MHalv439: Todd deserved gold. its too bad he fell

MHalv439: I think he is the most polished amateur male skater there
OnlineHost: Emma74 has entered the room.

NLathy: Well, that's one skater we can count on:)
MHalv439: Have any of you guys ever met your fave skater in person?

OnlineHost: GoodyGa has entered the room.
MplsSk8r: Jaime, you'll schmooze *with* us!
MyKurt: That's right Kelly, we're regular skating "groupies"........<G>
NLathy: I'm just telling it like it is.
Tesia: GoodyGa, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
RIVAPAT: Kurt was GREAT!
Skate Doc: I don't know how involved I can get from a professional standpoint. Already talked to
Tesia: Okay, okay... I suppose I will...:-)
MplsSk8r: We have a fundraiser on the TOC every year before the show.
Skate Doc: Harlick about a booth.
GoodyGa: Hi room
MyBrian: Hi Goody
MplsSk8r: <--------skating groupie :-)
Tesia: Even if you could just give us some advice or ideas, we'd be grateful. :-)
MyKurt: Hey Goody. :-)
MHalv439: Has anyone heard how scott hamilton is doing?
NLathy: The US could have gotten 3 spots in the men's event for next year if he had finished 12th.
MyBrian: I heard the Kemo is taking its toll on him
MplsSk8r: *Please* don't put all the blame on Dan.
MyKurt: NLathy, what's done is done. No need to blame Dan for it.
Tesia: Bad luck happens to everyone, Nat, unfortunately....
Tesia: sometimes it comes at the worst times...
NLathy: He deserves a lot of the responsibility.
GoodyGa: Hi Jenny
MyKurt: I don't remember MW doing all that "brilliantly".............(sorry Kel) <G>
MHalv439: Scott is such a strong person, i'm sure he is going to pull through okay
MplsSk8r: Not a Dan fan, are ya?? :-)
RIVAPAT: I heard is was getting pretty rough--Chemo does take a toll and I imagine he is taking
Skate Doc: Got to look at the tour schedual--when its over. Most of the folks you will want will be on
NLathy: It wasn't bad luck. It was less than stellar skating.
Skate Doc: it.
MplsSk8r: Jen, it's true though! :-P
NLathy: I'm just amazed that it happened.
RIVAPAT: fairly frequent does of it since that's his only treatment and no operation is involved.
MHalv439: Has anyone ever met todd eldredge, if so where/how?
MyKurt: I'm afraid it *was* bad luck.
Tesia: Yeah, I know... we were semi-planning on late July/early
Tesia: August, when tours are over.
MplsSk8r: LOL...Jen? Todd?
MyKurt: ::::::::::::::::::giggling::::::::::::::::: Pig Latin, Kel???? :-D
MyBrian: 1998?
NLathy: How can it be bad luck? He really didn't skate the program well all season but that one in particular
NLathy: was bad
MplsSk8r: ROTFL!!! And French with the PC man!
Skate Doc: A lot of the skaters plan vacations right after the tour.
MHalv439: Did anyone see Kurt forget his program the other night in the final four?
NLathy: I think it will be Todd and Mike at the Olympics and Worlds next year.
MyKurt: Blah blah blah blah blah....all the talk in the world isn't going to change what happened to
MyKurt: Dan.
MplsSk8r: Todd is such a gentleman! Met him the past two Junes.
OnlineHost: DellaG has entered the room.
NLathy: Yeah, I saw that too.
MyKurt: ;-)
Tesia: Didn't think about that... September, perhaps, might be better?
OnlineHost: SkateJoy has entered the room.
MplsSk8r: No, it will be Todd and Dan, thank you.
MHalv439: How did you meet todd?
Tesia: DellaG, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
MyBrian: Yes, I felt bad for Kurt
Tesia: SkateJoy, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
MyKurt: Joy baby!!
SkateJoy: Hi Guys :)
SkateJoy: Jenny baby !!
NLathy: Mike had a better season than Dan.
MyKurt: {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Joy }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
MHalv439: That thing with Kurt was a RARE thing
Tesia: Heya, Joy...:-)
MplsSk8r: At the TOC pre-show receptions here in MN.
NLathy: I think Mike will continue to improve.
SkateJoy: Hey Jaime...:) Everyone behaving for you tonight ?
MplsSk8r: <-----getting a little tired of Dan bashing tonight
MyKurt: Compare what happened to Kurt on Saturday's comp to the rest of the season..................
Tesia: Yep, so far...:-)
MHalv439: Did you just approach todd or did you have backstage passes?
NLathy: Maybe Scott will finish ahead of Dan next year.
SkateJoy: Lucky you :)
NLathy: Who's Dan bashing?
SkateJoy: btw, Laura's engrossed in March Maddness this evening...:-/
MyBrian: Scott got rooked on cores
MplsSk8r: MH - pre-show party invites.
Tesia: Got your note, BTW-- come on, if I didn't leave it hanging, who would read it? <G>
MyBrian: sorry, scores
MyKurt: I'm getting tired of it too, Kel. Some people can't seem to find positive things to say. ;
MyKurt: ;-)
MHalv439: how do you get those preshow invites?
Sk8ing4fun: how did you get invited to the preshows?
MplsSk8r: Thanks, Jen! :-)
SkateJoy: hehehe...I knooooowwww,, I just couldn't help complaining... :)

