Welcome to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London with Chariots of Fire and Mr. Bean Tram!

Welcome to the Drunken Gaming Corner’s coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London!  I am very excited and honored to bring it to you!

I’m looking forward to an interesting Olympiad, complete with a runner with artificial legs, and a female shooter that is eight months pregnant!  A blind Olympian has broken the world record in Archery, with a score of 699 out of 700.  Amazing!

Hoi Bradley Wiggins, winner of the Tour de France!  Great to see you!  Yes indeed, the Isle is full of noises tram!

The Ceremonies start with a pastoral scene, then transitions to the Industrial Revolution, with the sod, fencing, and such removed and smoke stacks rising from the floor.  Lights resembling molten metal flow to form an Olympic Ring, then four more rings float in to form the complete Olympic Rings, with shooting fireworks!  Wheeees!!!!

Queen Elizabeth has arrived via “jumping” out of the helicopter with James Bond, and here she doesn’t look all that happy about the international celebration unfolding before her:

  

Hallos Nurses!  Hallo JK Rawlings!  Hoi Queen of Hearts!  Hello Mary Poppins!

LOL!  Matt Laurer can’t decide if the big plastic baby in the middle of the stadium is cute or creepy – LOL!

Chariots of Fire Tram!  There is Mr. Bean ‘playing’ along as he ‘checks’ his cell phone – LOL!

Honestly, I’m glad that I have a great sense of humors here because I could easily get offended here since I have a high school record in cross-country running, and Chariots of Fire was one of the things that got us athletes through, along with Eye of the Tiger – LOL!  So Thank You, Jolly Ole England for the Chariots of Fire Tram!!!

Put that gadget down now tram – LOL!  Hello Kinks Tram!!!  Hello Beatles!!!  Yes indeed Led Zeppelin, I would love to talk about love, ohhhh!!!!  That song is actually about a car, but whatever – LOL!

This is the real life tram by Queen Tram!   Hallos, Frankie Goes to Hollywood!  Relax, don’t do it tram!!

Eurothmics are great!  Sweet Dreams are made of this!  Whoo-hoo!  Ahhhs, world wide web for everyone tram!

Here comes the Olympic torch with David Beckham, up the Thames River in a speed boat!  He grew up in the area the Olympics are being held.

 Hoi Greece Tram!  Hello Afghani Team!  Albania, perhaps you can win this year!

Wow, I am encouraged!  There is a trap shooter in his 60’s from Andorra, small country between France and Spain!  You go trap shooter go!

Hoi Canada tram!! Nee how, Chinese Peeps!  I see you, looking all about the stadium, youthful lady athlete!  I wish you much luck and prosperity because you will need it in China!  So much competition!

Awwws, I love you toos, three Independent athletes!  You go!

Great to see you Iraqi ladies!  I will cheer for you toos!

The Olympic Stadium is starting to fill up with athletes from around the world!  Cause if I had the chance I would ask the world to dance tram!

I am encouraged in seeing more Arab women participating in the Games, such as the flag bearer for Qatar.  Go ladies Go!  Saudi Arabia has two female athletes marching today tram!  Yays!

I love your uniforms Togo!  Bright Green patterns!  Awesome!

Vanuatu has amazing outfits tram!  Yays!  Hoi Zambia!  I am hoping for your future too! 

 Then we saw the Olympic flame brought in and given to the kids to light the flame!  Wheeees!

What a great Opening Ceremony!  So great to see everyone!  Good luck and have fun!

 

 

 

Final Stage in Paris! Drink Up Meh Hearties!

by

So nice to know you, Tour de France!  Today is the final day of the Tour de Underpants and I will miss it so much! I will be taking a much-deserved blogging break until the Olympics in London begin! Meh hearties are in luck because this lil Ettetram has also been to London, so I have plenty of ‘insightful’ comments to share, such as successfully navigating the Port-a-Loo in WaterLoo Station! Wheeeees!

Since today is the finale of the Tour, we must have Champagne!  The Wine of the Day is Pol Roger Non-Vintage!  Delicious, complex layers of light green apple, vanilla, oak, mature mushroom, and chalk with a hint of bright lime citrus make this an excellent Champagne with most any meal, by itself, or out on a picnic or camping!  Have a fun adventure and bring the Pol Roger and Wiggo too!  Yays!

Stage 20 begins in Rambouillet, winds along the Seine River to finish on the amazing Champs-Elysees.  Will Wiggo win the Tour de France today?  Only time will tell!!!  So party on me hearties with the Drunken Gaming Corner!  Yays!!

They are cruising along through a wooded area with the riders chatting with each other and shaking hands with the peeps in the team cars.  What a great race, everyone!!!!! Nicely done and way to overcome many challenges including nails on the course and many many crashes!!!  See many of you in London Town!

 Now Team Sky is posing for a pict as the cruise along a straight away.  Lookin great guys!!!  Wheeees!

 Someone is munching on a power bar as they ride along.   nomnomnomnom!

 Ooohhh, epic Palace of Versailles, located about 15 miles outside of Paris!

Nice easy ride along the River Seine as peeps pack in on the bridge to watch!  Cool Radio France building!  Now they are in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower as they continue up the Seine River. 

Now they are ramping up the speed on the Champs-Elysees!  It’s fun to window shop, where a person can get everything from an excellent meal to some new clothes to new electronics to a new convertible – LOL!  So Party down on the Champs-Elysees!

Now they are going in front of the Louvre and the Ferris Wheel!!!! Wheeees!!!  Ooops!  Someone had a flat tire!

Cool Place de la Concord building and the Obelisk, a gift from Egypt!  Cool!

Anyone could win at this point.  Oh noes, someone else had a mechanical issue too!

Hello, golden Joan of Arc, watching the Tour as it emerges from a tunnel.  Just three laps to go and it’s still anyone’s race today!

Three riders are in the lead at the moment, with just a couple miles left.  Which one will be able to pull it off?

 The bell for the final lap is ringing as the riders really start cranking it up!  Go everyone go!

Ooops, someone crashed right in the last lap!  A few people went down!  Looks like everyone is OK!

The peloton has caught the three leaders and it’s anyone’s race!  Wiggo has taken the lead in the last mile!  Edvald Boessen Hagen took the lead for a bit, then Mark Cavandish started sprinting for all he’s worth and was able to hang on to the lead through the finish, for his fourth victory on the Champs-Elysees!  Great job!!!!

 

Nibali Vincenzo is Today’s Bulge of the Day winner since he appears to have a large circle around his protruding vagina cup!   LOL!

As much as I love jolly ole England, looking like one is wearing an oversized flag really isn’t that great of a look. It would have been better if her flag/skirt was better fitting.

Thank you for the warm memories of blogging about the 2012 Tour de Underpants here in the Drunken Gaming Corner!  It’s been a totally epic journey through France, including visits to Belgium and Switzerland!  So Party on, Everyone Tram!!!!  Yays!!!!
