I’ve got the closing ceremonies recording in case Rush perform, as is rumored. If they do, would someone be so kind as to let me know the approximate time they’re on? I’d really appreciate it, since it’d make the fast forwarding to that part a lot easier. 🙂 ---

> [@sinjin](#): > > Oops, sorry mate. I just so loved the guy fixing the torch at the beginning I forgot to toss the left-over u in. Bygones neighbour. I thought it was pretty funny too. Best use of a mime I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame they mucked it up with lame music though. Should have had the Tragically Hip up there rather than that lame pop crap. ---

We just watched some people performing (Eva Avila and two others) some extremely lame pop song, and after they finished their lame performance, the big finish was this little “psst” of confetti coming out. Jim and I both busted out laughing. Yeah, I guess we do have a sense of humour. 😃 ---

Jim and I both busted out laughing. Yeah, I guess we do have a sense of humour. 😃 Depends on your point of view. Mrsin suggested the confetti was really new improved lightweight condoms for the olympic village kids. We laughed too. ---

By the punctuation in the OP, I guess there is only one Canadian with a sense of humor. Just as I thought 😃 ---

The montage with all the Canadian athletes apologizing had me just about rolling off the couch. 🙂 ---

I thought Shatner, O’Hara and Fox – all of whom I love – were not at all funny. ☹ The Busby Berkley number was fun, though. I missed the very end - was there any nod to the next country to host? I thought that was a tradition. ---
