NOTHING will EVER trump the giant inflatable beavers. EVER. Canada just won the Olympics ceremonies for the rest of history.

8. I am kinda with you Skittles...
it is oh so cheesy in that Canadian way.

Of course, having Neil Young sing that song made everything better.

And the giant dancing neon maple leafs....

9. Costas had to say "giant inflatable beavers"........hahahahaha!
That was almost the bestus part.

Michael Buble singing "Maple Leaf Forever" was the best. My Canadian father taught me that song when I was a little child and my dad would be 101 years old today.

14. I rewound that moment twice.
I'm waiting for it to show up on The Soup.

"Who doesn't like a giant, inflatable beaver?" :rofl: Priceless.

10. Celine Dion and Anne Murray weren't available
Edited on Mon Mar-01-10 02:44 AM by Sebastian Doyle
...and they couldn't get the Platinum Blonde reunion off the ground.

Where the Hell is Loverboy, damn it? They're probably the biggest band to ever come out of Vancouver.

(Commercially speaking, of course. You know damn well they wouldn't put DOA or No Means No on the air)

11. I was in a bar and only saw bits, didn't hear any of it. But Shatner was there, right?
If Shatner was there, it couldn't have been too bad.

Plus, the self-ribbing about the third tower that failed to rise in the opening ceremony was cool, from a distracted, visual-only pov...
