Gracos Kid Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I watched most of the closing ceremony for the Olympics, but finally had to turn it off as it was too bizarre and strange......Am I the one that has a limited capacity for understanding and appreciating that presentation? Both the opening and closing to me were grossly lacking in quality and talent..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I thought the whole Tom Cruise thing was ridiculous and when I saw Snoop Dog that was it for me! The heavy set black lady singing the National Anthem was a typical “watch me I’m great” version ! 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Obviously not brewed to be your Cup of Tea I was "OK" with most of the "Artsy" stuff, right up to the Tom Cruze part. I was even able to appreciate the National Anthem presentation. But that Tom Cruze thing was just too Bizarre. All of that had to be filmed in advance of the Olympics and whom ever dreamed it up needs a Straight Jacket and Padded Room. Actually Gracos, it were pretty Wacko over all. Tom Cruze and Snoop Dog both in two places at once. Strictly bad Twilight Zone. Oh, I did like the rating of the Olympic Rings from the floor.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 The whole Olympics thing has graduated from competitive sports to entertainment, and a poor substitute at that! The next thing we are going to see is that Jenner "person" announcing in the next Olympics. I still can see Rafer Johnson lighting the Olympic flame at the 84 Games in Los Angeles (I was there).

Pat Riot Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I had no stress whatsoever from the two events. I didn’t bother watching. I actually didn’t watch any of the Olympics. I followed news articles on it. That’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Could it have been more bizarre than the opening ceremony? I don’t know, didn’t watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Saw a news article this morning. Irish guy. Won several medals in swimming. Was going to carry the Irish flag in the closing ceremonies. Last event was swimming in the river. He's too sick to carry the flag. Just how polluted is that river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I thought the entrance of the Golden Voyager was pretty good, and a great, if bizarre costume for him. And the ability to dance in that was amazing. Took me longer than it should have to realize that the odd shapes on the deck were the continental land masses. My standard gripe about how the performer fileted the national anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Linda Thom, a friend of mine, win GOLD at that one. I didn't bother with any of this "WOKE" version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That river is filthy/nasty and has been for decades!! Raw sewage, untreated industrial waste water, and who knows what else has been dumped into the river for as long anyone can remember!! There were some competitors who dropped out rather than swim in that cesspool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't fret, because the US is the only country responsible for un-polluting the planet and saving the environment. I'm sure the Greenies and their New Green agenda will think something up to pay for cleaning up the Sienne with your tax dollars........stay tuned.
