If I Could Turn Back Time...or 2010 Kings on Ice Backstage Pass

[blackfeline]

Premise 1
Lately I have developed an obsession with a strong interest in Brian Joubert. I blame the Gladiator, but that's another story.
Premise 2
Skaters doing mundane things fascinate me. I know, they're human, if you cut me, I don't bleed, etc. Can't help it.
Conclusion
And look what I've found while rummaging around the internets, hunting for Jewbear stuff:

Random bits:

• Stephane Lambiel, Evgeni Plushenko, Johhny Weir and Brian Joubert play football in the hallway and reverently avoid the smallest tackle.
• Johnny Weir soft-speaks fluent Russian.
• Stephane and Johnny do something fabulous together.
• Jewbear breaks out a very yagudinesque step sequence. No one is surprised.
• Ari the producer does Robert de Niro.
• Train travelling. By night. Eating cake.
• Lambiel gets the Oscar treatment. Whelmage ensues.
• Brian speaks English and gets over 200 points of unf by doing so. Despite the 16th place mention.
• Stephane chirps "Spasiba!" and the place erupts.
• They all...OMFG! eat like whoa. And wear black leather to breakfast. And mope.

I may remark in passing that I also found the best Joubert interview to date, the one with the open hotel door odissey,  bum-comparing moments and the Candeloro feud, but I don't know how to do subtitling. I laughed like a mofo.