TTURTLE8: this room is great!
MplsSk8r: Hi Joy!! How are ya??
Tesia: TTURTLE8, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
TTURTLE8: i want to move in!
MHalv439: how much money did you fork out?
Sk8ing4fun: really!! do they do it in NY?
SkateJoy: Doin' fine :) and you ?
MyBrian: you are in
MplsSk8r: It's $50
NLathy: Well, if he turns it around next season. I'll be happy for him. How's that?
BUTTERL311: mpls, are the tix limited? how do we get them?
MHalv439: that would be so cool. Did you meet more than Todd?
MplsSk8r: Good, Joy! Getting sleepy, that's all.
MyKurt: Better, NLathy. <G>
GoodyGa: tturtle- leave
MyKurt: I'm just teasing. :-)
SkateJoy: Just don't snore and I won't complain :)
TTURTLE8: why goody? why cant i spend quality time with all my skating buds?
MyKurt: Is the Turtle causing trouble? <G>
GoodyGa: Nevermind, Rachel
SkateJoy: <g>
MplsSk8r: That's ok, NLathy! :-) Just think positive! :-P
TTURTLE8: finally come to your senses!
Tesia: Now, now folks... let's be nice...:-)
TTURTLE8: who is tesia referring to?
MplsSk8r: MH - all the U.S. skaters were there last year, and the year before Elvis & Philippe showed
MplsSk8r: too
NLathy: I'm positive Dan needs to do better next year:)
Tesia: Your hostess is in a weird mood tonight...forgive me...:-)
MHalv439: Where was the fundraiser held?
TTURTLE8: anyone know who is winning in the ncaa bball championship game?
MyKurt: Jaime, what's new? :-/
NLathy: I'd rather talk about Tara.
MplsSk8r: Mpls
Tesia: Jenny, :-P
MyBrian: tough bunch tonight
MHalv439: Is there one this year? If so, when and how would I get tickets?
RIVAPAT: Arizona is up by 1 pt at halftime--second half is about to start.
MyKurt: <--------------------feeling feisty
SkateJoy: Did everyone hear that Tara is on Rosie tomorrow ?
MyBrian: no more Tara, please
TTURTLE8: anyone know who is winning in the ncaa bball championship game?
Tesia: Since Laura isn't here, I can say "Go Arizona!!" <EG>
SkateJoy: Oops, sorry MyBrian :)
MyKurt: <-------actually *defended* Tara tonight :-P
SkateJoy: lol ( Jaime ) I'm tellinnnnnn' !!!
NLathy: Yes, I want to see that. Barb I was puzzled to see Brian criticize Tara.
MplsSk8r: Gophers are #1! :-)
Tesia: Why is it so bad to defend Tara, Jenny?
MyKurt: I just usually don't.
Tesia: Go ahead, Joy...
TTURTLE8: this joint rocks!
MyBrian: What did he say?
NLathy: Tara doesn't need defending. Her skaing speaks for itself.
NLathy: Brian said Tara's presentation marks should be 4.9s
SkateJoy: I agree, NLathy...
MplsSk8r: MH - there is one in MN if you are coming here I can get you the info
MyKurt: NLathy, I defended her after reading that horrible Chicago Tribune article. :-P
SkateJoy: I don't see why everyone has just JUMPED on her this season....:-/
MyBrian: I didn't hear about that sorry
NLathy: Ironic coming from someone who has often been criticized for his artistry.
MHalv439: I am from iowa and would be able to go to minneapolis for it is I had more info
MyBrian: Brian is usually nice about other skaters
NLathy: I like Boitano but he would have lost the Gold in Calgary if presentation had been the tiebreaker.
NLathy: I'll forgive him Barb:)
Tesia: I'm sorry, but the anti-Tara feelings are just horrid,
MplsSk8r: Oh the Iowa arena is terrible, come to MN! (Remember IA, Jen?)
Tesia: especially in the media. If remarks like that were made
Tesia: about a 14 year old in any other context besides sports,
Tesia: the writers would be ran out of town.
MyBrian: but he didn't
GoodyGa: joy- I heard that also, and then I heard that she was not going to be on
RIVAPAT: Does anyone know what pair teams, besides Meno & Sand, will be on TOC?
DellaG: Sorry, all Brian fans, but Brian needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, since he is a
BUTTERL311: where from in iowa?
MyKurt: I don't think it's fair to say that Brian has no artistry..... :-P
MplsSk8r: Brasseur & Eisler will be there!
DellaG: commentator for the network that televises the competition. It shows a little lack of sen
MplsSk8r: on the TOC
TTURTLE8: anyone know who is winning in the ncaa bball championship game? arizona or kentucky?
NLathy: I agree. She's the champ. Give her her due or just leave it be.
MHalv439: North liberty, right outside of iowa city
MyKurt: Lloyd????? :-PPPPPPP
DellaG: sensetivity on his part.
BUTTERL311: cedar falls
MyBrian: Brian is a what?
TTURTLE8: i like scott the best!
SkateJoy: Really Goody ? I just saw the post a minute ago....hadn't heard she might not be on...
MplsSk8r: MH - Do you go to the TOC in Ames?
TTURTLE8: actually tanya was quite a charater!
SkateJoy: any idea why ?
NLathy: I never said Brian had no artistry. But it seems odd for him to criticize someone else's.
MyKurt: Brian is a commentator, she said.
TTURTLE8: goody, i cant believe that either!
MHalv439: No but i went to discover card tour in Moline
MyKurt: Why would it be odd?
BUTTERL311: i go to the quad cities... how about you MH?
RIVAPAT: I forgot Brasseur & Eisler--I was just curious to see what European Pair teams would be on
RIVAPAT: the TOC.
MyBrian: thanks
MyBrian: she is a he
MplsSk8r: The quad cities are cool!
MplsSk8r: I'm sure Woetzel & Stoeur might be on the TOC...?
OnlineHost: TTURTLE8 has left the room.
Tesia: I'd assume that Woetzel & Steuer will be there for at least part of it.
RIVAPAT: Arizona is up by 1 pt over Kentucky--second half is about ready to start.
MyKurt: Brian has as much right to criticize artistry as any other skater.....I'm confused by all
MyKurt: this.
GoodyGa: Joy- I was watching today and they had the people that were going to be on tomorrow
MHalv439: I had a great time, but I would have loved to have front row. I had good seats though
NLathy: Kurt said Brian's skating isn't that hard between the jumps. Boitano really hasn't been known for
SkateJoy: ahhhh...thanks for the info. Goody :)
BUTTERL311: i don't think TOC stops anywhere in iowa... moline IL is the closest.
MyBrian: Nat, your in trouble
NLathy: much besides jumping. why would he criticize tara that way?
MplsSk8r: We went to the Ames show two summers ago. Awful, awful arena.
GoodyGa: Tara was not on .. the only thing i thought was maybe it was a repeat - JOY
MHalv439: Please tell me, mpls, where is that fundraiser and how would I get tickets
DellaG: Brian has a right, when is not commentating during a competition. But, when he speaks to
MplsSk8r: The front row is like 50 feet off from the ice, up in the air!
MyKurt: I'm done arguing about Brian tonight. :-)
MyKurt: What's the next topic? :-)
MHalv439: The Mark is a great arena
DellaG: the press during a competition, that he is involved in, I think he is going too far.
SkateJoy: That could be it...I haven't been watching much of Rosie lately, so I hadn't heard anything
MyBrian: Nats in a mood tonight
NLathy: Just answering MyKurt Barb. Talking to MyBrian is a good way to get into trouble.:)
DellaG: Wait until it is over, and he is somewhere else.
MplsSk8r: The fundraiser is at Target Center the day of the show
Tesia: Rosie? Okay, so I'm behind... Tara'll be on tomorrow. :-)
MyBrian: You better believe it
OnlineHost: IrishPete1 has entered the room.
RIVAPAT: Arizona 33, Kentucky 32
MyKurt: ::::::::::::::::::::giggling at Barb:::::::::::::::::::::::::
MHalv439: Front row at the Mark is on the floor practically. They are great seats
NLathy: I'm sorry I meant talking to MyKurt is a good way to get into trouble:)
MyKurt: Barb, you're as bad as I am when it comes to Brian.
MplsSk8r: EM me (no IM) and I can EM you the address to write to.
NLathy: You're never any trouble Barb.
MHalv439: When is the show, mpls?
MyBrian: and Kurt too:~)
MplsSk8r: Jaime, are you really thinking of coming to MN?
GoodyGa: Go Wildcats!
MyKurt: ::::::::::::grinning evilly at NLathy:::::::::::::: Only if you criticize Kurt. ;-)
MplsSk8r: The show here is Sat. 6/14 at 3pm
SkateJoy: NLathy, I can attest to getting in trouble w/ MyKurt <G>
Tesia: Yep, in fact, I'm almost definitely coming, Kel, if Jenny's invite is still open. :-)
MyBrian: I'm big trouble usually
MyKurt: Joy! :-PPPPPPPPP
NLathy: Or Grishuk&Platov
NLathy: :)
MyKurt: It's open, Jaime. :-)
OnlineHost: IrishPete1 has left the room.
MyBrian: Even Gail chewed me out this week
MyKurt: WIDE open!
SkateJoy: ::::::;giggle:::::; couldn't resist, Jen :)
MHalv439: And how do you get tickets to the preshow? is it too late?
MplsSk8r: woo hoo! Big party! My friend from NY may be coming in too!
Tesia: Party! :-)
NLathy: There's going to be a pro-am team competition on 4/27
MplsSk8r: You need to send in $50, MH.
OnlineHost: RIVAPAT has left the room.
MyBrian: I live in the wrong part of the country
NLathy: Pros vs Amateurs.
MplsSk8r: And a pro-am on 4/11 in NC, too!
SkateJoy: I know Kelly, and I'm going to miss it :(
MyKurt: Yeah Kel, but Kurt's not there................ :-(
MyBrian: I'm moving to San Francisco
NLathy: Well, it takes place 4/11 it will air 4/27.:)
MplsSk8r: oh that's terrible, Joy!!
NLathy: Paul will be there.
MplsSk8r: Oh I miss San Francisco...
DellaG: What network?
MyKurt: Barb's gonna put the moves on Brian! GO BARB! ;-)
MplsSk8r: LOL!
SkateJoy: I know, I'm sick about it, but wadda ya gonna do ?
NLathy: So will Viktor and Rudy. Barb will want to see Viktor:)
MyBrian: No No, for my daughter
MplsSk8r: Why are you missing it??
MHalv439: is is me, or does anyone else get annoyed by rosalyn sumners?
MplsSk8r: Joy?
NLathy: It will be on ABC 4 to 6 EST 4/27
SkateJoy: Other plans and no $$$$ :(
DellaG: Thanks.
GoodyGa: Did anyone think that NBCs coverage of Mandy and Ingo's fall was distasteful
DellaG: Roz annoyed me.
MyKurt: I'd take Roz any day over that Elfie chick. :-PPPPPPPPPPPPPP
MyBrian: I see him at every TOC and last time up close
NLathy: Elfie was obnoxious. Skaters cut her off 3 times.
SkateJoy: Yeah, Jen....but Roz still got on my nerves :(
MplsSk8r: Yes, but IMO they really should have stopped skating after that!!
MHalv439: Roz thinks shes the god of skaters, but she is not that great of a skater herself
NLathy: 3 different skaters cut her off.
MyKurt: LOL....yeah NLathy, that was *priceless*!
MyBrian: God, I almost got a hug from him but I lucked out
