anyone else find her kind of funny?

Yes!

We settled into seats at the Regal Bel Air 14, the place where the Meissners usually watch Hollywood's latest offerings, with $45 worth of drinks, popcorn and strawberry Twizzlers.

"This is how the Meissners roll," said the champ, sinking into her seat.

"Oh, man, that's what comes after (a figure skating career)," she said, perhaps envisioning the post-competition day she would don a frog suit.

Could a skate actually sever a head?

"No, I don't think it's possible," she said, pausing to consider the possibility. "I mean, you could hurt someone pretty bad. You could make them bleed to death, but I don't think you could actually go all the way through."

But the 2005 movie, Ice Princess, with a cameo appearance by Kwan, isn't one Meissner will put on her "best" list with her favorite movie, Dumb and Dumber.

"Don't even get me started on it. In a day, she discovered the formula to the triple axel. She needs to tell me that formula," said Meissner…

Well, it’s no Dumb and Dumber, that’s for sure!
