Or the first one to light a crack pipe off an Olympic torch.

And when he jumps in his car blasted out of his mind later and runs a kid over, the world will look at us and say we have the very bestest role models.

Yeah, couldn't find anyone better than that.

He and Ross (the snowboarder) could flick roaches to light the torch.

Now now Kreskin, let's not start an international incident... the Russians think he's actually one of them.

All those old stories are folklore. We got the real one. I can tell by the red suit.

Rick Hanson- a true sports hero inspite of extreme adversity, who I've never heard of doing anything where he has shown anything short of class.

The RAF using sparklers (torch) dropped from a low-level mach 1.2 aircraft. That would ignite the fireworks piled around the base of the soon to be lit torch. After that 20min display (spectators very close but behind clear panels so they aren't harmed) the torch is said to be lit and the fun begins.
What could possible go wrong?

Who will light the Olympic torch? -- Up until Thursday night, former hockey star Wayne Gretzky had been the clubhouse favorite to light the Olympic cauldron. The Great One arrived in Vancouver earlier in the week, his father already served as a torchbearer and Gretzky himself had dodged all questions about the lighting of the cauldron. He also was the choice of Canadians, earning the most votes in a poll asking who should be the final torchbearer. But late Thursday night VANOC chief John Furlong said definitively that the Ontario native and 2002 gold medal-winning coach will not light the cauldron. This development perhaps opens up the door for Betty Fox, the mother of the late cancer activist Terry Fox. The Vancouver native, whose statue rests outside the venue for the Opening Ceremony, raised millions for research of the disease with his runs in the 1970s. Since his death in 1981, his mother has kept his memory and foundation alive. We predict that Gretzky will be the penultimate torchbearer and hand-off to Fox, who will light the flame.