MHalv439: Roz loves to pick apart her peers!
MplsSk8r: hug from who?
NLathy: Roz was a great skater 13 years ago.
MyBrian: Viktor
DellaG: I don't know, Roz's voice just annoys me. Too loud, I guess.
Tesia: Now, Roz is still a beautiful skater, regardless of what you
NLathy: Roz is getting paid to pick apart her peers. Let's be fair.
Tesia: think of her commentary. :-)
SkateJoy: You know Elfie was getting on people's nerves......Even Kurt got "snippy" with her !!!!!
MplsSk8r: I refuse to hug Brian with his pelt! :-)) j/k
MyKurt: <-----------staying OUT of the Roz debate tonight ;-)
MHalv439: I believe she was good once, but she should be more tactful in her critiques
MplsSk8r: <---------hugged by Viktor on 5/16/94
MyBrian: His pelt?
MyKurt: LOL Kel!
NLathy: MyKurt. Always the diplomat.:)
MyKurt: Well................not *always*..<G>
MHalv439: I wont rip on roz, but she bugs me
SkateJoy: Wanna bet, NLathy ?
SkateJoy: :)
MyKurt: :::::::::::::::glaring at Joy:::::::::::::::::::::::
MplsSk8r: Oh, we've got this *nasty* picture of Brian with his chest hair sprouting out like trees
Tesia: Well, who's more qualified to pick apart the skaters than a
Tesia: fellow skaters? Are we more qualified? :-)
MyKurt: Watch it sis!
SkateJoy: just kidding :):):):)
NLathy: Nicole, Tara, and Michelle will be on the same team at the pro am.
MplsSk8r: from Chicago two Junes ago
MyBrian: come on what pelt?
MyKurt: On his chest, Barb. <G>
NLathy: Roz, Caryn, and Jill will be on the pro team.
Tesia: Guys, guys...need I remind you of Kimber's "body parts"
Tesia: rule? I think you're close to violating it.......<g>
GoodyGa: when will the proam air on TV?
MHalv439: Has anyone me roz? Is she as annoying in person?
MplsSk8r: body hair rule??
Tesia: Body hair is a body part....:-)
MyBrian: Drooling:~P''''''
SkateJoy: lol
OnlineHost: BratsyB has entered the room.
Tesia: I've heard that Roz is wonderfully nice in person....
MyKurt: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.........change the subject! ;-)
NLathy: 4/27 4 to 6 EST for the pro am comp Hershey's Challenge. It should be sweet:)
MplsSk8r: Roz is very sweet in person, however I only met her for a brief 15 seconds, and didn't have
MplsSk8r: to listen to commentary!
DellaG: I guess for pro's and pro-am type competitions, picking apart a skater just grates at me.
GoodyGa: I cant believe that they wont show it sooner
MyBrian: pelt it to me pelt it to me
MplsSk8r: Sorry, Jaime!
Skate Doc: Roz is actually very nice in person.
MHalv439: Her commentary seems harsh and whiny
MplsSk8r: <--------sucking her thumb in the corner
Tesia: Not a problem...just being the hostess...:-)
MyKurt: ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!
SkateJoy: lol
NLathy: At least they are not waitng 3 months.
MplsSk8r: LOL!!
MyKurt: Kel, that was PRICELESS!!!!!!
MHalv439: I admire anyone who can skate the way these champions do, though
MplsSk8r: What was?
OnlineHost: CASKM has entered the room.
NLathy: Lloyd could have been nicer.
MplsSk8r: I can skate like the champions...
MyKurt: You sucking your thumb!
SkateJoy: MH, I think of that every time *i* get out on the ice <g>
MplsSk8r: I'm also the Queen of England
Tesia: Don't get me started on Lloyd.....
MyBrian: Lloyd was madddddd
MHalv439: Of anyone you've met, who is the most different off the ice?
MplsSk8r: I always suck my thumb.
NLathy: Go for it Jaime.
DellaG: Well, Liz, nice to see you on the boards.
MyKurt: Lloyd = big baby
NLathy: :)
GoodyGa: I love lloyds antics
CASKM: What is tonight's topic Jaime? The convention?
MplsSk8r: Ooooh, tough question MH...Jen care to take a stab at that?
MHalv439: What did lloyd eisler say?
GoodyGa: he is the dennis rodman of skating
NLathy: Maybe, they should stop competing.
Tesia: I admire the fact that he tells it like it is, but really, he crossed the line...
MyKurt: Ugh.......that's a tough one Kel.
NLathy: Lloyd said the ISU are jerks after the scores came up.
MyBrian: He called the judges jerks
MplsSk8r: Probably Scott H. ONLY because he's so quiet off the ice...
Tesia: Hi, Christie.... actually, we're just doing a free for all tonight. :-)
DellaG: Telling it like it is, and calling judges jerks are two different things.
OnlineHost: TFPeker has entered the room.
MyKurt: AMEN Della.
SkateJoy: I'd have to agree with that Kelly....but then he was exhausted when I met him.....
NLathy: "jerks" was unneccessary.
MplsSk8r: yeah, and like Jen said, The ISU judges gave them the championships as amateurs!
MHalv439: Has anyone ever been a penpal to any of the skaters? If so who?
MplsSk8r: True Joy, who wouldn't be exhausted on the road like they are! :-P
MyKurt: Yeah, the ISU judges are only jerks if they give them low scores. <G>
CASKM: I don't know why B & E thought the ISU judges would be kinder than the pro judges
Sk8ing4fun: Nancy has writetn me a number of times!!
MplsSk8r: "pen pal" - there's a term I haven't heard in a while!
MyBrian: They should have done a different program
SkateJoy: Yeah, Kelly - I don't see how they do it.....
NLathy: Charlie Brown had a pencil pal.
MHalv439: i thought the final four competition was biased toward the amateurs
MplsSk8r: LOL!!!
DellaG: Didn't B&E come in second?
BUTTERL311: i think they rely too much on lifts than anything else.
NLathy: ultimate four mHalv:)
MHalv439: what does lol mean?
TFPeker: I think B&E should've done Please Clarify
OnlineHost: MHardy3023 has entered the room.
MplsSk8r: Oh no doubt. They already knew who they'd let win ahead of time. IMO, of course
NLathy: laugh out loud
MyKurt: Too many showy stunts, not enough "skating", if you ask me.
MyBrian: laughing out loud
TFPeker: Well, amatuers had more difficulty
SkateJoy: Hey guys, what was the 2nd program that Jenny and Todd did ?? I kinda fell asleep...:)
MplsSk8r: Now if Bechke & Petrov would have skated..... :::::sigh::::::
MHalv439: this is true
MyKurt: ::::::sighing with Kelly::::::::::
MplsSk8r: It was from "The Secret Garden." Beautiful!
MyBrian: Very unuasual competition
OnlineHost: GGOm1 has entered the room.
NLathy: Bechke and Petrov have been great all season.
SkateJoy: ::::::sighing with Kelly and Jenny :::::::
MHalv439: hey, becky are you still there?
MyBrian: a lot of mishaps
DellaG: B&E, in my opinion, are strickly show skaters now. They can't compete with the eligibles
MyKurt: Joy...........
MyKurt: ;-)
MplsSk8r: Joy LOL!
SkateJoy: :)
NLathy: I liked the competition. I agree with you Della G
MplsSk8r: B&P - grace and perfection on ice!
TFPeker: Did anyone think that this program looked a little like The Man I love. It was also
SkateJoy: Kell, I thought "Secret Garden" was the first program they did ....
TFPeker: choreographed by Sandra Bezic
NLathy: B&E can't compete with the better pro teams now.
MyKurt: I *still* think that Todd isn't nearly as artistic as the other three men!
MHalv439: goodnight everyone! Talk to you next week!
NLathy: at least not with Bechke&Petrov
DellaG: Ah, artistry is in the eye of the beholder.
MyKurt: Night MH!
SkateJoy: Night :)
MyBrian: But he's familiar with the rules
MplsSk8r: I'm not sure Joy, I thought it was the long. I could be wrong (poet & didn't know it)
NLathy: He's much more technical My Kurt and not just with jumps.
OnlineHost: MHalv439 has left the room.
Tesia: At the very least, Todd doesn't have the showmanship of the other three men, yet. :-)
NLathy: I think Todd's artistry has improved.
MyKurt: I know his jumps are stronger, but his footwork isn't as good as the other three........
SkateJoy: :) Thanks, Yeah I loved that program - I've been waiting for Sandra to do something forthem
NLathy: Showmanshsip doesn't do much for me.
Tesia: But he's getting there...:-)
MplsSk8r: Todd's gonna work his little skatin' booty off at Worlds when he sees me & Jen in the crowd
MyKurt: Wait a second........I *love* Todd's skating, guys. Don't get me wrong.
GoodyGa: Todd Reminds me a lot of Brian B
DellaG: But, if I see that program, one more time, I will scream. - This is the moment. Saw it
MplsSk8r: oops sorry, said a body part there.
Tesia: Showmanship isn't just playing to the audience, Nat-- it's
Tesia: selling the program, no matter what it is. :-)
TFPeker: Didn't she choreographed Nassaum Dorma?
DellaG: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday....
NLathy: Todd reminds me of Brian B too.
MyKurt: ::::::::::::giggling at Kel::::::::::::::::::: He'd better! ;-)
MplsSk8r: <-------------sucking her other thumb in the corner
MyBrian: Did you say Brian B?
NLathy: Todd's short program at Worlds was great.
MyBrian: In what way?
GoodyGa: Yes!
SkateJoy: Kel, you're nutso, Deary :)
MplsSk8r: Brian Busschkov
TFPeker: LOL
MyKurt: Todd deserved FIRST in the short! :-)
MyBrian: That's better
GoodyGa: tecnically
DellaG: Sorry, Todd does not remind me of Brian Boitano, in any way shape or form.
CASKM: I watched the mens shorts very closely. Todd should have been in first
OnlineHost: Pepper1621 has entered the room.
DellaG: Todd is Todd, Brian is Brian.
Pepper1621: Hello everyone.
MplsSk8r: where's Salt?
Pepper1621: Saw that one coming.
MyKurt: LOL!
TFPeker: LOL
MplsSk8r: Hee, only teasing. :-)
SkateJoy: he's in the other shaker, Kel :)
BUTTERL311: i think the fact that he doesn't play some character kind of throws people off. his own
MyKurt: <--------------------------paprika
BUTTERL311: personal style fits him well
MyBrian: Yes, sigh, Brian is Brian:~)
SkateJoy: lol
MplsSk8r: AHHHH! Joy! Jen! ROTFL!
MplsSk8r: <-----------basil
Pepper1621: Anyway, do you all sometimes read those phoney magazines like the Star?
MyKurt: Joy = oregano
TFPeker: not really
MplsSk8r: Ooh, trash mags!
DellaG: Never read those rags.
Pepper1621: I know,
Tesia: I try not to, Pepper..... though I'm occasionally sucked in. <g>
SkateJoy: LOL!!! ( how did you know ?!?!??!)
Pepper1621: Well I saw one at the rack and it had this wack headline.
MHardy3023: I read those trash only to do the crossword puzzles!
MyBrian: any good gossip lately?
MyKurt: I *KNOW* you, deary. :-)
CASKM: No I don't Pepper, although I do look at the cover while I am in the checkout line
MHardy3023: Scott H was in Star and Globe of this week....

