Quadzilla

<span style="color:purple;font-family:georgia;font-size:x-small;">Because the cold from hell is trying it's best to do me in, I have been laying (lying?) on the couch like a large slug. The philistines I live with have a football game on.

But the announcers referred to one player as "Quadzilla" due to his enormous quads. And I thought, in my somewhat drugged state, that this would be an excellent nickname for a skater. But who? Tim is rather thin and tiny, and so doesn't really merit the title, Takeshi, of course, is Japanese, but again, isn't really that large or intimidating. My beloved Evgeni is rather on the thin side, too, so he's out. Kurt? Elvis?

Who would you pick?

Laura :) </span>

Hmmm, I'd say Takeshi just because at least he isn't anorxeicly thin like Tim and Evgeni. Maybe Alexei for the same reason.

Re: re:quadzilla

The biggest quad-landing skater is Ilia Kulik. Well, he's mostly tall and gangly. Guys in singles skating usually aren't very tall. That's the only part of skating I dislike. Short men are bitter, angry and evil. We need to ban them from the sport along with Cinquanta and the ISU<img src="http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/bigun2.gif"/>.

P.S., Short, for men, is defined as anybody shorter than Alexei Yagudin.

P.S., part II, I'm 6 feet tall.

Re: re:quadzilla

Yes, Fetal, I was just going to ask you how tall you are. :p So you're 6 feet tall? That would explain that theory of yours (you're just "jellus" ;) ). Short is defined as anyone shorter that Yagudin? Quite generous of you, since Yagudin <em>is</em> short.

If I had to give this nickname to someone I'd choose Yags, because of his power and consistency (just a few years ago he was called "the jumping machine"). My second choice would be Plush, although IMO his style is too subtle for it (Yags promises and delivers, Plush more takes you off guard). My third choice would be Kulik.

Goebel is too feeble, others don't have consistency, which is the crucial part IMO.

There is no ridiculous charge I can't answer with song lyrics.

Randy Newman
Short People

Short People


Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Re: quadzilla

"Ridiculous charge"? LOL. Sorry, I thought you had a sense of humor. My bad. But if I may, it seems like you take yourself a tad bit too seriously.

Btw, as for the song lyrics, well, short people don't have everything "little". ;)

The "Short People" song was amusing :p

To me, Tim is "the quad king", but I guess you're all right when you say he can't be Quadzilla because he's so thin and is average height for a guy. He's like 5'7 I think. ANYWAYS... really, I have no idea who we could call Quadzilla! :lol:

Re: lol

If you are talking about quad size rather than the landing of quads, I'll nominate Brian B. That man has amazing legs.
