Olympic size update

Just to let all of you patriots out there know the Olympics start this Friday. Well, the opening ceremony is on Friday and the games start on Saturday. The opening ceremony should be cool because I have heard rumors flying around about some of the performances. You see, the Olympic ceremonies always center around the history and culture of the particular country. They used crazy imagery to convey messages of how their people are hard-working, multicultural, and of the land. Also, props are used to show the beauty of the land and creatures that inhabit it.

In this case, Canada will have a lot of people, land, and animals from which to draw inspiration. What I have been reading online is that it will be narrated by Mike Myers (star power, check!). O'Canada will be sung by Celine Dion accompanied by the rock band Rush. This should be pretty awesome. Also, a lumberjack (may or may not be played by John Hamm) is going to come on stage and chop down an honest to gosh tree! The torch lighting should also be pretty sweet. Word on the street is, Wayne Gretzky is going to hit slapshots of flaming pancakes into the Olympic cauldron. And instead of snow, the Canadian Olympic committee will rain down dipping dots of mayonnaise. Like I said, this is all rumor at this point. We'll know for sure on Friday.
