With out-of-the-box thinking like that Woodman I reckon there'll be no problem in upstaging what China did.

Maybe for the 2012 Opening Ceremony in London, Bilbo and Mirkwood could get together. Bilbo could hook some pipes together into an interesting design and Mirkwood could spray paint them using pretty pastel colors. Beijing, eat your hearts out!

Thinking a little more about that suggestion, maybe it'd be better to just splice together some 'best of' Monty Python bits and put them up on a big screen.
