Penis lacerations - the sequel

Feb 11, 2010 23:08

Among the topics discussed in my super intellectual historiography seminar... penis lacerations! The guys were indeed a bit disturbed by it, but the class consensus was that since blood actually does make good fertilizer, Yucatán Mayas might have been on to something when they decided to cut their penises and bleed all over the crop land (and they ( Read more... )

Yeah, that was him (and I can't seem to find it on youtube. Very vexing). He also did an exhibition routine to "baby one more time", as performed by some dude, while dressed up as a baby. He had pigtails. I did find that one, but it was just to scarring.

I always love watching him skate. His cockyness translates into his skating style, and for some reason, I love that.

He's an oddball for sure, but I love him.

I adored him during the last quad, when he was, like, actually competing. I think his skating is absolutely magnetic. And he comes across like a really nice, if brutally honest, person during interviews. I just can't stand how overscored he is in terms of artistry compared to some other skaters. And how he doesn't even bother with real choreography anymore (same complaint about, say, Brian Joubert or the insufferable Carolina Kostner. They just don't have the consistency and amazing jumps to back them up). Like, dear Zhenya, pelvic thrusts and finger pointing is not artistic interpretation. The former isn't his fault, the latter totally is, argh XD /rant

I'm actually really fond of his ex programs. I'd just forgotten how bizarre they were compared to what everyone else was doing XD
