MK gushing quota per thread
I am starting this thread for fun, so please do not take me too seriously.
I must apologize to Mathman, about choice #2. Mathman does not gush about Michelle; everything he said about Michelle is thoughtful, appropriately sincere and true.
I definitely learn a lot from reading his view of Michelle's skating. Take the following example. Mathman said, "To me, a Lori Nichol/Michelle Kwan program (Go back, Michelle!) Is like a mature Haydn quartet (yes, I finished reading my Haydn book ) That is, each motif is introduced like a promise, then developed to its internal climax. Yet instead of merely fulfilling the promise, there is a seamless segue into an even greater theme." WOW, Mathman, how articulately put.
In addition, I am inspired, now I have to spend $ to buy that Haydn book and cds of Haydn quartets. That will be such a nice treat. Thanks Mathman.
Joe said ,"all that saccharin does get to me after a while"
Well Joe, since I do not use saccharin or any artificial sweeteners, for me even using it once will get to me. Saccharin had been around since the late 1890s, some Johns Hopkins guy discovered that in a chemistry lab !!!!. Surely, you are not comparing the sincere enthusiasm from Kwan fans to artificial sweeteners are you.
It is interesting to see the sampling and poll so far, 3 out of 17 votes, i.e. 18 % for us to check with the gush meter, so I wonder if I may run some samples by the meter and see whether the samples will be accepted or spit out. Thanks.
(Again, don't take this seriously)
I love natural sweeteners, so let's try a few in the sweet theme.
What if I say?
1. AP's skating is so engaging, and brilliant that watching her skate is like enjoying a homemade don nut top with light powder SUGAR. BTW, she has a gorgeous don nut spin.
2. When I watch Cohen skates across the ice, I long for molasses.
3. Michelle's TRV is molded together by themes, moods, artistic gestures and preoccupations in a manner that few skaters, (or maybe no other contemporary skaters of her generation) ever achieved, just like a Mahler symphony.
So which one(s) of the above will the meter accept or reject?
