Didn't Johnny Weir once skate to music specifically composed for him?

My brother now has a theory- that after the Italians take an early surprise lead in speedskating, they are sabotaging the ice for the later skaters during resurfacing. :lol: It didn't even helpbwhen I told him the ice master is Canadian. Also, he's totally into the figure skating team event...

Is it me, or are the Norwegian curling uniforms....tragically normal this year?

I skate with and am an officer for my local speedskating club. It is affiliated with US Speedskating, which meant that I had to join US Speedskating and complete the safe sport training in order to skate with my club. The problem with relying on volunteers isn't so much finding the time it...

Yes, there are definitely issues, but I do think it's easier when the issues are clear. Maybe the discussion about passive-aggressive behavior versus visible abuse is a good analogy: the conflicts of interest with Gabriella and Ben are pretty clear, and I even remember from time to time on air...

I actually think it's worse to have a commentator with financial relationships with many different skaters, as when Scott was commentating on skaters who appeared in his Stars On Ice tours. It's easy to recuse yourself or have a disclaimer when commentating on one team.

Curious: who is allowed to buy property in the UK? What are the requirements?

Home-made green tea ice tea with hand-squeezed lime juice. I also drink two diet cokes a day.

Hello, my name is kedrin, and I have a documentary problem! Mainly history, art, travel, and nature. I probably have downloaded hundreds. :slinkaway:slinkaway:slinkaway History: Ken Burns: in addition to the ones listed above- The Vietnam War anything by Mary Beard- she focuses mainly on...

I just picked up the complete Diane Rigg Avengers DVDs when I was in San Francisco! Amoeba Records FTW. :respec::respec::respec:.

I've been really quiet in these threads for this reason, because I had to dump a friend who raped someone, and also had to deal with the fall out as this happened in the context of an organization, so watching how MIA has handled this cuts really close. In the case of the organization I'm...

I met Ruth Buzzi, and.....she hit me with her purse! In a good way. RIP.

I get slightly nauseous on any spin.

Yeah- not sure what's going on here.
