Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What filmed bit, Jesse?

The one where the Queen choppered in with James Bond.

I knew the Chick-Fil-A PR head back when I was a reporter. I had no idea he was there for 30 years. He included a coupon for a free sandwich with every press release.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There have been a lot of film clips. It makes me wonder what the audience in the stadium was seeing.

They have 3d glasses. OMG, this is like every 80s night at the Depot in G'boro!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jeepers, this retrospective of British popular music is going on a really long time. Sure, there was a lot of it, but do they have to play every single hit single in the last forty years? Damn, I bet the Queen wishes she were home in bed right about now.

I hate commentators. Always have, every Olympics.

Who are the commentators?

I wanted to see the Queen's reaction during the house party at the end. The punk bit was kind of awesome.

Thrive to spite them

One Olympics the commentator for the gymantstics (possibly John Tesh, I'm not sure) kept using "histrionic" instead of "historic."

I only remember this because it sent Dad in near hysterics every time it happened.

I wish they would feel like it was okay to shut up during things.

It is confusing, mixing of the stuff that clearly had to have been filmed earlier and integrated, and the live stuff. It kinda diminishes the live stuff. I prefer an all live show. And of course, Beijing was just NUTS due to sheer size.
