If I remember correctly/If I recall correctly

Ok, because I googled IIRC as International Integrated Reporting Council and asked myself, if Belinda is so versatile all-round person

 

[skatedreamer]

probably a lot of competition for this one...
Nevertheless, inspired by @balabam, I'm nominating myself for most sleep-deprived fan.

to Haein Lee and Kana/Dai, the "You Can Skate to POTO Anytime You Want" award.

I'm so tired of POTO and don't much like Andrew Lloyd Webber in general but absolutely have to make an exception for Haein, Kana, & Dai. Loved both programs!

can I have an honorable mention in this category?

rationale: In honor of Mark's Scottish accent, I did consume several glasses of my best single malt during his commentary. The Scotch also helped to drown out Belinda when she started yakking too much...

Of course, you have very honorable mention!

But you should offer a shot of your Scotch also to Mark as a cure for his vocal cords.

Hmmmmm, But maybe Belinda is a witch. SHE started yakking and HE lost vocal cords

How long did you think about this award?

less long than it took you to question me about it

 

[balabam]

[Diana Delafield]

Can you ask the Tech Committee how much deduction the cat would get for a quadruplefooted quintuple?

I'm sorry, I'll get back on topic, I promise... But I just had to say it

We used to have a cat who, as an adolescent kitten, loved to throw herself into the air to jump as high as she could, over and over. Once I was waving her "whippy snake" toy over her head and she was leaping and twisting to try to catch the end of the ribbon. My husband (a non-skater) said, "Wow, I don't know what jump she's practising, but that was definitely a quad, wasn't it?!" That was twenty years ago, but maybe Sylvia was the first to accomplish a quintuple, albeit four-pawing the landing.

'Scuse the OT. Had to chime in.

 

[Diana Delafield]

Are you familiar with Maru, a very … er…talented cat who happens to live in Japan?

So as not to derail this thread, I’ll post a link in “Animal Fun.” Maru LOVES boxes and has a few unusual jumping techniques for getting into them.

Yes! Big fan of Maru.

sheesh, that reminds me...

VPN "Informant" of the Year: @TontoK for posting the Proton link. Saved my life for these WCs, that did!

(BTW, I did break down and watch the NBC clip of Jason... just to hear Tara say that she couldn't talk because it was so beautiful. )

 

[Diana Delafield]

The male pairs skaters at Four Continents, for exhausting themselves keeping their partners safe in the air while skating at that killer altitude.

Keegan Messing for the baby pictures in the K and C. And for the buffalo-check shirt.

Any dancers or pair who can take a fall and not turn it into a Fusar-Poli Moment.

 

[DancingCactus]

I mean Keegan's shirt must have seen a lot by now....
