The spice girls to my niece were like the Beatles and the Who were to my generation.Terrific Closing Ceremonies London... in fact terrific all around.
Was it my imagination.. or with all of the performances of Rock gods and legends.. acknowledged or in person.. covering 50 years and 5 generations of musical eras... that the LOUDEST ovation of the night went to... The Spice Girls... oh well!!
Cant wait to see a video of the whole closing performance,the last one posted was removed by user.
Really sucks that CBC is the only Canadian network that can show any of the games.
And I hear they paid lots for these rights.

nothing wrong with that at all, and i've heard them say it too. good for them, they
are proud of who they are.
most all of us in canada have another country to put in front of our canadianism, with me its irish-canadian,
which I called myself often as a child, and also had to write that on many government forms.
that slowly faded away politically, but in reality, it is there.
sure the african american blacks do have a 'different' past, and we don't forget that, but they are
proud americans, and 'do' say that, i've heard it often, just like any other americans.
and the title 'african american' only arrived to get rid of that 'negro' expression, and
it does sound much more respectful to say african american.
Oh I know a lot of my countrymen. And I know if a white guy walks up to African-Americans and asks what part of Africa they are from the white guy is most likely going to get his azz kicked.
African-Americans researching their heritage has nothing to do with some dumb azz asking them what part of Africa they are from.
Right and one after another with no breaks in between. Those Tweets are suspect.
We know you're a racist
My favorite moment of the Closing Ceremonies was seeing Christine Sinclair's ear-to-ear smile as she proudly carried the Canadian flag.
Other than that and shots of all the athletes finally able to let their hair down and have some fun.........I came away a bit puzzled about it all - though I did sing along with Eric Idle. Quite the spectacle.
Am now looking forward to watching as much coverage as I can of the Para-Olympics.
GO, CANADA, GO :canada:

A save call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee was attending a great but
as yet unnamed athletic festival 2500 years ago in Greece.
In those days believe it or not the athletes performed naked.
To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on drink
containing saltpeter before and throughout the variety of events.
At the opening ceremonial parade Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked
magnificent males marching toward her and she exclaimed: " OH!! Limp Pricks!"
Over the next two and a half millennia that morphed into " Olympics".

True. They do seem to follow one another as if it was done by the same party.
I don't really want to wade through 14 pages to see if this has been answered, so I am hopeful that someone will give me the answer here. Who won the women's soccer, the US or Japan?
Yes - very intense. Superbly well played by both squads.
I felt very bad when we were beaten in the World Cup. But I had the solace that Japan really needed it because of the tragedy of the tsunami. Well, now it was time for revenge and we got it!
