call me silly, but...

...the opening ceremony to the olympics kinda gives me the creeps. there's something really odd about seeing world-class athletes being introduced, carrying the flags of their respective homelands and waving to the crowd, while "funkytown" is being played.

no shit -- the following are actual quotes from the two men who are emceeing this whole affair, w/r/t the 1980s american music soundtrack that's being blasted in the stadio olimpico in torino:

commentator number 1: if i hear "bette davis eyes" by the immortal kim carnes, my night will be complete!
commentator number 2: donna summer would do it for me!

there's really only one word for this: fantram.

(hmmm... i could have avoided this had i gone out tonight. maybe i should just go to bed and start all over tomorrow...)
