Let's watch skating together! Thursday, March 19th

[alchemy void]

I love the "helpful" text on the screen: "Going for 3-peat" "Brand new program"

I feel like Johnny and Tara could easily be replaced by stuff like that and long as it written a sufficiently flamboyant font. Maybe fluorescent pink Comic Sans.

I feel like it's a low-rent Pop Up Video knock off?

 

[annie720]

Messy landings

 

[alchemy void]

It would have been more fun to snark on the Broken Arrow program

Totally. So much better than generic Tosca.

Totally. So much better than generic Tosca.

Although that hand shaking into a triple lutz fall made me laugh

 

[meggonzo]

Ooo was Vanessa Riley the British judge?

 

[alchemy void]

5.8s for that.

 

[Kateri]

"His mother's home videos got the attention of Alexei Mishin"

I bet they did...

 

[alchemy void]

This is a competition I never need to see again

Plush Pop Enrages Dick

That's the headline I want everyday, everywhere.

 

[alchemy void]

Come on Plushy try the 4T one more time plz

 

[Aerobicidal]

Watching Plushenko is reminding me of Father Son "Sex Bomb" which makes me said we will never get to snark on Soucisse and Firus for censoring their "Sex Bomb." I have hoping to show that to some friends who usually don't watch skating but would have watched Worlds.

I realize this is a really minor regret in the grand scheme of things.

 

[alchemy void]

does the French crowd boo at everything?

 

[alchemy void]

A little Mikey and Lisa PDA to end the day, just perfect.

 

[Aerobicidal]

"Did you need all your heart and desire in this performance?"

I need someone to ask that to Bradie Tennell so she can make a totally blank face and say, "Yeah."

 

[Kateri]

wife yells from the sofa: "Did he just say he wished he could skate KINKIER??"

me: .............................................."CLEAN HERE. he wished he could skate clean here."

 

[alchemy void]

All right, that's it for now.

We'll do 2010 Olympics OD tomorrow for sure, and I'm open for any other suggestions, as well.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Thanks! I will be there for the OD.

 

[Kateri]

Awesome, see you tomorrow!

 

[rfisher]

I'm going to have to do better tomorrow. Too much student and faculty drama. I told them all to chill and it would all be solved by the end of August. I'm going home early so I can laugh in the comfort of my den.

 

[mjb52]

If I would have followed closely back then, I would have uber'd Anton so damn hard!

This was the start of serious Georgian power in the sport of figure skating...

 

[VGThuy]

Can I put a recommendation for 2016 Worlds FD? IMO, one of the best skated Worlds for ice dance.
