I've been watching Dick Button comment on figure skating forever.

Posted by CovingtonCat Feb 15 '10, 13:12

I know he won a couple Olympics but didn't know he was the youngest male skater to win Olympic gold, the first to complete a double axel in competition, the first to do a triple loop in competition, the only American to win the European men's title (they stopped allowing non-Euros to compete after he won), invented the flying camel, and at 80 years old he makes Bob Costas look like a painted mummy.

I would be more impressed if not for that incident in Central Park.

Responses:

what do you have against him for gettting attacked in Central Park? -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 13:24 6
- Um, the dirty old man cruising bit? - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 13:30 5
  - No one deserves that. Who cares how old he is if he's cruising as long as he's not hurting anyone? -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 13:34 4
    - You're right. No one deserves to be bashed for being gay. - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 13:42 3
      - He wasn't that old (49) when it happened. And what exactly, is your experience with outdoor cruising? - Diva Feb 15, 13:49 2
        
        I'll just say you might not enjoy hiking parts of the Blue Hills off Chickatawbut Rd. -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 13:54 1

plus, he's Trish's favorite announcer in the whole wide world of sports -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 13:13 3
- I thought that was Bob Costas? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 15, 13:20 2
  - One time when I was channel surfing and landed on Bob, I thought he was Mark Hamill. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 13:22
  - oh that's right. she must be in announcer heaven watching the Olympics -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 13:21
