so that might have something to do with his leaning the other way.

...I meant that as in leaning towards his moms language rather than pops.

ikram - that's a stupid gutless comment. have you ever competed in anything, work or sport? heck, the only way i can explain this is if you work for the government.

Sandhu is notoriously inconsistant, though.

I saw a documentary on the top canadian skaters on the CBC last week, Sandhu's home life was anything but a barrel of laughs and it seemed like the source of it was his Punjabi dad (who walked out on the family)... so that might have something to do with his leaning the other way.

He's really arrogant and all that, but you can't help but root for him. Interesting, troubled character.

no buddy … flying solo now … first ikram started some rumor about sandhu’s sexuality till it became the biggest thing on this board … and i defer to you guys in how you moderate this … but let me put it this way, sandhu’s wearing my team’s colors… i’m going not going to let anyone slag him without taking a stance… there you have it. ’nuff said.

I don’t think choking in the Olympics = dead babies. Wow, you must be dating one hell of an athlete

Or by assuming Ikram has a sense of humor.

ok the gov’t bit was out of line – personal bad experiences with unionized gov’t employees- control and yak but no accountability – but i was out of line – apologies to govt service employees out there.
i assume the dig on humor was on me… yup… funny i did purge this next line before posting – no i dont have a sense of humor on this… i wouldnt laugh at dead baby or fat jokes either – would you?

OK. It's settled. Sandhu is Italian. I he had won, he'd be Desi, but the choking loser-boy can go back to spaghetti-eating.

Thanx for the pics, Neha!!

so pretty. so very pretty pretty pretty...

sigh

That being said, the commentators set aside the insipid-bitchy comments they usually deliver and had some sharp critiques for him. Apparetnly he's the one guy Plushenko (eventual gold medallist) feared the most, and his performance at the Olympics was simply a case of not enough practice. Of all the times to ignore those study-hard, nose-to-the-grindstone desi genes!! fer shame... too much dolce vita for little Emmanuel, apparently.

In any case, I was rooting for the fagadocious Johnny Weir. How totally awesome is that kid!?! He's my new imaginary best friend.

The racial draft can be so fickle.

Amitabh, I’m just speaking the truth, bro. Good to see you here anyway — I hope my relatively relaxed and dubiously-humorous manner here on SM (compared to my more serious tone when I used to post on Sikhnet) hasn’t been too much of a shock for you
