Olympics - Men's Figure Skating=Little Orphan Awesomes!

Because he's curious like a cat?

in an interview following the medal ceremony, plushenko stated "if the moon was made of barbeque spare ribs, he would in fact eat it then".

What an odd thing to say.

This is all the figure skating I need.

These men are athletes and should be treated with the same kind of respect and dignity as we show NFL, NBA players....

Psssst. I'm sorry. I couldn't keep a straight face while typing that.

To be fair, if you can get past the outfits that's got to be damn hard to do. I think you could make an argument that they're a pound-for-pound better athlete than some overweight offensive lineman.

You get my nomination for POST OF THE DAY!

Good lord I had forgotten about this. I miss Farley.

Not disagreeing with you, but I CAN'T get past the outfits (and the somewhat odd behavior).

Oh, I agree, it is far from my favorite event to watch. I almost wish they treated men's figure skating more like men's gymnastics and just focused on the technical aspect.

Somewhat odd behavior?

To put a bit more attraction in the sport, men's curling is adopting the same type of outfits next Winter Olympics.
