Ugh Josh and his perfect hair again. He really does look like a member of some popular boy band. When he grows his hair long he bears a striking resemblance to a young Tom Cruise.

Hey! If Max is a shrimp what does that make Shoma? Besides adorable
Adorable krill.

I believe he's quoted around 5'7". Same height as Jason, give or take.
I think the combination of his shorter legs in proportion to his torso and his muscular frame makes him look smaller. He's an adorable shrimp, though.
*karne adds "In 'n' Out" to list of restaurants to try when in US*
Shoma as adorable krill is funny, but I'm glad to see you've graduated to Interspectator!
Slightly OT but talking of Josh looking like a boy band member reminds me of one of Doug Mattis' best Tweets from Worlds this year. I believe it went "Brendan Kerry has come straight to Shanghai from the breakup of One Direction"...

Karne, very OT, but if you are not going west of the Mississippi, no In n Outs for you. They are a strictly West Coast burger joint; but I could be wrong, since as a vegetarian I wouldn't know from personal experience. 
Great photo of Josh chowing down, however....

Isn't Josh at Bingo Burger? It's a Colorado Springs burger joint that claims their meat is organic and they don't buy it in mass or processed like fast food chains. Could be wrong though about that.

Actually I was in tennis shoes and he hugged me several times. My son is 5'7" and I don't think Jason is much taller than that. (not that it matters - he skates tall!) Wiki says he's 5'7" but it appears Wiki isn't necessarily a valid resource. Who knows - maybe he grew since 2014 Nats!
Oh okay, we're on the same page then. When you said 5'3" + a couple of inches I thought you meant he was 5'5"!
To me it does look like he's grown and matured a bit since 2014 Nats. I also think, though, that his costumes this year make him look taller and more long legged, especially the SP one.

AFAIK, el henry is correct that In 'N' Out is a regional thing only in the West. None in Boston, I think.
But if you are making a grand tour of the U.S. and find yourself anywhere near one, it has good burgers, fries, shakes. (No shake for Josh
.)Thx, Sam-S. What happened is that musicfan randomly mentioned In 'N' Out burgers in the context of something about Josh, which reminded me on a general level of the Josh burger photo -- which I wasn't suggesting was actually at an In 'N' Out location. (Although it so happens that I am a fan of In 'N' Out.)
So now karne and the rest of us all must take a field trip to Colorado Springs to sample Bingo Burger
. We can invite Josh and Joe to join us.Eye of the beholder, but I hope that handsome Josh will never bear any resemblance to Mr. Cruise
.I wonder whether our GS member Aestheticprawn is reading this thread
.
Burgers to try in Boston (or rather Burgers I've tried and liked):
U Burger
Tasty Burger
Shake Shack
Also the Tasty Burger near Fenway Park opens late (and has wine and beer!!), great for those looking for a place after the night sessions!

I think I have seen more than one Tweet of Alex Shibutani digging into a Shake Shack meal at airports. So now Karne has your recommendation and the Shibs!

Add me to the list of Shake Shack fans.
karne, in case you are wondering: just want to make clear that you don't have to go to an airport to enjoy Shake Shack.
Most of the Shake Shack locations have nothing to do with airports. The airport locations are exceptions rather than the rule. Lucky Alex to find himself at one.

Heh, I'll be transferring through enough airports that I'll probably be able to write a comprehensive guide...

WHOA! I come back a day later and all these posts because I asked what Josh could eat at a In 'N Out Burger because @mrrice said he was thin? I still don't think Josh could be that long legged and be that short.
My $.02 to @karne if you are planning a burger tour of the United States - if you are on the East Coast, you should try Five Guys and BGR The Burger Joint in the DC area.
I also like Josh's hair - but I'm not sure if it's better when it's longer or shorter on top. The problem with having longer hair on top for a guy is it's harder to keep a style in place when skater unless you use a lot of hair product. I guess if you have thick or coarse hair it would be easier.
---------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck to Tim and Adam this weekend! I hope they have strong skates! The SP for Skate Canada is out - it is a little strange to see Tim Dolensky in the same group as Patrick Chan. Is this Keegan Messing first international competition representing Canada?

More and more interesting! Stay out of the Skate Canada discussions because, dare I say it, I really can't get that worked up over Yuzu or Patrick. Sorry that Adam fell because he does bring it in this LP, even if I think it's too chopped up, but mostly...
Tim Dolensky
with a slay count, even and 3rd in FS TES SB. Woot!

Could not agree with you more! I think both Yuzu and Patrick are amazing skaters but I don't understand the animosity between some of the fans on each "side." Like with Mao and Liza, it's one thing to say why you prefer one over the other, but some fans actively try to "convert" fans of the other, and things get so heated.
Sorry back on topic--only a few years ago U.S. men's was, sadly, a bit of a snoozefest. But things are really getting exciting! I really can't wait for Nationals!
