Yes! He’s skating tonight!
And we think the show might be sold out!
There was a tweet that said so! But we’re not really sure!
So we tried to get four tickets and couldn’t!
But we could get one! So maybe there’s only one left!
In any case, it’s kinda too late to throw the kids in the car
and drive 1,200 miles to San Antonio by tonight
although don’t think for a minute that that didn’t cross my mind,
but it’s OK because this show will be broadcast nationally
on Fox next Sunday, December 19, at 4:30 EST!
(or whenever the NFL game preceding it ends ...)
SWTS Haiku II: This Time It’s Personal
(I was so torn over whether to go with this
or SWTS Haiku II: Electric Boogaloo ...)
Imma leave this here
Vile stench; the blue sparrow falls [We interrupt this haiku to bring you an important message from our sponsor:
OK, three things:
(1) Bethenny: YOU made it personal when he critiqued your SKATING and you snarked about his perceived SEXUALITY.
“Bethenny joked, ‘I am the woman Johnny Weir wants to be and he clearly has an issue with that.’”
That’s personal.
Oh, and when you said, “F*ck Johnny Weir” on national television.
Your fans have also been working industriously to make it really personal, and you’ve done nothing to discourage them. Instead you tweet-cooed, “Your comments are so sweet.”
(2) If you corner someone where you think the cameras can’t see you (though I hope to Sweet Weirsus that Butch and Grams were filming this from every angle like Fellini on crack) just to snarl at him, “I’m not taking this personally!” you’ve pretty much proven that you are.
(3) So here are some tips to help you respond with professionalism to a professional critique from a professional in a sport or discipline where he or she is an expert and you’re ... not:
Do say: “Thank you. I really appreciate your insights.”
Don’t say: “F*ck you.” Or, “I’ll get through you with a blade up your ass.” Or, “I will slap [that judge] upside her head.” Or, “I don’t care what [they] think.”
We now rejoin our haiku already in progress.]
Johnny saves the day
Now we can really enjoy these bonus SWTS .gifs from Jenn Kittler (thank you, Jenn!):
Uncle Dick is the TSA X-ray machine of skating.
I love that they’re all having such a good time!

Johnny e-l-o-n-g-a-t-e-s .... with Laurie Ann’s help.
And also savor this article. Including this part: Weir said: “I didn’t know any of these celebrities except for Jonny. [oh SNAP! Bethenny, you’re not even on his radar.] I didn’t care if they were famous or not. I just try to judge everyone fairly.”
And especially this part: “Bethenny Frankel--likely the person going home next week--scored a 26.” Holy Mother of Gaga, hear our LOL.
And now that we’re all in a much better mood, one final note: The kids and I are throwing ourselves in the car to try to make it to Flint this weekend! (barring sudden blizzards). Where apparently, if we don’t skid off the road on a patch of notorious Midwestern black ice and I don’t have a stroke over whatever Bethenny tweets next, we shall see Johnny skate two programs AND sing “Dirty Love”!
Giddy blogs to immediately follow the show. :D :D :D :D
