bond is totally overrated, I can't wait for the next actor to replace him. Neither can I wrap my mind around how, in this day and age, there are still living people who are this used to standing ovations and people bowing down to them.
I still wish I could've been there tonight. :)
