I know you've all asked yourselves: how would Herald Olympics 1988 vote if vintage Twitterbots could legally vote? NO. NOBODY SHALL ONE-UP ME, IN 2026, 2051 OR OTHERWISE.

but but but Jason Markusoff has so many witty glib points to make, both in reference to the Verified freezeout and current events. Any longer and he might start talking to his family as a fallback option.

I'll be very intrigued to see what kind of Opening show the Koreans put on this summer.

There's the Albertville '92 and Seoul '88 mascots romping around with Hidy and Howdy.

Back to kevin cottam's production numbers. inevitably, the cowboy skating scenes!

Mounties on black horses. Serge, cowboys... but where's the tribute to Alberta oil derricks?

Nice. Here's k.d. lang, the best li'l rockabilly singer. "Alberta's rose." All the athletes are leaving their seats to dance.

A blast. Missed that live? from my Tandy Replay app, here's the video replay of k.d. lang's tune: youtu.be/sxsUc6EdeRQ

Oh boy. heeeeere comes the #cantyoufeelit choir! song by officialdfoster & Tommy Banks.

Everybody from other production numbers is coming out now... oldtimey costume folk, Hidy, Howdy, everyone. I CAN FEEL IT, Calgary. I CAN.

Watch this (with new lyrics) for the volunteer choir, but also to get a sense of the sea of candles #cantyoufeelit choir

er, watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=7Ki16m…

Fireworks! Was one impressive minute of pyro. Pick and a preview of Herald's front page & Don Martin story: wp.me/p1IkT4-f0h

Crowd is leaving McMahon Stadium now. Flame's out, smoking rows of planes home all booked. So... I guess it's time for 88Live to sign off.

A giant thank you to all those of you who joined us over these 16 days. Canada didn't win Gold, but wow did Calgary throw a great party.

I'd like to personally thank the many 88Live followers who shared photos & memories. And athletes like Brian Boitano Karen Percy Lowe Lee Gartner

Couldn't have done this, of course, without our stellar roster of Calgary Herald editors and reporters. Thanks so much to all of them/you.

It's been a privilege & treat to share this live-tweeting with you all. Merci beaucoup and good night, Herald Olympics 1988 (aka Jason @Markusoff)

this Olympic hangover is KILLING ME, just as they warned it would. The eight Paralyzers that I drank may have added to it.

YES YES YES YES GOODNESS PLEASE calgaryherald.com/news/local-new… youtube.com/watch?v=4aFtFO…
