Despite being labelled a homophobe by Dr. Caric, I found myself watching some extraordinary figure skating yesterday with my daughter.  Johnny Weir (that rhymes with “quare”) of the US won the men’s gold medal, but Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland was the most impressive of the men’s skaters in my view.  Also, women’s solo champion Yu-Na Kim of South Korea was extraordinary.If you’re into that sort of thing.  NTTAWWT.

Oh, come on. Dr. Caric would label a ham sandwich a homophobe, that’s no distinction!
Ham? An Islamophobe.
You are teh ghey. Ice dancing? Good Allah. Even the girls from Queer Guy think that is gay. Carson says it makes him even more queer.
All I’ve ever really wanted to do is dance, Dad.
That was the best TV commercial, ever!
I’m not a fan of the ice skating, but Dan here has reproduced and thus has an excuse to watch a young Korean chick in a skimpy costume flash her panties on the teevee without getting his chops busted. Sure, he has to sit through a bunch of swishy dudes, but tell me, who’s ahead of the curve here?
Advantage, Collins.

How can Weir rhyme with “QUARE”…? Quare is not even a word.. Ok maybe in Arabic or something.. but not in English.. How bout it rhymes with “Hair” or “Square” or “Dare” ?
No, it rhymes with “Quare.” Take my word on this.
As long as it doesn’t rhyme with ‘queer’ Dan; because God knows this sport is gay enough already.
Heh.
We hosted a female professional figure skater at our house when “Braveheart on Ice” was in town. When we ran out of walnuts for her to crack with her butt, we used her to open those stubborn pickle jars. Oh and squeezing the last few globs of paste out of the otherwise-dry tube of Crest. Waste not, want not.
Dammit, alpuccino. You owe me another monitor. That is 12, and counting.
Okay, I’ll buy you this last one, but I’m including the sneeze-guard this time.
Good lord, al, I just snorted cold medicine all over my desk! Yuk! (heh)
Gymnists are much like figure skaters. My daughter takes gymnastic lessons, and all of the instructors are 20-something hardbodies. My better half no longer asks me to take Kaitlin to gymnastics.
Can you imagine sitting around, having drinks with alpuccino? I am adding that, sans the drinks, to the list of things that I want to accomplish before I die. I have done a couple, and this one will take the place of going to a Duke vs. UNC game at Cameron, though I will still do that one.
Hey, I’ll come if we get happyfeet and BMoe to go too. Hilarity ensues!
That is what I am hoping for this summer when I host a get-together for everyone. Just finished the theatre and the basement, and have room for lots and lots of visitors. I envision very late nights, much story telling, and me laughing while the rest of you get loaded.
It ain’t figure skating if nobody got knee capped. I liked it when Tonya Harding made figure skating a blood sport, at least for a little while. She and Rudy Galindo bringing a little trailer trash to the sport was a nice thing to see.
That you guys can even discuss names of figure skaters is a bit disturbing. Anthing that does not have bats, balls, or objective scoring is really not a sport. Maybe if you added patches of melted ice, sand, and sudden obstacles. Nope. Still gay. But they do have cute butts, the girls.
JD – You ever see Nudes On Ice in Vegas? That was a sporting event!
Yes, that most certainly would be. Does High School Musical on Ice count, since Gabriella is showing skin these days?
JD – Not sure I wanna go there, but in Vegas you could drink and smoke while enjoying the performance. Added to the ambience back in the day.
I long for a place I can have a cigar or even a cigarette while enjoying the entertainment. You could walk around with leprosy and have limbs falling off easier than you could have a smoke indoors these days.
Figure skaters don’t really do it for me, as they’re often wearing so much make up that they remind me of drag queens, which makes little Andrew retreat like a small frightened squirrel.
Gymnasts, on the other hand…are fourteen years old. So it’s strictly a dirty kind of enjoyment, which I invariably feel bad about.
i love to Figure Skate, and this has been my favorite sport ever since i was a kid.’**
i love to see women that is doing some figure skating , they are really beautiful and gracefull.”‘;
