I'd want to (A) know for certain what the varnish is, down to the proper chemical names, and (B) make sure product safety scientists have verified the varnish is safe for internal use.

Ahem.

This crazy is talking gold! He thinks Yulia should have placed first, based on his other comments. Like, come on bro. She fell twice. Time to drop that torch.

We were watching ARD Olympic coverage on Sky Germany - you might be able to get some sort of a feed since it's a public broadcaster. Katarina Witt was great - she went into detail about why she thought the judging had been off, etc, and she hit herself on the leg so hard in anger that she had to take deep breaths.…

Wait... falling three times should get you a silver medal?! Now come the fuck on. I felt bad for Yulia but that's nuts and to me disqualifies you from my consideration.

Are you in Germany, or is there a feed I should have been hacking? That sounds so much better than the American announcers, who just say, "how beautiful" in reverent tones six times per program.

I'd love to see your breakdown.

We were watching on German television, and they had Katarina Witt as their moderator. She was so upset at Yuna Kim's silver that she was practically sputtering in anger. And while she was very clear in giving Sotnikova all deserved props, she also stated that in her opinion, Kim had been robbed of the gold.

I don't understand enough about the technical elements of skating or the new judging system to properly opine. My biggest complaint is that watching the Olympic evening coverage provides me with absolutely zero assistance in understanding it better. The commentary couldn't be worse if the commentators were blind and…

I was a competitive figure skater for fifteen years. I competed under the new International Judging System fairly extensively. I cannot, for the life of me, tell you why Kim Yu-Na was not at the top of the podium. There is literally no reason. Sotnikova did not become a better skater overnight, and every justification…

This is how you know there was a fix.

How does figure skating keep fucking up over and over and over? When one of your "anonymous" judges is a guy who previously got caught ranking everyone before they even skated, how can you even take yourself seriously?

Considering Brooke Mueller has been in rehab like roughly every other month of those twins' lives, I don't really see any harm in testing if they have foetal alcohol syndrome. I genuinely think Charlie is an addict and scumbag, but seriously, those kids should be tested for basically any and all alcohol and drug…

She's a sociopath. Pure, unadulterated self-interest is incompatible with feminism.

It is feminism that allows female characters like Claire, Cersei Lannister, Skyler White, etc. - female characters who are written in opposition to men, but with motivations and personalities outside of their relation to those men - but I don't see a need to discuss to death whether each new Important Female Character…

I don't know if this counts but coconut oil is the single most versatile, amazing product I've ever used. I use it on my lips, face, hands, and hair. I make homemade face scrubs with it, slather my cuticles in it when they get dry, you name it, I have probably put coconut oil on it.

i'm not old & "streetcar" was the 1st thing I thought while watching it.it's a good movie but her character was such a ripoff of blanche dubois it's not even funny

i'm pretty sure most people familiar thought Blue Jasmine was a ripoff of streetcar.. i'm 23, not a huge movie buff and i thought that...

I'm one of the few who really didn't like Blue Jasmine. I thought Blanchett did a great job of embodying a very particular type of Upper East Side woman, down to simple vocal choices and brilliant mannerisms, BUT the movie itself made me feel nothing. Zilch. Within the first 20 minutes I knew all the characters were…

If you get the chance, you should definitely see it. It's very emotional and some parts are hard to watch but it's a beautiful film all the way through and a very important story.