MyBrian: Ya, right Marci
MyKurt: Ugh! :-P What's the source on THAT one?
DellaG: Oh, and when is the wedding to take place?
MyBrian: Hey, Hi Marci, how you doing?
OnlineHost: Breaks007 has entered the room.
NLathy: The tabloids should leave Scott alone.
MplsSk8r: Almost as tasteless as NBC running the "disclamer" on the Ultimate 4!
Pepper1621: I know
BUTTERL311: is she known for anything besides being an old flame?
Breaks007: Are you folks talking of Scott Hamilton?
Pepper1621: Yeah.
Breaks007: How are his treatments going?
TFPeker: Did anyone think Roz was on drugs? She said that B&E did ONLY ONE triple twist, ONE throw
MHardy3023: Which tabloid said that he's marrying Karen? I didn't see that at all!
NLathy: Arizona is up 4 on kentucky with about 12 minutes left.
DellaG: I heard she is the daughter of the man who sponsored Scott in his amateur days.
TFPeker: unlike other pairs. Every other pair did also one throw and twist
MplsSk8r: Did anyone see VH-! with Donny Osmond on Saturday? He had Dorothy Hamill on!
NLathy: make that two points up.:)
SkateJoy: I can see Laura having a fit as we speak.....:-/
Tesia: Did he?? I missed that!
MyBrian: If it's true I'm happy for Scott
MplsSk8r: Donny and this other guy dressed in a pink tutu and body suit and skated on a rink!
Tesia: Quick, everyone, hide from Laura if she appears! <g>
OnlineHost: Pepper1621 has left the room.
SkateJoy: lol - Jaime :)
BUTTERL311: i hate to ask, but is any part of this story slightly true?
MyBrian: She probably read the mag. and is in morning
Tesia: Which story? I'm lost...:-)
NLathy: What was Dorothy doing on VH1
MplsSk8r: Donny hosts a 70s tribute show on VH1.
CASKM: Is anyone watching the ESPN Worlds repeat? They showed Vlacenko's free skate
SkateJoy: BUTTER - I do recall hearing that Scott's long time girlfriend WAS named Karen.....
MHardy3023: Star only said Karen flew to be by Scott's side for his treatments; nothing about wedings.
MyBrian: I ment mourning, da!
BUTTERL311: thanks Joy!!
SkateJoy: :)
Breaks007: Can we EMail Scott Hamilton??
DellaG: Is ESPN with Peter doing commentary?

