I am sorry, I have organs on the mind, and not the musical kind.

Y'all are hilarious about the doobie. And I swear, I'm gonna get banned here. You won't believe this but I made the same mistake just now as I did earlier. That's what I get for trying to do 2 things at once. And I haven't even had any adult beverages tonight. Maybe that's my problem....

The key to world peace, light a giant doobie for all countries to partake. (I am only kidding!) HP - you must explain your organ comment... is it the organ I'm thinking of? If so, why would you light it on fire?

Well, dear innocent ones, I could try to use metaphorical language, but bluntly (oh, no!!), to me it was like the origin of life. First the item was horizontal, then it 'lit up with life' and went vertical. Then fireworks appeared. Do I need to spell that out? Gawd. Has Ed been sick that long that everything evokes the physical for me???? LOL!!

You know, in my innocence I watched that ceremony and the lighting of the flame and while I enjoyed it I didn't think to much further about it. Now thanks to you guys I'm sitting here with a big dopey grin on my face. LOL.

I did not like what the Americans were wearing. Overall, their clothing wouldn't have been so bad....but those hideous blue shoes ruined it all. BLECH. Colored tennis shoes are just not attractive, IMO. I was a bit disappointed with the way they lit the torch. That was a bit too phallic and well, strange. But, that stadium was gorgeous. The lighting, the overall ceremony, the fireworks at the end...lovely! I think they really set the bar high for the ceremony portion. The parade was interesting and visually entertaining.

The hats the Americans wore reminded me of those that the volunteer group who patrolled the streets of New York wore (how many years ago?)--while they purportedly protected citizens from muggers, etc. (Someone help me remember what they called themselves.) I didn't care for their hats then, and I don't like these. The rest of the outfit is okay; nothing special. Didn't notice the shoes, but I would agree with Spy in that carrying the navy to the shoes sounds like a mistake. And see, I wasn't the only one to see what I saw in the torch lighting? (Spy again.) I am used to scrutinizing visuals with an eye out for sexual innuendo. So to me, the image was unmistakable. But I admit my reaction reflects my background in marketing/advertising.

I have a weird form of CRS. Sometimes, for no good reason, I remember some obscure fact....but can't remember some other important, more relevant thing I should remember. LOL!
