I can tell there are more here because I am starting to recognize the accent. So the answer to "are they all down here?" is YES THEY ARE.Big Sisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-56191029002720452152010-02-13T09:46:43.338-07:002010-02-13T09:46:43.338-07:00lizzie, they did look a little like marshmallow pe...lizzie, they did look a little like marshmallow people with their white quilted winter coats.

The people dressed in puffy white winter coats were like some sort of Canadian cheerleaders. They were on each side bopping up and down and cheering as the athletes came in. I wonder how they auditioned for that?Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-41424394852613601052010-02-13T06:22:05.676-07:002010-02-13T06:22:05.676-07:00I didn't watch the ceremony.

White puffy people has me visualising the marsh mallow man from ghostbusters, which would have been pretty impressive.<br />Hope you had a good sleep in and have an enjoyably doggy day. I have a feeling kids are easy compared with dogs!<br />LizzieLizzie @ her homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257339462096688164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-11035137588129147552010-02-12T23:51:36.121-07:002010-02-12T23:51:36.121-07:00I live 26 miles from Vancouver and it was very mil...I live 26 miles from Vancouver and it was very mild today. Lots of rain in Vancouver. And the ceremony was indoors. Here's a quote from Yahoo! Canada:<br /><br />Cold weather gear in a climate-controlled stadium -- Though each delegation (with the exception of Bermuda) looked like it was bundled up for a trip into the Canadian tundra, the temperature inside BC Place was actually a balmy 72 degrees.<br /><br />The joke is that the only snow around for these Olympics is the fake snow in the show!<br /><br />As for the puffy white people -- who knows? My favourite puffy white person was KD Lang. Donald Sutherland looked pretty good too.<br />I wish BC hadn't cut arts programs by more than half to pay for these games, but I'll watch some of the events. I prefer summer to winter almost everything.Popular Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894841186993769936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-32228151054334063982010-02-12T21:22:25.717-07:002010-02-12T21:22:25.717-07:00The theme seems to be dancing aboriginal people. ...The theme seems to be dancing aboriginal people. The announcers keep commenting that they have been dancing for an hour. I can't help thinking how cold that singer must be in that short dress with no sleeves. I would have insisted on a snow suit!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-25687329533157437402010-02-12T21:14:36.962-07:002010-02-12T21:14:36.962-07:00I can't figure out much of any of it.