MplsSk8r: Get lost!!
OnlineHost: NIKE138476 has left the room.

HMSHAPIRO: I read part of Rudy's book
GoodyGa: Is anyone here knowledgeble about cancer treatment?
Sk8ing4fun: oh- never saw it
MplsSk8r: I hope to read Rudy's book shortly!
NLathy: I like that documentary about Kurt--Life on The Edge.
MHardy3023: I am knowledgablre about cancer treatment....most of it.
MyKurt: Goody, does almost having to have it count?
NLathy: How was the book HM?
MyKurt: MHardy can field this one.
Tesia: I know more about cancer treatment than I want to...:-P
MplsSk8r: H, what did you think??
HMSHAPIRO: So far, really good
SkateJoy: That's a great doc. NLathy...got that one on tape :)
HMSHAPIRO: I got all teary-eyed
MHardy3023: What did you want to know about cancer Treatment. I'll try my best without references here.
MplsSk8r: Awwwwww...
MplsSk8r: <-----handing a hanky to Heather
MyKurt: Got teary eyed about what?
MyBrian: aw, it will be ok
MplsSk8r: Rudy's autobiography
NLathy: I have it on tape. I felt sad for him Skate Joy. But I liked the way he kept it in perspective.
MyKurt: Oh.
MyKurt: ;-)
HMSHAPIRO: I started to read it that night after I met him
SkateJoy: Yeah, he seems to be good at that, doesn't he ??? :)
NLathy: Also, I never knew what an amazing jumper he was at that time.
TFPeker: When was Life on the Edge made?
MplsSk8r: Oh that is soooo cool, love that story!! :-P
NLathy: I didn't watch skating then.
NLathy: It was made in 92
MplsSk8r: Did ya post it in the "Meeting Skaters" folder yet???
SkateJoy: Oh I know...that doc. displays that so well...I liked all the "behind the scenes" stuff....
NLathy: After 92 Olympics and Worlds.
MyBrian: yes, he's a good jumper
HMSHAPIRO: No, I really should, though
MHardy3023: Anyone see his videotape, JUMP? It's great!
CDNSK8: Does anyone know who I would contact to get a copy of Oksana's book donated for a fundraiser
NLathy: Kurt is still a good jumper. But back then he could do just about anyjump he wanted to do at any time.
MplsSk8r: You need to contact the publisher
MHardy3023: I have Oksana's book....not autographed, though.
NLathy: I've never seen jump.
GoodyGa: I gues I was wondering what the average is for someone to have it and be cured.. I know it
SkateJoy: Jaime, did we ever get around to watching Jump at Laura's ??
BUTTERL311: her book should be in the bookstores
TFPeker: his 91 long program is one of the most difficult. A quad, three triple-triple combos, triple
GoodyGa: depends on the person though
TFPeker: axels, footwork, etc.
HMSHAPIRO: I just got caught up on the message boards for the last month
Tesia: I think we did, Joy, but we watched so much that it kind of runs together...<g>
HMSHAPIRO: I haven't had time to check them regularly
NLathy: Oksana's book is a children's book isn't it?
MplsSk8r: Wow!
MHardy3023: Yep, it depends onthe person....attitudes helps alot with cancer treatment, too.
CDNSK8: How do I get in touch with the publisher?
MHardy3023: yep, Oksana's book is a children's book. Only about 70 pages, I think.
MplsSk8r: Can Jen and I come visit Jaime in St. Louis??
SkateJoy: Yeah, I think that's the one time I've ever OD'd on Kurt <g>
NLathy: Kurt didn't do the quad at 91 Worlds did he?
OnlineHost: Sk8ing4fun has left the room.
OnlineHost: DellaG has left the room.
Tesia: The door is open, Kel, as long as I live here. :-)
MplsSk8r: Don't they have an address inside the book?
MHardy3023: Carol, I'll email you w/the publisher name, ok!
SkateJoy: I think he tried, NLathy, but it turned into a 3/3.....
NLathy: I liked when Kurt did the loop as the second jump in his combo. And I like to watch his fast rotations
HMSHAPIRO: Kel, I'm gonna see what tickets are laeft for the MAy 3rd TOC in NJ
MplsSk8r: I like riding to the top of the St. Louis Arch!
TFPeker: at least he meant it on paper
MplsSk8r: H, that sounds great! Which one would you prefer?
Tesia: I haven't been to the top of the Arch since grade school...:-)
CDNSK8: Thanks Marci I'd appreciate it, but this is Mackenzie, not Carol.
SkateJoy: His edge jumps are soooooo smooth, NLathy....I love to watch his Salchow !!!
NLathy: I watched a tape of 87 Worlds and Kurt wasnt that good then. He really improved in 2 years.
MplsSk8r: the 3rd or 4th? Your b-day??? <g>
HMSHAPIRO: definitely the Sat
MplsSk8r: oh, cool!
HMSHAPIRO: My b-day is the 4th, sun
MHardy3023: Oh sorry, Mackenzie!
CDNSK8: That'
NLathy: I like Kurt's delayed salchow that is great. His axel is beautiful when he nails it too.
SkateJoy: Oh man, I would love to see some pre "88 Kurt stuff......
CDNSK8: OK!
TFPeker: I like his delayed double axel
MplsSk8r: woo hoo! Celebration time! <g>
NLathy: Bowman looked better pre 88 than Kurt.
OnlineHost: BratsyB has left the room.

SkateJoy: Too bad he didn't capitalize on it, NLathy :-/
MplsSk8r: Jen are ya still there??

