a silly tidbit

[brightcupenny]

While we were in the dressing room just prior to competing, Mallory was walking around, giving us all skate tape. As I finished winding the tape around my boot, ensuring that my laces wouldn't come untied during our performance, a thought came unbidden to my mind:

"My skates are pastede on yay!"

I blame it on lack of sleep.

Prior to discovering the technique of winding tape around the boot, skaters were trained to point at floppy loose laces and cry, and to take out contracts on competitors whose laces were not floppy loose.

Me, I miss those days.
