I ‘m watching the Ice Dancing finals. WHAT the HECK is UP with that Italian pair? They were in first place before last night’s skate — and then they fell. Walked off the ice fuming. Sat in the kiss and cry, she fuming, plunging daggers in him with her eyes, he not even looking at her, looking COMPLETELY the other way.
It was massively immature and entertaining.
So tonight, here they are, getting ready to skate — (I think they’re now in 6th place or something) — and they made such a big ol’ DEAL about coming out of retirement to skate in the Olympics in their home country — but now their home country AND the whole freakin’ world gets to witness them being the absolute biggest BABIES I’ve ever seen. The cameras are following them backstage as they prepare to skate and they are literally ignoring each other — both having their little hissy pissy fits — STILL!! They walk past one another as if they are complete strangers and not partners who’ve struggled and fallen and competed and won and lost TOGETHER for so long. It’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.
(And I can’t look away!!!)
But someday, when they see this footage, they will be embarrassed, as they rightly should be. That is, if they ever MATURE at all, they will be embarrassed.
I wish I could be like some old-timey Gramma and shake my head and wag my finger and warble “SHAME ON YOU! SHHHAME!!!”
Wait. Who says I can’t??
“SHAME ON YOU!! SHHHAME!!!”
They’re up next to skate.
I say this:
If you guys win, Dick Button gets to SPANK you.
I saw it the night they fell and you’re absolutley right, what a bunch o’ babies! She was the worst. What happened on Monday? I missed it, who won?
Oh, the Russians, of course!! Our pair was GREAT and got the silver. The Pissy Pants Pair got bupkis, NUTTIN’!!
Good.
