Unfortunately, Johnny Weir "couldn't feel his aura," and "was black inside":
He said he couldn't predict how he'd perform in Thursday's long program, because "I could very well wake up and feel horrible, like Nick Nolte's mug shot."
He had a Nick Nolte mug shot kind of performance on Thursday night.
Better luck next Olympics, Johnny. Either way, I get to use this adorable pic, even if I couldn't crop it diagonally.
UPDATE
Johnny's not the only one who can dress like a swan. Here's the canine version of Bjork's famous dress:
UPDATE II:
On the advice of Amy and Scott, I went looking for his Olympic profile video. I found it, and it's a doozy, you know, because that's how he rocks it.
Here's the same video, only with a pink arrow pointing out all the gay things, followed by the actual short program where he skates in his lovely swan costume.
Who says male figure skaters are effeminate?
Hmmm?
Me, that's who.

Posted by: Donnah at February 17, 2006 12:49 AMWell I sure dont want to feel his aura...if you catch my drift..I am sure though, if he found himself cleaning the bathrooms in Raiford (dropping acid with the carebears is illegal) he would find out the real meaning of 'country bumpkins'...
what proggy are you using to crop with Donnah ? And while I am asking questions...have you seen this..

btw..he looks a lot like Nick Nolte in that one photo...
Whine on, Swandog !
Did anyone else see that video montage of “smoldering” looks and “come-hither” poses that NBC put together of him? It certainly was the height of something…dunno what…but I LMAO. Priceless. NBC sure do know how to pander to the queens. Although I’d bet there’s a large segment of prepubescent girls who would just DIE if they knew their darling was a screaming poofter.
Posted by: Amy at February 17, 2006 12:44 PMOwen, I'm using Irfanview, and as to your link, I'm not really a 'foreigners managing our ports' type blogger.
I guess you could say I'm more of a "male figure skater wears swan costume" type blogger.
I didn't see that segment, Amy. Wish I would have. I went in prepared not to like him, but what can I say, he won me over.
Posted by: Donnah at February 17, 2006 12:55 PMOH Donnah..I'm sry..I'll keep my eye out for any stray "male...eww, NOT ! figure skaters in swan costumes" I might run across..don't hold your
breath...
thanks for the chuckle...even if unintended.
Irfanview is a PHENOMENAL little viewer..(and thats not all) I was just curious..some of the other photo viewer/editors have a little 'lasso tool' and you can just draw a circle around your object...by now though you probably wanna dress me up in a swan suit, and draw a circle around ME !
LOL. Naw, I won't lasso ya.