SkateJoy: I can't wait to see "Summertime" again after he's "polished" it up !!!!
MyBrian: why did he leave part of it out in u-4
SkateJoy: To fit ISU standards
MyKurt: Probably too long or something.
Rachthegr8: guys...i need to talk to you
MplsSk8r: heh heh heh
CASKM: There was a lot of debate about "Summertime" the last couple of weeks. I think it is very

MyKurt: Jaime, the debate in the Pro Comp folder.
SkateJoy: Hi Ici :)
Slikid: anyone here snowboard
MyBrian: Hi ice
Rachthegr8: I have loved scott ever since i was young, and i dont know what to do now that, you know
MplsSk8r: I don't get the snake part... LOL
Rachthegr8: it is too painful to say
Tesia: Ah.... one of the folder's I've been skipping...
SkateJoy: I don't think Kurt does either, Kell :)
NLathy: You skip folders Jaime?
OnlineHost: Slikid has left the room.
CASKM: It was in the mens folder somewhere. Started to be a debate between Browning and Wylie fans
Icicle1111: But they say that Scott's prognosis is really good :-)
Tesia: Yeah, when I'm in a hurry... reality's been intruding lately.
MplsSk8r: Rach???
NLathy: Do you mean Browning and Boitano fans CASKM?
Rachthegr8: Icic, thanks, but i know the truth, the sad sad truth, he is not going to make it, my mom
Rachthegr8: told me
MyBrian: That's a pleasant change usually it's BB and Kb
SkateJoy: Gotta keep a positive attitude Rach....Scottie is :)
NLathy: There's reality besides skating?
Rachthegr8: i know, but it is so hard, i am depressed,,
SkateJoy: lol...NLathy..
MyKurt: LOL NLathy.....I've never seen it either.
CASKM: No. They kept talking about how all of Paul's programs are similar
Tesia: Unfortunately, Nat...I gotta pay my bills somehow, and I don't skate. ;-)
SkateJoy: If Scottie can do it, Rach, so can you
Rachthegr8: I have nothing to live for anymore,
Icicle1111: How does your Mom know all this?
NLathy: Well, that I can understand. Maybe you can make some bucks off this convention you're dreamin up
MplsSk8r: How does your mom know he won't make it??? Come on!
MyBrian: Boitano and Browning fans never argue right jenny?
HMSHAPIRO: I know of two people who had the same thing as Scott
HMSHAPIRO: They are both fine now
SkateJoy: Scott is finding LOTS to live for....so can you !!!
MplsSk8r: That's like Urmanov and Stojko fans never arguing!!
MyKurt: No offense Rach, but give me a break! He's going to be fine!
Tesia: I wish, Nat, but that's as likely as me making money off my writing. :-)
MyKurt: Right Barb. <G>
MplsSk8r: Well said, Jen!
NLathy: Everyone argues with Stojko and Urmanov fans:)
MyKurt: Thanks.
CASKM: Either you love Elvis or you don't. Not much middle ground
Rachthegr8: COL COL
NLathy: Anythings possible MyKurt. Remember Kurt was a dreamer once too.:)
MplsSk8r: go to bed
NLathy: I don't love Elvis.
MyBrian: I don't hate Elvis
NLathy: particularly this season's program.
Rachthegr8: my mom is an oncologist, she knows about that kind of stuff
CASKM: Neither do I
NLathy: I don't hate him either.
GGOm1: I like Elvis okay.
NLathy: So I guess I am somewhat in the middle on Elvis.
MyKurt: Well, I know a lot about cancer, and his prognosis is good, so there!
CDNSK8: Are you kidding NL, this season's program was awesome.
MyBrian: I hear he's going to be in TOC
NLathy: I like to watch his quad triple combo.
NLathy: CDN It seemed like just rest periods between jumps.
Icicle1111: I love Elvis, I love Kurt and I LOVE Alexei!! :-)
MyKurt: Besides, saying that you have nothing to live for if a celebrity dies is pretty sad.
MplsSk8r: Elvis is only doing a limited number of TOC shows so he can prepare for Nagano.
CASKM: I can appreciate Elvis' jumping ablility, but I don't see artistry
NLathy: Outside the jumps there wasnt much there.
GGOm1: Which Alexei, though?
Icicle1111: Urmanov
MplsSk8r: Exquisite taste, Icicle! :-D
NLathy: His Bruce Lee program was his best.
CDNSK8: Give him some time!
Icicle1111: Thank you :-)
MyBrian: I gotta go bye my firends
GGOm1: I'm with you too Icicle,
Icicle1111: bye MyBrian
Rachthegr8: COL means cry outlous
Icicle1111: outlous?
Rachthegr8: outloud
Tesia: Bye, Barb...:-)
MplsSk8r: That's like me saying I have nothing to live for now that Alexei withdrew from Worlds! Ugh
MplsSk8r: Bye!
NLathy: I like to watch Yagudin. He's got a lot of potential. He needs more stamina.
GGOm1: although Yagudin's pretty good too.
MyKurt: Bye Barb :-)
CASKM: I like Yagudin's exhibition program
SkateJoy: bye Barb :)
MplsSk8r: Yagudin was amazing!
GGOm1: You could substitue Ilya for what you just said about Yagudin, Nat.
MyBrian: P.S Jenny, I'll look for your e-mail, hint hint. bye
MplsSk8r: and a cutie, too
MyKurt: <G> I'll send it!
MyBrian: thanks
OnlineHost: MyBrian has left the room.
MplsSk8r: H are you having fun at work??
NLathy: I prefer Kulik over Yagudin and Urmanov. GGOm1. You could say that about all the Russian men:)
MyKurt: Yagudin? ::::confused::::
NLathy: It seems that way anyway.
Rachthegr8: I am leaving to go to a psychiatric room where they can help me with my
Rachthegr8: depression
HMSHAPIRO: Yeah!
MplsSk8r: Alexei Yagudin...the bronze medalist
Rachthegr8: bye
CASKM: Confused about what Jen?
SkateJoy: bye - feel better....
Icicle1111: Urmanov is a hunka hunka burnin' love :-) and Kulik is a liitle Russian doll with rosiecheek
Tesia: Goodbye, Rachel...
MplsSk8r: Is your man there? <g>
GGOm1: Well, it was pretty good that Urmanov threw in that triple axel/double toe at the end of his
MplsSk8r: LOL, Icicle!
GGOm1: CSF long program.
HMSHAPIRO: No, he works during the day\
NLathy: Todd should have won the short program over Alexei at Worlds
MplsSk8r: Bummer...BTW, what airport is best to fly into??
CASKM: Definitely
OnlineHost: LZ4qlting1 has entered the room.
HMSHAPIRO: But we're not dating anymore
NLathy: Todd would have won had they placed him 1st in the short.
MplsSk8r: Oh no!!
OnlineHost: Rachthegr8 has left the room.
MyKurt: Who WAS that???
CASKM: Todd would have won if Elvis was still 4th. He was cleaner than both Urmanov and Kulik
MplsSk8r: yay, no more whining!
HMSHAPIRO: LOL!
MyKurt: Jeepers CREEPERS!
BUTTERL311: hopefully it's an omen so he'll take nagano (i.e. boitano, orser)
GoodyGa: Guys- Rachel(tturtle and Rachthegr8) is only 14.. she was exaggerating quite a bit..
HMSHAPIRO: Oh, Kel, Newark
NLathy: Elvis was placed properly in 4th. His presentation wasn't as good as the other 3. But I have a hunch
NLathy: he would disagree with me:)
HMSHAPIRO: I'll explain about theman in email
Icicle1111: Both Natl's and Worlds were marked on what each person did on that day...no one got the ...
MplsSk8r: Cool, thanks! EM me once you know if you're coming so we can get you a preshow invite
HMSHAPIRO: Not a big deal
Icicle1111: benifit of the doubt
MplsSk8r: and about the man
SkateJoy: brb
CASKM: Elvis' technical marks were lower than Urmanov & Kulik and shouldn't have been.
MyKurt: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::yawning::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
CASKM: I agree about Elvis' artistry
MplsSk8r: Jen, you need to get your invite $$ in, too. (Yeah, after the big chunk o' $$ for Worlds)
NLathy: Elvis's short program seemed to be an attempt to make him look like Orser. It didn't work.
MplsSk8r: <------tickling Jen to wake her up
MyKurt: <------------punching Kel
CDNSK8: Explain NL!
MyKurt: <G>
MplsSk8r: WHAT? Elvis attempting to look like Orser??
Tesia: Invite $$? Are you trying to leave me out again? :-)
MyKurt: Uh oh.........Kel's riled now. <G>
BUTTERL311: too bad we didn't get to SEE it so we could judge for ourselves
HMSHAPIRO: Kel, when do you need to know by?
NLathy: Elvis's arm movements and costume were reminiscent of Brian O's 88 long.
MplsSk8r: You too, Jaime! You silly!
MyKurt: Jaime, send yer money! :-) We'll NEVER leave you out!
Tesia: Okay, cool... just being paranoid. :-)
NLathy: Someone else watching with me thought the same thing.
MplsSk8r: Should probably get the $$ in before the end of April/early May to be safe!
MyKurt: I wish I could be a big Orser fan. :-(
NLathy: It makes sense considering the same person choreographed both programs.
CASKM: Elvis' short program costume does look like Orser's old costumes
HMSHAPIRO: Jaime's coming too?
CDNSK8: Why aren't you My?
NLathy: Why don't you like Orser MyKurt?
Tesia: Yep, I'm going to Minneapolis...:-)
MplsSk8r: I think she's staying with Jen
MyKurt: I don't know........just doesn't "do" it for me. I don't know why...
HMSHAPIRO: I'll get it to you as soon as I find a good flight
SkateJoy: Hey guys, anybody keeping tabs on the b-ball game ??
Tesia: No, Joy... anyone know who won? Just as an aside....
GoodyGa: Has anyone here ever gotten TOS priority seats?
MplsSk8r: Or we can all have a huge slumber fiesta and talk skating all night...boring, I know
GoodyGa: I am JOy- Arizona is up by 1
Tesia: ::turning on the game::
MyKurt: Skating is NEVER boring. :-)
NLathy: Watch the program's on tape you can see some similarities.
SkateJoy: Jaime...good tunes, good friends and a good flood :)
SkateJoy: thanks Goody :)
HMSHAPIRO: I agree, Jen
Tesia: What more can you ask for, Joy? :-)
GoodyGa: welcome
Icicle1111: Sk8ing can be boring... esp. now that it is on so often...
SkateJoy: I can't think of anything, Jaime :)
MplsSk8r: It's boring if you watch me skate! ha!
GoodyGa: I agree ICICLE
MyKurt: THAT'S for sure, Kel! :::::::::::::::::ducking::::::::::::::::::::
GGOm1: It's not the skating, it's the repetition of the same skaters, same programs.
Tesia: It's gotten to the point in the season where I'm ready for a
Tesia: change, that's for sure...
MplsSk8r: I can do outside/inside 3-turns now. Woopie.
NLathy: I don't watch the exhibitions. I prefer competitive skating.
MplsSk8r: oops, that's BACKWARD 3-turns.
CDNSK8: How long have you skated Mpls?
CASKM: Classic Sports had 1988 Landover today. Orser did The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Icicle1111: It is so herd for the pros/ams to keep the public entertained... u can;t make a new prgm..
Icicle1111: every week
SkateJoy: I'm getting skating "burnout" early this year, it seems......:(
MplsSk8r: Only about 2-1/2 years. Do you skate?
HMSHAPIRO: I still haven't learned back edges!
CDNSK8: Yes
MyKurt: AOL has ruined a few comps for me this year. :-P
HMSHAPIRO: I also haven't had a less in about a year!
MplsSk8r: How long have you been skating?
GoodyGa: Is there anyone here that is in college?
HMSHAPIRO: Oops, lesson
CDNSK8: 12 years. I coach now.
Icicle1111: Will be next year
NLathy: How did AOL do that?
MplsSk8r: When you come out here Heather, we'll get you back on the ice! Jaime, too!
BUTTERL311: yes, in my dorm room as we speak
Tesia: Well, I'm kind of in college.... taking classes, anyway.
MyKurt: I saw the results early. :-(
Tesia: Cool, gotta remember the skates...:-)
NLathy: Arizona is up by 1 with 90 seconds left.
HMSHAPIRO: Cool!
MplsSk8r: Cool! Wanna help me with my loop jump?? :-D
MyKurt: Jaime, are we gonna go skating?
GoodyGa: I was just wondering if there is anyone college age here...
HMSHAPIRO: who, me?
GoodyGa: thanks
MplsSk8r: I take night classes
CDNSK8: Oh, the loop!
Tesia: Sure, why not? You guys can see my pitiful waltz jump...:-)
NLathy: My Kurt you could have avoided the results. That's what I did for Worlds Men's and Ladies Long.
HMSHAPIRO: I'm way out of college!
BUTTERL311: full time college student
Icicle1111: how old r u GoodyGa?
SkateJoy: the ones with the fuzzy, pink blade covers Jaime ??? :) They're so cute !!!!
Tesia: If I were still in school full time, I'd be a junior in college this year...:-)
Tesia: :-P Joy..they're ugly...<g>
MyKurt: NLathy, I didn't get that option. Don't ask, it's a long story.......
HMSHAPIRO: Can't be worse than mine, Jaime :)
SkateJoy: <G>
Tesia: I dunno, Heather, mine have holes and need to be washed, badly. :-)
MplsSk8r: You want pitiful, see my sit spin sometime. LOL!!
SkateJoy: <------stuck with using rentals :-/
NLathy: I won't ask. MyKurt.:)
GoodyGa: 18
MplsSk8r: the "squat spin"
CDNSK8: Where are you from Mpls?
MyKurt: Terry's yelled at me many times over the waltz jump.......right Kel? :-)
MplsSk8r: Zimbabwe
CASKM: Maybe I will learn how to skate someday...
MyKurt: LOL!
SkateJoy: lol
MplsSk8r: Yes, that's for sure, Jen! LOL!
SkateJoy: So the Queen of England is now living in Zimbabwe ??????????
CDNSK8: Ever been on the ice CASKM?
MplsSk8r: Home of the '98 worlds
CASKM: So are the plans still on for TOC in Minneapolis?
MyKurt: I just realized it looked like I meant Terry Gannon.....<G>
NLathy: Arizona is up 2 with 61 seconds left.
MplsSk8r: HA! Joy, the queen of memory! :-PPPPP
CASKM: Not since I was a very little kid
SkateJoy: :::::;bowing deeply:::::::;
MplsSk8r: Yes are you attending the TOC here?
MyKurt: And the Queen of Procrastination? ::::::::looking at Jaime::::::::::::::
SkateJoy: Oh, guys - Laura is pulling the cats' hair out right now, I'm sure of it !!!!!
CDNSK8: It's never too late to learn CASKM!
GGOm1: Does anyone know who's going to be doing TOC?
CASKM: Planning on it. Jen and Jaime and I talked about it last week
Tesia: No, no, no! I'm the High Priestess of Procrastination!! :-)
MplsSk8r: Wow! We might as well have our own convention on 6/14! :-)
SkateJoy: Jaime, I MAY have dethroned you on a few occasions.......:)
CDNSK8: 6/14?
MyKurt: High Priestess???? Kinda like the Temple of Doom????? ::::::scared:::::::
Tesia: Nah, Joy, don't think so. Ask Laura. :-)
Tesia: Kinda, Jenny. <EG>
MplsSk8r: Jen, you should have guest starred on "Married With Children" tonight!
SkateJoy: Uhhhhh....Laura would back me up on that....:)
