    If there is something to kill me over, then that means you do.

    Hey everybody! Bien wears tights!

    It would be cool if skate/snowboarding were married with ice skating, with some sort of propelled snowboard capable of doing tricks on ice.

    So you don't pose in front of the mirror in your tights?

    I did figure skating until I was 13, and I never wore tights!!

    I used to be able to do a salchow, but now I'm fat and unfit.

    After alpine skiing, I almost can't watch figure skating without falling asleep.

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
