They're into the costumes.
(Thanks to Drew Harchick, who notes that this is Yahoo's most-emailed picture)

Yikes.

Yeah, there was a lot of cheekage due to the rampant thongage as well.
Get me another beer.
Posted by: mudstuffin | February 23, 2006 at 03:43 PM
Whoops. I think I just admitted to watching ice dancing.
Posted by: mudstuffin | February 23, 2006 at 03:44 PM
Restive ramparts.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | February 23, 2006 at 03:45 PM
Wingbipeekaboo, indeed.

I'll take my change in dimes and nipples, please... uh, I mean, nickels.
Posted by: Mr. Completely | February 23, 2006 at 03:50 PM
Is it my eyes, my imagination, my wishful thinking, or is there a bit of pink showing on the "top" rampart?
Posted by: CoastRaven | February 23, 2006 at 03:50 PM
...I get the feeling Mr Blog is really missing Mrs Blog today.
I mean, he posted the Beckham-thing before Judi even got a chance to, and now he's showing us nipples?
Poor Dave! HURRY HOME, MRS BLOG!

Looks like there's a nip in the air over in Torino...
Aw, c'mon, somebody had to say it.
Posted by: Lairbo | February 23, 2006 at 03:52 PM
mud: I noticed the cheekage, too. Haven't seen that much since Katarina Witt was on the ice. I think they changed the costume rules after her, butt apparently the rules don't apply to ice dancing.
Oh, pass the wine, pleeze.
Posted by: Suzy Q | February 23, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Good thing the ice is cold, or that costume might have slipped all the way off.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | February 23, 2006 at 03:54 PM
A nip-tacular performance!
*snork* at Laibo. Yeah, it had to be said...
Posted by: Suzy Q | February 23, 2006 at 03:56 PM
just a little peek of aureole, and all the guys go nuts...
Posted by: anonymous | February 23, 2006 at 03:59 PM
What a slutskaya.

"and now he'll perform a lift with a double t*ts...i mean twist"
Posted by: insomniac | February 23, 2006 at 04:00 PM
Not goin nuts... just wanted to be sure before I call the FCC.

I clicked on the related link that had this key quote at the story's end:
"We're good," Meuli said. "It was fantastic seeing the two Schoch brothers on the podium. It made me feel so hot today."
Posted by: MOTW | February 23, 2006 at 04:01 PM
Is it just me, or would ice dancing be vastly improved if they let the crowd throw squids at the performers?
Then again, what activity wouldn't be improved by that?
*brushing teeth*
"Heads up, hon!"
*gets hit in head with squid*
"What da herr!?" (speech obscured by toothbrush)
"Boo-yah! I give you an 8!"
Posted by: Christobol | February 23, 2006 at 04:09 PM
She has no right hand. She has a beige tentacle- appendage. They are doping the skaters with octopus DNA.
Posted by: Lileks | February 23, 2006 at 04:11 PM
I would have expected this from Slutskaya...
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 04:13 PM
*looks at photo again*
*snorks heartily @ Lileks!*
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | February 23, 2006 at 04:13 PM
And they didn't even give them a medal for her efforts! Sure that display is worth something.
Posted by: me | February 23, 2006 at 04:16 PM
"They're into the costumes."
Well, they're just BAREly in...
Posted by: Mad Soapboxer | February 23, 2006 at 04:22 PM
Where's Janet Jackson when you need her?
Posted by: Kat | February 23, 2006 at 04:27 PM
NBC= Nothing But Cleavage
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 04:31 PM
Lileks! We are honored, sir.
Posted by: Dave | February 23, 2006 at 04:34 PM
Boobie.
See, now HER breastesses are small and firm, so they stay in the cup. MY cups runneth over, so if a guy bent ME back like that, I'd suffocate....
TMI?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 23, 2006 at 04:37 PM
"Nipples Barely Covered"?
"Nearly Bared Chest"?
"Normally Boring Contests are Not Being Censored"?
Posted by: insomniac | February 23, 2006 at 04:39 PM
Wow. Nipplage *and* James Lileks both in the same day. Now I need a beer.
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | February 23, 2006 at 04:42 PM
So, Dave, it appears that flashing a nipple will entice other famous authors to come 'round here. Good job!
PS: Over on the other thread, we're still waiting for a pic of Dave Beckham's, ahem, "manliness" at attention.
Posted by: Suzy Q | February 23, 2006 at 04:43 PM
Ratings make people do the darndest things.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 04:44 PM
This just brings back memories of the Seinfled 'Nip' episode. And I'm giggling almost as much now as I was when I first saw it.
Posted by: KOW | February 23, 2006 at 04:46 PM
("Killer Queen")
She made straight judges quiver before her face was on the Net.
She showed off her medallions barely dressed like Marie Antoinette!
Building her ramparts
Showing they're not sham parts
But there's no time for me
To finish up my rhyme!
Posted by: insomniac | February 23, 2006 at 04:48 PM
*snork* at everyone!
Hey Lileks, I read The Bleat every day - very cool, and so is The Quirk.
/end kissing up in hopes of a reply
And to Punkin Poo - me too, sweetie! :)
Posted by: Eleanor | February 23, 2006 at 04:49 PM
what other famous authors? anonymous?
Posted by: BEtsi | February 23, 2006 at 05:09 PM
Oh, I saw this. Judges only gave it one point.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 23, 2006 at 05:10 PM
Nah, this one is the most emailed (mild cardiac warning on link)
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | February 23, 2006 at 05:19 PM
I am so sorry for my ignorance but who's Mr. Lileks? and we are we honored??
Posted by: julietine | February 23, 2006 at 05:27 PM
Ooh! My BOOBIE is right next to DAVE!!!!!
(see several posts up)
*swoons*
Oh, and Eleanor - how they hangin'?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 23, 2006 at 05:27 PM
julietine-He's a columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. You'll get lots if you google him.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 23, 2006 at 05:35 PM
lisa: snork (for your earlier one, not the lileks directional)

