I liked that program a lot because Evan's arms always seemed birdlike to me. So this suited him perfectly. If you are going to spaz, might as well be a bird.
Totally loving your commentary. I still am dismayed that such an unfortunate pedestrian skater (I *do* so like that tag!) was our OG, but he did stand up those two nights.
I was always intrigued and amused by the turkey frills on Evan's shoulders. Did the Firebird get roasted for dinner after the program was over?
Choosing between Lysacek and PLushenko for Olympic Champion was like deciding whether you'd like to be oppressed by Hitler or Stalin.<<< So true. Had Plushy won, it would have been just as awful.
It's true if Plushenko had won he would have retired to Russia forever never be seen on American TV screens again!!! So it would have been total WIN!!!
When I saw 'windmill' in the title, at first I thought: Plushenko. Then I saw the vid. I quite forgot that Evgeni never dressed up as poultry...
ReplyDeleteLysacek = windmill
Plushy = windmill+quad
Plushy = windmill+quad-transitions..
ReplyDeleteLysacek got the gold. He didn't need the quad. Get over it.
Oh yes, the burnt chicken program. Now, excuse me while I try and make myself forget that unfortunate moment of Olympic history.

ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just the length of his legs making it awkward, but his change-of-foot in spins is so ugly.
ReplyDeleteI could not watch it through. Too boring,and it´s still awkward.

Evan was a great competitor, but it still grates that he is the OGM. UGH.
ReplyDeleteThat costume was laughable, the program workmanlike, and the overall effect uninspiring and fake.
Has Evan ever had an original thought?
"If you are going to spaz, might as well be a bird."
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome.
Amazing!! Bravo, Evan!!!
ReplyDeletenothing will ever change the fact that lysacek won olympic gold - not all the hate and venom in the world

ReplyDeleteNo cause out of sight, out of mind.
At least Plushy has jumps and is a showman.

ReplyDeleteChill out! Let's do the chicken dance! Evan's good at it! Look like he flails his arms!
