Now that we've all got THAT out of our system... ;^D

[dangus]

Bwahaha! WRONG HAND!

When figure skaters pick on you for being faggy... you've got problems!

How I wish.

"First time I have ever rooted against an American in the Olympics"

Same here. Or so I thought. Then I remembered cheering against the American basketball team at the last Summer Olympics

In all fairness to him, if he was born in 1986 he'd be too young to remember the Soviet Union (scary thought) and I doubt his teachers ever explained to him he evil of it.

I was born in 1986, and my teachers never explained the USSR - and certainly the word 'Gulag' was never mentioned.

"Making a big deal about it just plays his game."

Yeah, but it's a game we are the masters of.

And then I gouged out my own eyes...and ate them.

WHAT in the name of all that is holy is THAT????

It's pretty common for athletes to wear warmups from other countries, although not during the event. When I was involved with international fencing the Eastern Europeans used to bring extra team warmups, equipment and caviar to sell for dollars. It was a perk for them and the coaches were in on it too. It was common for them to have bags of swag to sell and then they would just say the items were lost or stolen. I've got two communist era Poland warmups and one Bulgaria. In international sports athletes trade or give these as gifts or sometimes sell.

It's pretty sad when a GUY has DSL.

They had a quote in the local rag where the little punk says he hates it when "people call me a jock. I'm not a jock. I wear sequins and silk and I'm an Artiste."

I kid you not, that's what he said according to the Orlando Slantinel.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Haha, the little ingrate Johnny Weird choked.

[God luvs America]

he just screwed up his long program and is sitting in fourth place with three skaters left....

[gopwinsin04]

I'm glad, what a twerp.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Figure skating? Feh!



Now here's a REAL sport!

Actually NBC's website shows him in 5th, the worst finish of the Americans (currently LYSACEK, Evan in 2nd and SAVOIE, Matt in 4th) with 3 to go.

He also said something about how he scares them too. The little b!tch.

[gopwinsin04]

Holding on for the bronze?

I saw that interview too. Along with Susan Serandon(sp?) and Yoko Ono on the opening night the whole thing is ruined for me.