Thank you judi!
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 23, 2006 at 05:41 PM
Punkin poo - Yes.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 23, 2006 at 05:46 PM
Punkin Poo - please don't smother Dave.
and *snork* at Lisa for her 'one point.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 05:50 PM
shhhh....girls. The guys are lurking, waiting for us to continue our discussion on our pendulous parts.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 05:51 PM
Lileks- They also seem to be growing women out of men. Or maybe they are splitting into two creatures. Ameobic ice skating. Showing a little flaggelete are we?
Posted by: Alfred | February 23, 2006 at 05:55 PM
Annie-How 'bout we tease them by only discussing our perky parts. *hee hee*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 23, 2006 at 06:14 PM
It only got 4 out of 5 stars for a rating - I guess that means the ratio of viewers is 4 guys/lesbians to each hetero gal.
Posted by: Lmd33 | February 23, 2006 at 06:55 PM
Ahh, my favorite subject, all is right with the world.
Hey its only fair, you were just discussing men's pendulous parts, or I guess it wasn't that pendulous.
Posted by: Prairie Dog | February 23, 2006 at 06:58 PM
Lisa - if that's the case, well, if you can't say anything nice....sigh.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 08:03 PM
Annie-Okay, how about voluptuous parts?
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 23, 2006 at 08:18 PM
Voluptuous? Oh, yeah, well, sure! Of course!
But I left them at home today. I think they're somewhere in the garage.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2006 at 08:36 PM
One night Jay Leno was talking about Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, and he said that she "popped out." He then went on to comment that 20 something women "pop out," by the 40's they "fall out," and by the 60's they "drop out."
Posted by: daisymae | February 23, 2006 at 09:38 PM
OK, I don't usually watch ice dancing, but this just the type of thing that might get me to start.
The other thing would be if they gave 'em all hockey sticks, and turned 'em all loose on the ice at the same time
Posted by: TCK | February 23, 2006 at 09:47 PM
costume designed by Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake
Posted by: sparrow | February 23, 2006 at 10:00 PM
OK, how about this picture?
Posted by: TCK | February 23, 2006 at 10:48 PM
... um ... costumes?
Whut costumes?
Posted by: U.O | February 23, 2006 at 11:35 PM
Ladies, we're not waiting for DISCUSSION about your pendulous, perky or voluptuous ramparts, we're waiting for the PHOTOS! [foot tapping -- WELL?] Besides, who knows if those of you who CLAIM to be women of the female pursuasion really ARE, and those who claim to be guys of the male (not mail) sort really are. All of that is so easily faked on the 'net (then there's surgery...). Of course, we know that you can easily fake the photos too, but what the heck, rampart photos are rampart photos!
Posted by: Mad SoapBoxer | February 24, 2006 at 12:40 AM
Hockey sticks? How about slathering them with Crisco?
Posted by: Hanna | February 24, 2006 at 12:48 AM
I say we watch the ice skaters fight to the death...
Actually I am quite happy with Ice Skating. When I was younger I really enjoyed watching Gymnastics. Now I can watch Ice skating and dream of dating the girls...
Posted by: Alfred | February 24, 2006 at 12:58 AM
Hanna - it's really hard to hold on to hockey sticks once you slather them with Crisco. And I'm not sure how this would be worth watching. Judging from your taste in entertainment, are you perhaps Canadian?
