2025 US Nats Mens SP PBP - Wich You Were Here

[Matryeshka]

OK. Am I hallucinating, or is there a giant bear mouse thing standing in the shadows of one of the rink entries.

THERE IT IS AGAIN.

WTF? I feel like it's a harbinger of....something. I mean, it might mean everyone falls. It might mean I need to eat some honey and/or cheese. BUT IT MEANS SOMETHING.

Anyone else see the scary big plushie teddy bear skater waiting in the wings? He was bobbing his head and clapping with Maxim finished his skate. Like some kind of frightening hallucination come to life.

Yes. Yes I saw it. Thank god it wasn’t just me.

 

[once_upon]

Artists I could do without
Celine, Sarah Brightman, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Tony Bennett, Gene Kelly, Botelli,
I'm sure I can add as we go along

 

[Rukia]

[genevieve]

Everyone move over to the FD thread! See y'all later for group 3

 

[MacMadame]

On the replay, it looked like he just missed touching the board.

It's just all kinds of wrong.

 

[mtnskater]

Bah judges on the Liam inflation. Otherwise pretty much agree with the placements. Especially my man Mindra!

 

[Braulio]

Naumehv in second? just because he attempted the quad...

 

[Rob]

I love Maxim’s skating and I want the quad back for him. Can I give back my Christmas presents and ask for consistency for Max?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Now we go to the dance thread?

 

[Matryeshka]

It's never good when Five Nights at Freddie's becomes Five Nights at Prevagen

 

[Karen-W]

On the replay, it looked like he just missed touching the board.

Well, it certainly sounded like he touched the board.

 

[Karen-W]

Naumehv in second? just because he attempted the quad...

Well, he did land a really nice 3A too. Tech content completed was higher than pretty much every other man but Kapeikis.

I could do without any vocals whatsoever. (But that's just me... )

 

[MacMadame]

I have death in my soul about the dis to Sinatra and Bennett.

Ain't nothin' wrong with a good Sinatra or Bennett program. Same for Elvis.

 

[beckab81]

Highlights for me from the first 2 groups were Mindra, Savery & Strommer. Feels very strange not to see the rest and to switch over to dance now...

IT HAS A NAME? I am going to see that in my nightmares.

 

[Jammers]

The USFSA needs to tell NBC they are doing the schedule their way and not what fits NBC. Screw them for this cluster**** of a schedule.

 

[genevieve]

It feels like we should be gearing up for the FS finale. I just looked at the order and was slightly surprised

 

[Theatregirl1122]

IT HAS A NAME? I am going to see that in my nightmares.

I have a stuffy of one from a past skate america.

I have put skating on the projector at robotics. We are currently working on awards submissions, making buttons, and watching skating.

[MacMadame]

WHY IS JOHNNY DRESSED LIKE A CARDASSIAN ON STAR TREK???
