[Karen-W]

Hehehe... you know you're a figure skating fan when you can tell it's a freakin' Chaplin program even when the music is inaudible.

 

[Wyliefan]

I am so sleepy. I had hopes of getting all the way through, but it's not happening. Gonna try to hang on through Ash and Atl at least.

 

[Karen-W]

No Chaplin program is ever "very, very charming," Ted. Very very saccharine, yes. Very very twee, absolutely. But very very charming? Impossible.

[Wyliefan]

Ted is still calling him "Alt."

 

[Karen-W]

Omg... not just Britain, Ted! It's the entire internet that calls them the "Baby Brits."

 

[Wyliefan]

Hey, they fixed the sound!

 

[airgelaal]

Sound?!

 

[Karen-W]

Ted is still calling him "Alt."

I'm convinced Ted is dyslexic. Or some similar letter/reading type of learning disability. There is no way he can be this bad with names without having some sort of issue that impacts his sight reading to speech brain wiring.

 

[Karen-W]

Hey, they fixed the sound!

No they didn't. It's just that Great Balls of Fire is louder.

 

[Wyliefan]

No they didn't. It's just that Great Balls of Fire is louder.

No, they really did. Midway through (before GBoF) it suddenly came up to a normal level.

Can we get "Alt" an "Alt" computer key that is spelled "Atl"?

OK, good night, all. Cheer for the Germans for me.

 

[Karen-W]

Lol... and there goes the music again. It's in and out of normal sound level.

 

[airgelaal]

Girl, you'll be a woman soon.
At what age do the Japanese get a passport?

Good skate for this team given some of the performances they've had this season.

87.74 = 2nd Place
144.55 = 2nd Place

 

[Frau Muller]

Pedersen and Chen finally got a clean FP, after faults in past competitions. But it’s POTO… grr…

 

[skatfan]

All I can think of is the Davis/white version.

 

[airgelaal]

To be honest, I don’t really see what they will do in the seniors next season

 

[Vagabond]

Lil Bro looks like Big Sis.

 

[victorskid]

We're half-way through the 4 groups and it's time for the ice to be resurfaced.
