But can it ice skate uphill?

upvote for trying to ice skate uphill



BWHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yep, I was facepalming over that line. Reminds me of when I was about 10 in Calgary we used to go ice-skating on the Glenmore Resevoir. One dude wanted to go skating with his kid but wasn't sure if the ice was safe enough so he drove his car, himself, and his kid onto the ice to test it. The good news is it was safe enough for skating.

This gotta be like jumping over five top hats on ice skates.

This is so cool! But the music makes it feel soooo much like ice-skating... turned off and put some Queen "Bicycle Race" on or "Fat Bottom Girls"

Do people realize the whole "if a good guy owns a gun" goes both ways? I love this argument because it's so one sided and utterly blind. I'd like to call it the "dumbass argument".

Let's think for a moment: kids looking for friend suddenly have a man open fire on them, so they all pull out their firearms to protect themselves from the raving lunatic old man who opened fire on them first. Old man is dead, riddled with dozens of bullets. Good guys win. Oh . . . wait. That's not what happened. The good guys didn't have a gun. Or was the old man a good guy? I'm confused now. Who's the good guy?

We had something similar here in Florida where a man was going door to door to sell lobster. Homeowner shot him in the head as he walked away, kept shooting him, and went to reload while an officer was trying to arrest him.

The real issue is the fact this man, and the man in my example, simply thought owning a gun meant they could shoot and kill someone for almost a pathetic reason. Both were "defending my home" against the evils of lobsters and ice skating. I believe this is the movie line of "shoot first, ask questions later." This is what is referring to as the "gun culture."

Yeah, guns (unless it's a colt) don't kill people, people with guns kill people. But there's an old mentality (that's pretty much dead now) that using a gun was cheating. That using a gun wasn't personal, so they resorted to swords and fists. Now, it's so easy to kill a person that it's almost impersonal just to shoot at some brown kid who's "invading" your home by showing up in a car, knocking on the door politely, and asking "Dónde está Paul?"

So anyway, now that we're arguing on the internet . . . .

To be fair, "Hello, let's go ice skating" in Mexican does sound an awful lot like, "We will burn your house down, old man!" with the right intonation.

They don't do that because that wouldn't really give them that much points in the competitions, though I've seen some do them in exhibitions. Gymnastics is a very old fashioned and rigid art form, there's not a whole lot of creativity involved. Just like ice skating exhibitions are often more impressive than actual championship competitions, because they're not prohibited from doing flips etc.

Personally that's the main thing that I dislike about watching gymnastics, the overemphasized rigidity. Of course it's better for judging, but I like it more when they kinda just jam around and loosen up a bit, it's more aesthetically pleasing somehow.

EDIT: This guy is a good example of what they can do in practice etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6uLi4r5G0 Handspring, backflip, handspring, double backflip (with a straight body, much harder), backflip, backflip, handspring and finally a double backflip with a 360 in the first one. So yeah, nothing new here, but not bad either.

Thanks Boise_Lib, the reason I couldn't change it when I posted it was because I was probationary. The guide you linked to notes that you have to be a bronze star member to modify the post.
I don't see a P by my name anymore though so I think this post actually got sifted! Woohoo!

The Handmaid's Tale. Oryx and Crake. She writes bleak dark novels that extrapolate into the future. Handmaid imagines an extremely religiously conservative world where some women are wives and some are baby-making machines and the men are all... yuck. Oryx imagines a bleak end to our genetic tinkering.

So this woman on ice skates, giving hockey tips? It is hysterical. Trust me. Right up there with Germaine doing the same.

Hmm, I'm an Aussie who doesn't know much about Canada, Margaret Atwood, poetry or ice hockey - so it's a tough ask. But I imagined her as Germaine Greer, and gave you a vote.

Somebody's been strolling through my p queue! Thanks for the visit and the upvotes. My Margaret Atwood didn't move you, huh? I thought that one was a little gem, even though it got no love....

But then I am a Margaret Atwood Fan. Maybe my love is specific to knowing her writing. Or maybe it's just not that good a vid!
