I am going to say that our Archives are a gem. A gem. 

When you go back and take a look at say Oly Men's Short thread? It is A++++ comedy gold. We were sort of chill until the last two groups and then satellites lost it. I think by the time we had This is Sparta post I was wheezing. Seriously, fantastic pick me up if you need one.  

 

Though new satellites might be a tad ahem, speechless at that mayhem. We really don't bite though. Really. We drink. And yell this is Sparta. And we are totally sane - ish 

 

Hey, never mind the actual skating thread... I went back and read the pages and pages and pages and pages waiting for then celebrating Yuzuru arriving at the airport...

 

Given that and the Japanese media, that's why, when that latest picture (the paparazzi one, sorry) popped up this week I immediately assumed the story was "Headline: Yuzuru walks through a door!"

When he walked in with the bodyguards? That was so cool, the Emperor had arrived and was greeted appropriately

Here's the clip: 

 

 

Hey, I said I wasn't sure! I didn't think someone would quote me! 

 

Anyway, you all heard it too.

this is erasure of that one time we all sat through two hours of mezamashi tv in the morning for a yuzu segment only to be trolled completely

WeChat wasn't in my vocabulary. Of course I hear it now and remember everyone talking about it at the time.

Oh it was totally badass - that small, slender almost delicate, utterly composed figure surrounded by all those intense, menacing guards and fussing officials and still completely the focus of every eye in the place (and everywhere else looking on...)

The best part of that was the comments Javi gave to a TV crew as he watched the whole thing unfold, having gotten off the same flight as Yuzu. It was the understatement of the century when he said that wasn't sure Yuzu was expecting anything like the security escort he got.

That was something...

1. Tracking what flight was arriving from Canada that day and consequently thinking maybe he didn't take that flight or was arriving in a different airport and along the flight was just delayed.

2. Thinking he already arrived only to find out the pictures were from Sochi and the JPN fans were just doing image training.

3. That first glimpse of him arriving (blurry picture and all) with bodyguards.

4. The happiness when we finally got HD pictures + some video news clips and then proceeding to make fun of his sleeves.

5. Javi and Tracy walking out of the arrival gate quietly VS the media attention Yuzu was handling.

 Re number 4, that gave me the biggest laugh - "he's here! he's healthy! he's wonderful! he's a prince! he's a champion!   .... and he's gone and stuffed up getting dressed by himself again!!!!"

Remember when we considered maybe he chartered a private plane?

Shoma just had his media day this weekend, so maybe most of the JP media were scheduled to attend that, not to mention the media outlets are just now releasing their news articles and TV segments on it today. 

 

So that's one reason I guess not to be having Yuzu's this week, and cause an overlap. So maybe next week or later in August it will be.
