No season of FS is complete without:
Me reminding you that, no matter how much you ooh and aah over the current crop, none of these men can compare with John Curry.
Someone else chiming in to say they're not as good as Toller Cranston either. (Which is also true).
And, finally, me reminding you that the elimination of school figures means that this will forever be the case.
I hadn't done that this season... so that's off my to-do list.

Many posts from people who want to start figure skating at an "advanced" age (however that is defined).
Realistic posters telling them that they can certainly skate and enjoy it, but will not become world-class or land a quad.
Other posters telling the realistic posters that they are mean old grinches, crushing the dreams and sucking the life out of would-be skaters, and the best (only) way to motivate people is to say that if they just work hard enough and dream big enough and use a little pixie dust, they'll be able to land a quad and go to the Olympics.

Can you ask Elaine to pass her doctor's number to Adam Rippon.. Adam has had the same condition of late, and it's only expected to get worse.

I will from this point onward describe myself as an advanced aged skater who crushes dreams.
But none of us want to crush anyone's dreams, we just want to encourage realistic goals. Those dreams are just as valuable and just as special. As for the topic
An elaborate post defending and arguing against tano's.

1. Ear-destroying music choices and the endless piles of complaints about them.
2. That one warhorse that gets beaten to death above all others and the endless piles of complaints about it.
3. Someone having a superb showing at an early-season competition and being pegged to win everything, only to start headcasing tragically a month later.
4. Suggestions from fans that at least different twelve skaters should switch coaches to train with Brian Orser.
5. A new world record, and <58,000 people being mad about it.
6. Invisiblespiral's amusing fictionalized takes on strange happenings in the skating world.
7. Someone besides Anna having a season-long bout of CPS (Chronic Pogo-Splatting).
8. A former headcase suddenly becoming consistent and awesome and winning everything.
9. Random withdrawals that lead to fifteen pages of speculation about why the skater pulled out.
10. Weird posts in the Dreams thread in Le Cafe.
11. That one event that LITERALLY EVERYONE WITHDRAWS FROM.
12. Amusing posts from sleep-deprived fans who are pulling all-nighters to watch skating and are so tired they're barely coherent.
13. Mutual crying over pairs/dance team splits.
14. Quad innovation on a previously-unprecedented scale, blowing everyone's minds (and, in the case of the actual skaters, knees).
15. Scary injuries.
16. Someone comparing one of Yuzuru Hanyu's costumes to a vegetable.
17. Getting attached to 11-year-old Russian novices, despite our better judgement.
And I'm sure there are more...
