    Canadian figure skating

    Super super late to this, and a bit thread drifty, but my wonderful skate tech, the late Jim Reid, was skate tech for Vancouver and DC Worlds. He turned down the 2010 Vancouver Olympics because he was expected to volunteer his time, which meant closing down his shop for the duration, and they...

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    My takeaway from this is that there are people on That Hellsite who actually thought that they should count the words in the bios, and that those people should touch grass. I had been agnostic about Canada's status as a constitutional monarchy for a long time, but at this point, frankly, the...

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    Britney Spears had a lingerie line years ago. I grudgingly ended up with a bra from a local shop. It’s a great bra, and it’s lasted ridiculously long - I think 10 years? - though I feel ambivalent about the thing every time I wear it.

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    I have no idea whether whatever she's planning would have been successful before she married (and given that nobody's seen it yet, I don't think anyone reasonably could). And I don't care for influencers, nor for lifestyle brands, so I'm not about to try. Having this kind of branding at the...

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    Well, her last name isn't Markle any more (and that surname is from a patrilineal dumpster fire, so who'd want it?), so I guess she could use "Meghan Sussex," but why? She gave up her career to marry, and given the unremitting vitriol she gets for having married and for having that title, it...

    WME having a mole in the Colbert writers' room seems like a bit of a stretch.

    Can you source this? I don't think Scobie has made that claim.

    Surely Canadians can form our own opinions about our head of state and his family?

    Music group sues NBC, US figure skating pair over use of song during Winter Olympics

    "Mick Marderosian, the group's attorney and father" :rolleyes: Perhaps within their rights (I know little about US copyright law) but definitely douchebro territory here.

    Jean Senft - Order of Canada

    lol 1998 as corrected, they're all a blur at this point, will do penance by reading the the entire set of comments under a Sale-Pelletier youtube video

    Jean Senft - Order of Canada

    Haven't been here in a while, good to see you could still clear a city's roads with the salt from people's 2000 Olys takes

    Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #48: Long Time Running

    @RoseRed cited V/M's unusual career-long versatility in the ODs and SDs as an indicator that they were likely to be the more versatile team generally. You've caromed off to something that no sensible reading of her post supports and really ought to step off.
