OK, don't hate the commentators so much because they explained how the order is different because of the chinese language and thus how they order "alphabetically" (not really) in chinese.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lot of these athletes are really good looking.

I was just thinking that man, what a parade of attractive people!

I guess it's the combination of good health + happy people?

I think a lot of the attractiveness comes from the look on their faces. Who isn't beautiful with a huge, joyful smile on their face? I'm happy for every single one of them.

I love the tiny countries with a few athletes. It's just so... big and pure for them. It's what the Olympics are about.
And those damned Brazilians are sooooo freakin' gorgeous.

Because books.
I didn't miss the US, right?

Nope
About 2/3 of the way through the parade, so still a ways to go.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I didn't miss the US, right?
Don't think so (unless I did, but I wasn't offline long enough to miss such a big team). They should be about 2/3 of the way through the whole big thing.
