Happy Birthday to the one and only G.O.A.T.!!!

Google translated that...and, well...

I don't even remember talking to you because I was kind of busy watching him myself

I felt exactly the same, my first time. In fact, somewhere here on the Planet is my post of "He's here! He's real!" from ACI2018...

Honestly, he looks so good, but this is so not Yuzu's real self. Lotte's CM ideas always crack me up. Too late, we've been panicking for the last two hours now...

In my experience, Europe is profoundly more expensive than Canada on every possible front, but then again i have never visited Russia. As for Montreal, yes, it has tourist places, and some of them are amazing, but it really depends what you're looking for. Montreal is one of the oldest cities in Canada but by European standards it's a baby - only 375 years old. So it has interesting architecture and history, and then there's Mount Royal itself. It attracts a lot of Japanese visitors, but as far as I know, they tend to come for the shopping and the underground city (which I don't think are all that exciting). It's also a leading city in the arts world, a whole movement (les Automatistes) started here in the 60s. Come to Montreal if you're interested in the history of Canada and particularly the history of French Canada, if you like good food, and if you're interested in art and architecture, and in how a culture can change on a dime (as Quebec culture did in the 50's and 60's during the Quiet Revolution, moving away from the excessive influence of the Catholic Church to a secular lifestyle almost overnight), I would say. And parts of it do have a European feel, other parts are very modern, almost futuristic.

But you know what? I bet he packs his gloves himself now, and double-checks them, too.

That's why I paid more than my monthly mortgage payment for the all-event pass. If Nessie lands, l want to be there!

...as were we all...

PW is gloveless

Maybe that's his dream layout, too?

Yeah. The only thing missing from that sentence is the 'for once'. He's basically called all the other judges out with this.

He did say that in response to the question "after winning, how will you be feeling? ", so I would interpret that as the appropriate time to sing for him is once he wins. Which he will. Speaking it into existence.

WHAT AN IDEA! I love it! I can totally see it. But maybe a cooler, more visceral vampire than Dracula...Lestat? Or is Lestat too debauched for Yuzuru to portray? @Veveco Europe is such an inconvenient timezone from here *whine*. Yuzu's SP is at 3:10 PM on Thursday, right smack in the middle of my workday. I suppose I shall have to mysteriously 'disappear' from my desk for a bit so I can watch it in peace.

I have to agree about Otonal 2.0. That costume does not do it for me. It's the bulkiness of the fabric right at the front under his chin, that hides his beautiful neck, that is the problem.

I love Origin 2.0, but I'm not convinced yet that it captures the music as well as Origin 1.0. Also, Yuzu looked majestic and otherworldly in Origin 1.0, like a god descended to earth to reshape humanity a bit. Origin 2.0 just looks beautiful, with out the otherworldly part. It's a more human look.

Fanyu life: people are scouting out deals on Poohs in Torino shopping malls: Also, I voted on the ISU Awards but I'm scratching my head over how they chose the nominees. It seems like it's just an alphabetized list of everyone who won something in the GP series this season (well, except for "Best Costume", which is just, like, random? ) . It doesn't look like there were any selection criteria applied, nor any thought given to having the awards become a meaningful celebration of excellence or anything. I feel even more like this is whole awards thing is just some whimsical ego trip for the originator of the idea, and the ISU is going along with it because somebody told them they need more 'audience engagement', and they're not quite sure what that is, but they know it means polls, lots of clicky-clicky polls. Also, don't shoot me, but while I voted for Yuzu as Most Valuable Skater (because he is), and Origin 2.0 as best costume (because Dead Black Swan on Short Bearded Man aka Baker & Hawayek's Ex was not an option), I simply had to vote for Piper & Paul with "Both Sides Now" for best program , because figure skating needs a whole lot more of what they do, and a whole lot less of what about 80% of the other nominees do. It hurt me more than I care to admit to not vote for Gabby & Guillaume, though.

Same! Looks like it's only on the voting page. I can access other pages.

Thank you!!! Compare this to other On Ice Perspectives videos, and you can see that Yuzu skates so effortlessly. It's incredible. Off to vote if I can

Why does it say 'video provided : TV Asahi'? Why isn't Jordan getting credited? Also, it's geoblocked for me.

Is that a chip tray in his hand? Like he was eating when someone told him to pose. Edit: nvm, I read the caption later. "Before I saw the pie plate I thought he was calling Yuzu his chicken pot pie and I didn't question it. " - LOL!! I have to admit, I totally forgot about Challenge 2020...

I see what you did there

Lucky you! I get a mini frosted cupcake, peanuts, and coconut flakes!! Is this a cocoa or a birthday cake?

We know they're going to ruin the Worlds gala exhibition with these stupid awards by putting a stage, chairs, and red carpet on the ice.

Could you imagine the Twitstorm if that happened now?