MyKurt: Huh??
MplsSk8r: Talking about getting an Oscar for scoring a free goodie out of a store! :-P
CASKM: When I win the lottery I'll give DSC a call]
CASKM: <g>
Tesia: Okay, guys..... shall we talk skating again? :-)
SkateJoy: skating ? what's skating ?????????
MplsSk8r: Let's talk skydiving!
MyKurt: Let's say more nice things about Kurt! :-)
BUTTERL311: overtime!!!
Icicle1111: I thought this was the bowling forum??
CDNSK8: So Jamie, what is the latest on the convention?
GoodyGa: NOOOO
MplsSk8r: Uh....um...isn't this the chatroom for dungeons and dragons? huh huh
Tesia: Not much on the convention right now... reality has intruded on all of us...:-)
MyKurt: Reality Bites.
MplsSk8r: Kurt is a very nice boy
SkateJoy: LOL!!!!!!!!1
NLathy: Has there been a convention before?
Icicle1111: well.. goodnight all :-)
MplsSk8r: Heather, Dan won't be here in MN! :-((
Tesia: No, there hasn't. We're pioneering. :-)
OnlineHost: Icicle1111 has left the room.
SkateJoy: Not to my knowledge...
HMSHAPIRO: No? why not
NLathy: How adventurous:)
CASKM: Is Dan doing any of the tour? Will he be in Detroit?
MplsSk8r: I dunno...he didn't say. I asked if he'll be in NJ/NY...
HMSHAPIRO: when did you hear from him?
MplsSk8r: I would hope he'd be in Detroit!!!!! :-)
NLathy: Maybe Dan will be in MN for 98 Worlds:)
MplsSk8r: I totally love Meno & Sand's new long program.
MplsSk8r: <------trying to keep the skating discussion flowing
CASKM: I want to see the mime program
Tesia: Good news, Joy-- Abby and Chloe are surviving the basketball game. :-)
MplsSk8r: OH yes, Dan will be here at Worlds....him and Todd!
CDNSK8: Well, Nite All!!!
SkateJoy: I love that program....would love to see it clean though.....
Tesia: G'nite! :-)
NLathy: I think it will be Mike and Todd.
MplsSk8r: Nighty night!
CASKM: Good night
SkateJoy: Yeah !!! Then Laura won't be sending me pics of bald kitties !!!!!
MplsSk8r: I got an EM from him on Saturday.
OnlineHost: CDNSK8 has left the room.
NLathy: What do you all think about Mike Weiss?
MplsSk8r: What's with these bald kitties??
SkateJoy: I think he's great......loved his LP this year......
MplsSk8r: MW = EGO (but mighty cute)
Tesia: I like Mike... he's got some improvements to do, but he's cool...
SkateJoy: Laura is going nutso over the UK game tonight.....
MplsSk8r: sex on ice
MplsSk8r: Can I say that??
CASKM: It will be interesting to see a new long program next year
BUTTERL311: has that masculine artistry about him... can't believe he's engaged to his choreographer
Tesia: Sure, Kel...just don't take it any further. :-)
HMSHAPIRO: Did I miss something?
MplsSk8r: What didja miss?
NLathy: Mike ought to focus less on being Macho. But he has a lot of talent. And he continues to improve.
HMSHAPIRO: I don't know, all i saw was sex on ice :)
MplsSk8r: HMMM good point
BUTTERL311: with who? mike?
OnlineHost: Pairsk8 has entered the room.
MplsSk8r: Oh talking about Michael Weiss.
SkateJoy: Well, NLathy, maybe that's just the style he's most comfy with ....:)
Pairsk8: hey room jr. pair competitor here
CASKM: So what did Dan have to say Kel? How is he taking Worlds?
MplsSk8r: No, he *IS* that
NLathy: He needs to branch out SkateJoy
MplsSk8r: All he really says is "I'll be ok :) " and he will. He said that he will only work harder!
SkateJoy: Yeah, I guess....it just didn't annoy me that much...I could still enjoy the programs...:)
MplsSk8r: He's such a fighter. He'll fight for a spot on the World Team in '98.
NLathy: I think he would have a better presentation if he tried something different.
MplsSk8r: who?
Tesia: I was partial to Mike's short program this year...
SkateJoy: What would you like to see him tackle ??
BUTTERL311: i don't think he'll be doing any tragic hero soon like our international friends
CASKM: I am sure Dan will come back fighting
MplsSk8r: How about "Moon River"
NLathy: How about classical?
MplsSk8r: LOL of course
SkateJoy: I could see that :)
NLathy: Something besides Santana.
SkateJoy: He has good line for that....
MplsSk8r: perhaps he could skate to Madonna
CASKM: LOL
HMSHAPIRO: NO MADONNA
BUTTERL311: with oksana
NLathy: He could skate to Malaguena:)
GGOm1: if he skated to Madonna, would he dye his hair too?
MplsSk8r: Aw Heather! :-)
SkateJoy: EEK. No Malaguena !!!!!!!!!
Pairsk8: weiss skated to the same thing last year. his long had a different slow this year though
HMSHAPIRO: how about AEROSMITH :)
Tesia: How 'bout Carmen? Or Firebird? <g>
MplsSk8r: Eww, nasty. A blond Michael Weiss
GoodyGa: Dan will be the Arizona of bbal- NO MADONNA
CASKM: NOOOO!!! I have hard Malaguenia enough for a lifetime.
SkateJoy: I think G&P have cornered that market on Madonna programs, thank you very much :(
MplsSk8r: Did AZ win??
NLathy: No more hard rock for Mike. Time to branch out.
Tesia: Nope, they're in OT...
MplsSk8r: LOL, Joy!
BUTTERL311: no we're still in overtime
NLathy: What about Scott Davis. Do you think he can come back?
GoodyGa: They WILL Win
HMSHAPIRO: I can't listen to Santana anymore
SkateJoy: :)
MplsSk8r: I hope AZ beats Kentucky, since KY beat OUR GOPHERS yesterday! Phooey!
GoodyGa: I miss Scott Davis.. he was sooo good
Tesia: Scott is doubtful, IMO....
OnlineHost: MargeR1 has entered the room.
Pairsk8: scott is done.
Tesia: Hi, Marge! :-)
SkateJoy: I miss Scott too...I keep crossing my fingers for him every season......
CASKM: Hi Marge. What's new?
BUTTERL311: do you think he'll improve with galena over kathy?
NLathy: It doesn't look to good for Scott.
MplsSk8r: Poor Scott Davis. He seemed to have really improved this past season. What happened?
Pairsk8: i agree
HMSHAPIRO: I haven't heard from Dan yet
SkateJoy: It looks like his nerves still get the better of him......
MplsSk8r: Did he read your message yet?
HMSHAPIRO: I don't know
NLathy: He still makes too many mistakes on his jumps those do him in. Seems to be nerves.
BUTTERL311: or his endurance in the long...
CASKM: I though Scott was a lot better at Nationals this year than the last few
HMSHAPIRO: It was right before worlds, hope he doesn't get upset reading it :(
MplsSk8r: I sent him another yesterday, he read but didn't reply yet. He's backlogged, I think.
GoodyGa: I think he was at his prime when he beat Brian
SkateJoy: The endurance problem IMO, is training like the Russians do...just the jumps....no content..
NLathy: Arizona is up 5 with 2 minutes left.
Tesia: I agree, Joy....
NLathy: It's down to 3 now.
MplsSk8r: My eyes are killing me. I'm gonna call it a night.
SkateJoy: That totally baffles me, why they do that....
Tesia: G'nite, Kel! :-)
BUTTERL311: good point Joy... he needs to do like the DSC skaters do--do through the WHOLE thing
SkateJoy: Night Kelly !!!!! :)
MyKurt: G'night Kel! :-) I'll TTYT!
MplsSk8r: Heather, EM me at work! I need something to do at work!
OnlineHost: SoulzMate has entered the room.
MplsSk8r: Yes, TTYT I'm sure, Jen! CM!
Tesia: Hi, Kimber!! :-)
MyKurt: Kimber!!!!!!! :-D
SoulzMate: Hi all. :)
HMSHAPIRO: OK Kel, it will be waiting for you
NLathy: I think the Russians want to get all the individual parts of the program down well. But they don't
MplsSk8r: Good night, Kimber! Didja pop yet?
SoulzMate: <----still very pregnant, so don't ask! :D
GoodyGa: Hi Kimber!
NLathy: work enough on doing the whole thing together.
MyKurt: GEEZ Kel!
SkateJoy: Kimber !!!!!!!! :)
MplsSk8r: Just kidding. I'm tired!
MyKurt: ::::::::::::::giggling madly:::::::::::::::
SoulzMate: No offense, Kel. :)
MplsSk8r: That's ok...just want you to have that baby! :-P
SoulzMate: What's the subject tonight, kids?
MplsSk8r: Good night everyone! See ya next week!
CASKM: We are just a little crazy tonite Kimber
CASKM: Good night Kel
SkateJoy: NIght Kell :)
SoulzMate: Nite, Kel. :)
MyKurt: Subject seems to be basketball. :-/
OnlineHost: MplsSk8r has left the room.
Tesia: Well, we were just talking about Scott Davis... what do you
Tesia: think his chances of making the World team again are?
SoulzMate: Hmmmm....basketball. Well, don't you feel that Shaquille O'Neil shouldn't be allowed to play? After
SoulzMate: all, his height gives him an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!
NLathy: I say it will be Todd and Mike on the World and Olympic team.
Tesia: :-)
MyKurt: <---------------out of her league in basketball chat :-P
NLathy: Arizona is up 4 with 45 seconds left.
BUTTERL311: how many triple/triples does dan have??
Pairsk8: what do you think of jason and kyoko
SoulzMate: Jen, that was just me making fun of that horrible columnist from the Times of London.
GoodyGa: LOL... Arizona is going to take it all! I hope that Scott makes aly team.. mike still has
GoodyGa: time
MyKurt: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................<G>
CASKM: I am betting on Scott Davis to get it back together. Todd and Scott in 98
NLathy: Dan is supposed to be able to do a triple ax triple loop combo. But I've never seen it.
Tesia: The articles about Tara have been horrid...like I said, if
Tesia: those comments were made about a 14 year old in any
Tesia: other context, the writer would be in loads of trouble....
MyKurt: I would *croak* if something happened to Todd next year. :-(
SoulzMate: My sentimental faves would be Todd and Scott. Scott could hang around another four years, tho!
CASKM: Of course Kimber knows how well I pick the winners.
SoulzMate: CAS, you didn't do the worst at the contest. :)
NLathy: I don't think Scott will hang around 4 more years if he misses the team again.
Tesia: Oh, I'm just as good at the contests. :-)
GoodyGa: Wait.. isnt there a chance that we can qualify one more man in some sort of competittion?
MyKurt: Is Laura joining us tonight or what? :-(
Tesia: Laura's obsessing over Kentucky tonight.:-)
SkateJoy: she's watching the game
SoulzMate: Jen, no.
NLathy: No, I think that competition is only for countries with no skaters.
SoulzMate: Jen meaning Goody, not MyKurt.
MyKurt: ::::::::::::::::::::shaking head sorrowfully:::::::::::::::::::::::::
SkateJoy: I talked to her earlier...be glad she's not on here and watching the game :)
CASKM: Close to the bottom Kimber
GoodyGa: Thanks, I was confused about that one!
SoulzMate: CAS, it's all for fun. BPhil kind of blew everyone away. :)
CASKM: I saw someone got just one. I thought I was in the running for last with only 5
SoulzMate: Funny......because BPhil did just awful for the Nat's contest. I guess Worlds is more her thing.
Tesia: I only had 5, too, Christie, but I didn't count. :-)
NLathy: Nat's contest worked out beter for me:)
MyKurt: I had zero. <G>
SoulzMate: There was one person who didn't get any of them right. Poor thing!
OnlineHost: Tenn Girls has entered the room.
SoulzMate: Whoops....make that two poor things. <g>
MyKurt: LOL!
MyKurt: Well, I didn't enter the contest................. ;-)
SoulzMate: Jaime always, for some reason, sucks at these contests. It's become a "thing." :D
Tesia: That would explain it, Jen....:-)
CASKM: I did best on Skate America
SoulzMate: This one was one of her best!
Tesia: I'm just not psychic...what can I say? :-)
MyKurt: Kimber, can I ask you something personal (sort of)?
SoulzMate: Nat, did you ever tell anyone what you won? I heard it was cool.
Tesia: What did you win, Nat??
SoulzMate: Sure....you can ask, Jen. :)
CASKM: Maybe I should try to win last place next time :)
MyKurt: How old are you? :-)
SoulzMate: I'm 28 yrs old.
SkateJoy: me too, Kimber :)
MyKurt: Okay. Just curious. :-)
NLathy: I got a Nationals media guide and a copy of Skating magazine. They are cool.
CASKM: Another young one
SoulzMate: Okay....I'm curious....how old did you think I was? :D
BUTTERL311: i figured right---after you said you were 7 while watching dorothy
SoulzMate: When is your b-day, Joy?
NLathy: There may have been something else, but I can't remember.
MyKurt: I thought, early thirties, from the way you "mother" all of us. <G>
SoulzMate: Nat, I've been trying to get my hands on one of those media guides forever. <g>
NLathy: I get a lot of mileage out of the media guide because of the info on past olympics worlds and national
SoulzMate: You were close, then, Jen. :)
NLathy: And I got one in my first contest imagine that:)
MyKurt: <-----------------------getting "kitty kisses" :-)
NLathy: The Worlds contest didn't go so well.
SoulzMate: Nat, you did pretty well in the Worlds Contest, too.
Tesia: How are our contests looking to the Grandstand, Kimber?
NLathy: I only picked one place correctly in ladies and mens
BUTTERL311: arizona has it pretty much wrapped up--if anyone cares
SoulzMate: Jaime, considering that people had no earthly idea what they were competing for, the Grandstand was
SoulzMate: pretty impressed.
NLathy: It's not too hard to pick Ice Dancing Kimber:)
CASKM: I had zero in the mens
Tesia: :-) Cool...
NLathy: I had two in the pairs.
SoulzMate: Ladies and Mens were rough for everyone.
MyKurt: Well folks...... :::::::looking longingly at my bed::::::::::
Tesia: Ladies and Men were...interesting...:-)
Tesia: G'nite, Jenny, talk at ya later...:-)
MyKurt: I'm outta here. :-)
HMSHAPIRO: Bye, Jen!
CASKM: Good night Jen. Let me know when you have info on $$ for TOC
GoodyGa: NIte!
SoulzMate: Nite Jen!
NLathy: I picked Chen Lu to finish 3rd that didn't quite work out.
Tesia: Send me your address so I can send you $$, Jen...:-)
MyKurt: Will do! Nite all! :0(
MyKurt: :-) Sorry. <G>
OnlineHost: MyKurt has left the room.
SoulzMate: Around four or five people picked Tara to win Worlds. I was impressed.
BUTTERL311: people probably picked who they THOUGHT would win versus who they WISHED would win

