Figure Skating is a Sham

How can someone who falls get the silver medal? Why aren't more people amused that Russian powerhouse Slutskaya looks like a man? And am I the only one who thinks it is funny that her name starts with "slut"?

I'm still in NY. I went to Whiskey Blue again tonight, this time with the Dirty DL. He was into the short skirts. The scene at the Whiskey is very Scottsdale, in fact, so it wasn't new to me. I was more into going to PJ Clarks, which I've heard is the oldest bar in Manhattan.

The Dirty DL and I were talking about commitment, and how he thinks it's unnatural. I think it is something we have to do. Commitment is a symbol of how much you care for someone, and it is something that should be honored. I also have a different perspective than he does. I have been away from my wife for a few days; he hasn't seen his girlfriend in a few months. Plus, he's been around enough to earn the nickname Dirty (though he's not nearly as dirty as my former roommate, The Model, who is going on the 150s, conservatively).

Back to figure skating, another think that bothers me is that flips are illegal in the Olympics, though skaters can perform them in global or country championships. Why is that? Other than adding another rotation, flips are the newest and most athletic move in figure skating. Anyway, who really cares? I'd rather be watching the X Games anyway.
