the eugene bean

"Look, I got 8 ounces of bronze on a tacky ribbon, and all I had to do was emasculate myself in front of the world."

If they ever add gynastics to this event in some way (because 7-year old girls everywhere have grown bored with the mixture of only ice skating and ballroom dancing), the guys will have to start wearing tighter pants in a last ditch effort to slow the loss of their dignity.

I'm anonymous, but not any more.

I didn't want to take credit for that first post until I was sure no guys in mauve and teal tunics were coming to grab my armpit and inner thigh, hoist me over their heads, and spin me around.

I'm scared of the big Eastern European chicks, too.

Not only is it horrific to watch, they feel it is neccessary to TORTURE us all with THREE nights..... THREE... that means AGAIN tonight..... THREE NIGHTS..... I might just be forced gouge my eyes out with a tacky plastic neon colored flower.... THREE NIGHTS!!! Could we possibly see something more violent? What about where they ride their bikes down the hill of snow with spikey tires? Could they make that an olympic event just to sort of balance it out a bit? maybe?

THREE NIGHTS!!!!!!!!

HA! The boredom has been relieved for me this year by watching them fall on their asses. Very funny stuff, the likes of which you don't see too often in ice dancing, at the OLYMPICS for crying out loud.

Hee...that Lithuanian girl bounced pretty good too!

I like your bike idea. That 'sport' might be worth my I'm-sitting-on-my-ass-watching-TV time.

Did you see the girl tonight who must have said to her costume maker, "I'm skating in the Olympics. Could you make me look like a Vegas Stripper? Don't forget the tassels!"

Oh no no...the tassels were nothing compared to the freakin HEADBAND!!! Hello??? Who dresses you???? Ugh...at least it was white and didnt HURT MY EYES WITH INSANE COLORS!!

I did sort of almost like the america chick in her flamenco getup!

ROFLMAO.....at ALL of the above and also because this past week-end I watched "The Cutting Edge" again on DVD and laughed so hard I cried at the scene where they're measuring Dooooglus (weird spelling for added effect and accurate character pronunciation) for his costume and moved the sash away from his nether regions cause they didn't want to "hide the package"