SoulzMate: If *I* were allowed to enter, I would enter a different entry for all five of my screennames and
Laurel 94: <--Laura, under a new identity ;)
NLathy: Yeah, I also won a program from Nationals for the Nationals contest.
SoulzMate: have a major upset in each event under each screenname to cover my bets. <g>
Tesia: Giving people ideas, Kimber? :-)
NLathy: Arizona won.
SkateJoy: btw, Kimber, My b-day is May 15th :) ( missed that before, sorry )

SoulzMate: Drumming up a little business, Jaime. ;D
Laurel 94: Hi guys
Tesia: Ah...:-)
SoulzMate: You are older than me, Joy. I'm Nov 19. :)
NLathy: Kentucky and Michelle Kwan both went down. Tough year for defending champs.
CASKM: Don't you have enough entries to score as it is Kimber?
SkateJoy: Ahhhhh.....I guess I can't call you "mom" anymore, huh ?? <G>
SoulzMate: CAS, this time was a little scary, because I am so close to giving birth, but it really is fun to do.
SkateJoy: Sorry about KY Laura :(
GoodyGa: ARIZONA won... for all who are interested!
SkateJoy: thanks for keeping us update Goody :)
SkateJoy: updated
Laurel 94: That's okay :) The boys in BLUE still had a good year :)
CASKM: You must have had about 60 for Worlds
SoulzMate: Joy, you can call me "Mom," but I get to call you "Grandma." :D :::ducking:::
SoulzMate: 63, I believe! :D
Laurel 94: LOL!!
SkateJoy: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alright now !!!!!!!!!!!

Laurel 94: But you'll live, Joy ;)
SoulzMate: I'm just glad no teams from New York were involved. I've barely gotten over the Yankee win.
SoulzMate: {{{Joy}}}
CKepp: Kimber, what was with that post insulting Michelle by comparing her style to Nancy's.
SkateJoy: :::::;sigh:::::Yeah, Laura....:)
SkateJoy: :)
SoulzMate: That was a compliment, CK. :D
HMSHAPIRO: None of the NY teams were good enough this year :(
CKepp: Michelle is much better than Nancy. (I thought Michelle was better in 94 too, (smile)
SoulzMate: HM, are you from "DaCity?"
CASKM: I haven't been keeping up with hoops this year so I don't know how far Michigan got
HMSHAPIRO: Just outside
SoulzMate: I'm in Queens, near the LI border.
CKepp: Michigan won the NIT, I think.
NLathy: CKepp you probably liked Tara better than Nancy too in 94<g>
HMSHAPIRO: I'm in Rockland, right across the Hudson River
SoulzMate: LOL......good one, Nat. CK, I can honestly see some similarities between Michelle and Nancy. The
SoulzMate: extension and the attention to detail that they both have.
CKepp: 94= I ranked Tonya, Michelle, Nicole, Elaine, and Tonia K. above Nancy. Tara was still
HMSHAPIRO: My school was crushed in the NIT
SoulzMate: They aren't carbon copies, but there is a similarity.
CKepp: a junior, maybe even novice then.
NLathy: Michelle's spiral is better than Nancy's. Michelle doesn't have to hold her leg.
OnlineHost: GoodyGa has entered the room.
SoulzMate: HM, I'm not familiar with the area, but I've only been here for 11 months. :)
GoodyGa: Hi, sheees back@
Tesia: I think Michelle has more musicality than Nancy.... but
Tesia: there are some stylistic similarities...
SkateJoy: I agree Jaime :)
HMSHAPIRO: I'm north of the city
SoulzMate: CK, unfortanately, NK didn't compete at the 94 Nats, so the world will never know. :)
SkateJoy: They're both have very clean lines....
OnlineHost: GGOm1 has left the room.
SoulzMate: HM, the Hudson is definitely much prettier up there. :)
CKepp: I personally believe Tonya would have won anyway, but I like huge jumps and good spins
CKepp: better than spirals.
HMSHAPIRO: On the other side of Manhattan from LI
OnlineHost: NLathy has left the room.
HMSHAPIRO: Yeah it's very nice here
SoulzMate: Well, except for Midori Ito, I don't think anyone had larger jumps than Tonya.
HMSHAPIRO: Is it still snowing in NY?
SoulzMate: HM, we took the Metro North up to Wappingers Falls last summer...lovely trip.
CASKM: Yea. If Tonya could just land them regularly.
SoulzMate: And the snow has stopped for the moment. :)
HMSHAPIRO: Never been there
HMSHAPIRO: Cool, I have to drive home from work now
SoulzMate: Drive safely :)
HMSHAPIRO: see you all next week
HMSHAPIRO: BYe!
Tesia: G'nite, Heather...:-)
OnlineHost: HMSHAPIRO has left the room.
CASKM: Good night Heather
SkateJoy: Night HM :)
SoulzMate: And I'm monopolizing the conversation.....someone else say something!
Laurel 94: Hey guys, I'm going to get off of here and get to bed :)
CKepp: I remember Nancy taking quite a few falls, too, but Nancy never lost points for them.
Tesia: G'nite, Laura...:-)
SkateJoy: Night Laura !! :)
SoulzMate: NK lost points technically, but always made up for it artistically, CK. :)
Laurel 94: 'Night Jaime and Joy
SoulzMate: Nite Laura!
Laurel 94: G'night Kimber :)
CKepp: Holding your leg up as high as it will go is not artistry.
OnlineHost: Laurel 94 has left the room.
SkateJoy: <G> CK
SoulzMate: CK......I think she had a little bit more than that going for her, but you obviously disagree, so
SoulzMate: what can I say to change your mind? :)
CKepp: I also think she should have been penalized for lack of speed. Even JoAnne Carter was
CKepp: faster.
SoulzMate: I've seen her skate live.....she gets around the rink alright. :)
SoulzMate: Ooooooh, Jaime? Where for art thou?
Tesia: I'm here... almost asleep, but here. Sorry...:-)
Tesia: Been a long day...:-)
SoulzMate: That boring, hey? :D

NLathy: Clear up the damage Kimber.
NLathy: :)
OnlineHost: Dream9924 has left the room.

Tesia: anyone has any topic suggestions, please, post them in
Tesia: the folder or write me!
