#TeamTrainwreck 20: Large Caliber Weapon

[Vagabond]

Ha ha. I was implying that we could have more dance teams, not fewer.

I know.

 

[Dobre]

And yet Shpilevaya, Anastasia / Smirnov, Grigory are on the team.


For reference:

Popova/Mozgov
-4 GP appearances, top finish 6th
-5 Challenger medals
-winner of TTW alt worlds (Universiade)

Shpilevaya/Smirnov
-1 GP appearance, top finish 6th
-no challenger medals
-couldn't even medal at Universiade (5th)

This.

Also . . .
P&M
-Results at Nationals, 4th twice.

S&S
-Results at Nationals, 6th

if i recall correctly, a coup is attempted every time he goes on vacation, That's how Radionova and Tukt got onto the train.

Actually, I THINK the last coup was putting Emmi Peltonen on the team, which I endorsed. Not my finest moment.

Rad and Tuk were added by Daddy and I.

I'd love to see Popova/Mozgov on the team. @Dobre's petition has merit; I don't think impeachment proceedings are required.

Maybe we can bargain: If Kleenex girl lands 3F3T at Euros, the P/M make the team?

And you call this a bargain? More like a surrender.

 

[Ka3sha]

Call it a mentality and all, but am against impeachment as well

She landed it at her last event!

 

[Dobre]

I don't think we should require a coup or a bargain. P&M should be on the team because they belong on the team. Via their own merit, which is check, check, check right on down the line. Plus, you know, all those videos Ka3sha linked. Let's ignore the haters & bow to fate.

P and M perks: Headband, garters on both!,tattoos, straps and buckles galore, dangling skate lace, potential for her to slice open his back while standing for the lift, double fall as the coup de gras.

Sometimes it takes several revolutions before tyranny can be cast aside once and for all. Look at France, for example!

@Mad for Skating, your time would be better spent on your own blog.

Da bossman is a man with an unimpeachable character.

Ah, don’t worry, I can manage my blog and run an impeachment campaign at the same time. I am a woman of many talents.

Call it a mentality and all, but am against impeachment as well

Ka3sha, I expected more sense from you! I guess some people are content to live under this dictatorship, but not me!

Oh, stop whinging, and do come by for some latkes!

That's our boy!

The next thread title should be "A Fragile Product."

 

[Vagabond]

Yellow alert! Yellow alert! Daddy may not be "back," but he is lurking! I repeat: Daddy is lurking!

 

[Jeschke]

Actually, I THINK the last coup was putting

Karly on watchlist was later and we just put the grumpy boobs on the actual team latey (we all know she will be gone with the next kibosh).
These were way better coups

 

[Jeschke]

Yellow alert! Yellow alert!

Red alert!

Daddy may not be "back," but he is lurking!

IS!

Daddy is lurking!

As if I ever lurked in here

 

[Jeschke]

It' christmas, and bossman was fed very well so far, which actually leaves me always in a very good mood, so that's how we go with Popova/Mozgov:

1) Bossman still thinks they are entertaining as hell but no heartbreak at all.

but

2) Christmas = #softieboss (and the actual campaign 534656 by @Dobre and @Ka3sha was more than solid)

--> 2 ways to get in:

1) Same as for Efimova/Korovin: 10 pro votes in a day. Start voting in 3, 2, 1, now!

or

2)

Maybe we can bargain: If Kleenex girl lands 3F3T at Euros, the P/M make the team?

Double the chance. If they fail then, I don't know if this shows, they are real trainwreck or what?

Side note: I have doubts based on Krylova's words if they ever come back, but well, that would be very #ttw appropriate too, being put on the team to be never seen again

 

[Jeschke]

An lil'Kiddo, it's christmas, slow down, eat some cookies, have some quality time with friends and family, spread some love and if you still don't like travelling by train, you can always choose the submarine, zeppelin or bobby-car

Thanks so much.
This is too good! I like the embarassed laugh by 2/3 of the trio deluxe! So so good!

I will miss entire day tomorrow at RUS nationals.
So may the force be with us, the jumps/twizzles with our folks, and the wine with @taz'smum !

 

[Dobre]

Vote 1: I vote to put Popova & Mozgov on the team!

Vote # 2!

 

[Vagabond]

Vote according to your heart's desire, but remember that da bossman can put the kibosh on membership at any time.

Vote #4!

I notice that @Dobre is engaging in shameless electioneering outside this thread.

Bossman, this why Rule #3 calls for a consensus among longstanding #TTW posters.

Where will this all end?

Oh, relax, #VagabondwhoshouldnotbeScrooge

It is Christmas Day. Well, it is still Christmas Day in my time zone for two more hours. Most people will probably not be recovered enough from turkey/pie/ham/sweet-potatoes/Christmas-cheer/waking-up-at-five-a.m.-to-unwrap-presents-etc.-to-even-find-the-Team-Trainwreck-thread.

Dobre
(who may now be compelled to shamelessly electioneer in the Russian Ice Dance play-by-play thread but will more likely still be zzzzz because it is apparently scheduled for at least three hours before any human being in my time zone should be awake).

 

[kwanfan1818]

I think Popova/Mozgov would be a worthy addition to #TTW.

 

[mjb52]

I don't know that I have a vote but if I do I am all in for Popova & Mozgov and if I don't then I am voting anyway! I'm from the Chicago area, so I am ready to vote twice if it will help. That's what we did there back in the day, according to legend.

 

[Mad for Skating]

Oh, stop whinging, and do come by for some latkes!

I can eat and talk politics at the same time

An lil'Kiddo, it's christmas, slow down, eat some cookies, have some quality time with friends and family, spread some love and if you still don't like travelling by train, you can always choose the submarine, zeppelin or bobby-car

I’m assuming you’re referring to me as “lil’Kiddo”
Ah, I know the tactics of tyrants. Tomorrow, you’ll probably tell me I’m just a teenager with an anger management problem who should be chilling and watching a movie with a friend

Vote according to your heart's desire, but remember that da bossman can put the kibosh on membership at any time.

Totalitarianism is an ugly thing.

 

[Mad for Skating]

I think Popova/Mozgov would be a worthy addition to #TTW.

Here’s vote #5!

I don't know that I have a vote but if I do I am all in for Popova & Mozgov and if I don't then I am voting anyway! I'm from the Chicago area, so I am ready to vote twice if it will help. That's what we did there back in the day, according to legend.

Vote #6. I’d let you vote twice, but we can’t condone any ballot-stuffing. We’re going to win this election fair and square.
