So when I start my career as a figure skating judge some shit's gonna change. If you fall down just pick yourself up and skate off of the ice. No medal for you. No need to finish your routine, doesn't matter anymore. If only one person/team completes their routine without falling then they win all of the medals. Yep that's right. Gold, silver and bronze they are all yours. You've earned them. Might seem lonely on the podium but dammit you deserve it! Also, everyone starts with a perfect score. Bonus points are awarded for wardrobe malfunctions.

Wow, I'd just hang my head in shame and stumble off the ice...

Well you have to figure out a way to speed things up, so they can show more exciting events like curling (kinda liked it) or the norwegian biathlon, have we ever won a gold in those events ? I think I liked the old coverage better, it's kinda like being in a restaurant that has such a big menu you can decide what to order (or watch). Before you just got the facts man, if you missed it oh well. Life was much simpler then and my cable bill was still in the low/mid double digits!!

Traveling to our first Lockn from the west coast 2400mi already getting pretty amped. Really stoked on lineup 2xs JRAD + 2xs D and C = worth the trip, seems like a once in a lifetime setup.

There are medalists who fell during their routine beating out others who didn't fall. That will not happen once I am in charge.

So while I respect figure skaters, half pipers, etc as hard working and very talented people, I don't watch any events where a panel of judges score them. I just watch events where people cross the finish line first (speed skating) or do something in the best time (giant slalom) or score the most points (hockey); and truth be told, I like an element of danger in my sports.

the fact that they score in 100ths and even 10ths of a point shows how absurd it is.

Pro tip to our new friend--don't feed the animals, or the egos of the self-anointed.

I stopped doing the "don't feed the animals" on here because each new member now gets their own personalized welcome message that goes like this...

Cool! I think that will go a long way in maintaining the quality of participation. You do a great job as gatekeeper here.

And you should reinstate your title, but if not, we all still regard you as such!

After watching the Olympic Closing Ceremonies I want to see Yang Tae-hwan(13YR) preform late night Terrapin Porch(probably about the time he gets out of school Korea time). Maybe give Taz a bag of candy corn and a Red Bull around midnight for a duo shred-a-thon late night. Yang is 10 in the following video.

P.S. I know Taz isn't scheduled at Lockn'.

Imagine how great he will be as his hands grow and he discovers the other three strings.
