A FARM ANIMAL IS DOING SOMETHING ... UNPLANNED:  BroBible, GQ UK, BBB, and no doubt other sites are starting to form rules for an London Olympics Opening Ceremonies Drinking Game for this evening.  We can do better.

  • Michael Phelps' mom is shown.
  • An American athlete is highlighted who doesn't play basketball, gymnastics, track (they're not talking to field), swimming, or beach volleyball.
  • A non-US, non-basketball athlete is highlighted by NBC (2)
  • Pompous "Olympic ideals" bullshit from Rogge.
  • Costas makes some reference to the tension when Iran and Iraq follow each other in procession, as well as Ireland's serving as a buffer between those two and Israel.
  • A Python, Steve Coogan, or the AbFab ladies.
  • Her Majesty is dour (1), politely smiling (2), authentically happy (chug).
  • Princesses Eugenie or Beatrice are seen, double if wearing hats.
  • Correctly predicting a nation whose initial entry during the Parade of Nations is bumped by NBC for a commercial.
  • Costas references, in any way, the 1904 St. Louis Olympics (chug).
  • Full male frontal nudity, like they had in the 2004 Athens opening ceremony.
