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?

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.

Oh jesus. Presidential ads already. Fuck.
I saw the Jamaican team and went whoot! Because I know 3 nationals. Um.
I adore the small teams from obscure countries. Because they are.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I find it amusing that the Canadian and US costumes are so close to each other - Canadians are more casual, but we're both still rocking the driving cap and light pants.
(I unabashedly loved the Canadian costumes for Calgary. Big cowboy hats and greatcoats? SO THERE.)

Worked for a Brazilian company once. Beauty did indeed seem to be a national characteristic. Of course at the particular place I worked, all the Brazilians also spoke at least four languages, so maybe not a statistically valid sample.

I loved Barbados-- they looked so groovy and like "Hey man, party time" and yet snazzy at the same time.
