Yuzu, Oda, Javi, Misha and Jason, doing the "Nobody" dance?

There was no coming back after Koi Dance. Period. On the other hand, we haven't suggested AKB48 yet, so not all hope is lost?

I'd rather he do the "Nobody" dance from the Wonder Girls. Much as I don't want to hear more Moulin Rouge, I'm up for Yuzu skating to "Someday I'll fly away"- the music is right up his alley.

Okay, now that does make my eyes bleed.

Oh dear, the feral swans. I told Hydroblade about them during a Schindler's List Free Skate. It felt bad to be so giggly during a Schindler's list but we couldn't help ourselves. Since the swans went backstage, I wonder if he noticed those feral swans.

I want to see him try Bohemian Rhapsody. Maybe an all electric blue version of the LGC costume?

I don't know, maybe Yuzu heard news of the ISU rules changes and decides he wants to go and break them, again. Granted, his Idol Plushenko-sama participated in 3, so maybe he thinks he also needs to participate in 3?

We were all just waving, and when he started bowing we all bowed. I recall we all gathered afterwards and realized no one managed to snatch a photo.

It will either be out of the world good, or give you food poisoning. Like his jumps.

Caption: Brian: So how was that carton of Oasis? Yuzu: It was grapefruit. Sour. Brian: That sour? Yuzu: I forgot they don't add any additional sugar.

Oh Brian...my coach did your strategy too. She made me use the lutz jump to get my loop jump better and more stable, and by the end of it I had a more stable lutz jump than loop jump. Unintended consequences? So how is that lutz stability now for our overlord, hmm?

Sometimes it really does feel like that, but I think Mai and Wakaba went up against harder competitors. Ugh, anyways, I think they'll make Yuzu skate the SP since he's got too many WR with Chopin. If he goes clean again at Rostelcom with a Loop layout, he's probably going to break his WR again, right?

Ladies will be brutal...I wonder if they would send 2 separate ladies to Olys and 2 different ones to worlds? Is that even an option? That way at least 4 ladies get a chance to shine next year.

I actually find that trend in US men's skating slightly disturbing. If you think about it, the US men's skaters who had done well, such as Paul Wylie, Todd Eldridge had an interesting combination of technique and artistry. However ever since US men tried to go toe-to-toe with Yagudin and Plushenko, I think the technical has been over-emphasized, so men with good artistry tend to be undervalued (ie Weir, Brown, etc). It's an odd trend, especially if you consider that Yuzuru, Patrick and Daisuke were leading the field up to Sochi, and now it's Yuzuru, Javi and Shoma leading the field.

Nah, I think said other Forum does recognize the difference between Jason and Max's skating. But Ambesi here doesn't say anything about Adam Rippon or Josh Farris. He's also very pro Patrick, so I think the other forum will also like him. =) But I strongly agree with Max regarding the judging corridor syndrome that is going on for PCS. Judges really need to look at the feet, which they're kind of ignoring. If they actually fixed that issue, we'd see a bigger score difference between the more artistic skaters and athletic skaters (Jason vs Nathan), and some of the artistic guys could overtake the athletic guys, which could give us interesting results. The bigger question I have though, is why does the score have to be around 50% atheletic and 50% artistic? No, seriously. We know PCS is judged on a 100 point system, is it not enough to say guy X got 98/100 points so he's artistic too? Why do we have to judge artistic or not based on how much of guy X's total score came from PCS?

We all LOSE against cute children. Yep, not starting this ship again...

1) Yuzu I think could potentially mess up instant ramen....I can imagine that. Maybe we can start small, like teaching him how to boil eggs. If he's determined, I'm sure he can master cooking fast-then again I do know guys who are great at a specific field well into their 40's and 50's, live alone and still cannot cook. 2) I love Chopin 3.0 too. Chopin is my favorite short program of his, and to see it live was such a blessing, and a WR breaker version at that! I think he was breathing fast due to nerves perhaps? After all, he hadn't practiced for a week...

*sigh* maybe next meetup I will pack skates for your sake.

Wonder if she would compete? But yes, that would help us figure out the hanyu ubers are amongst the ladies field now...there's got to be a couple. He gave a pooh to Alina, and Alina can compete against Zhenya....dun dun dun.... A cooking contest then? XD Wait, cook on ice in skates. Wait I have an idea. A contest in parts, one part involving skating, and one part involving cooking. I guess maybe a 3rd part involving packing his stuff to make sure she doesn't pack 2 right-hand gloves.

Nah, the first 2 kanji on the top of the board is "marriage." I wonder what would happen if one day, Yuzu decides to R***** and say to the world "I think I can finally date and marry and settle down." For some reason I have a mental image of a bunch of people all running and flocking to him kind of like bride-to-be's all running into a mall and grabbing wedding dresses...or old ladies at supermarkets all trying to grab the on-sale items. Or maybe he can have a skate off! Like all the potential partners need to strap on a pair of skates and go to the rink, may the last girl standing win his hand? - hmm, popcorn time in that case.

...Why am I not surprised that he won?

For ACI, chopin was a 5, seimei was a "screaming for help/wtf" 2.

this is AMAZING!

Max for president please. At least as a consultant for the ISU when it comes to judges training and scoring systems. Skating Gods make it happen please!

We need to develop a pancake meter for his overlord's extraness. Like super fluffy pancake with honey syrup if he breaks more WR....or even a pancake moodboard for him and his meme-ness...
