Prior to, oh, about a week ago, posters were labeled according to some dumb skills. Like, a new poster would be a forward roll, a long-time poster would be a Yurchenko (or 'chenko, as Princess motherfucking Payson would say.) Pretty basic, I don't need to spell it out for you.
But recently, posters were given the option to create their own user titles, and I have to admit, the results have been pretty hilarious.

Maybe it's because most of them are MIOBI references. Maybe it's because they're just fucking funny. All that matters is that sometimes gym fans can be unique and creative, when given the chance to be so.
Have any suggestions for more user titles? Comment away.
I'm really honored to be featured on your blog.

big betty hahah. MIOBI is over but i hope to still see you doing your hilarious blogs about actual gymnastics, especially as we lead up to the olympics!
ReplyDelete@Catherine I believe there is someone whose "skill" is Jan!

ReplyDeleteI'm getting a bit bored of Colleen Evans... Her gymnastics is like Patteron's and Ross's... I really wish I claimed "Laid out Jordan" before Rachael...

ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself!
I have tried repeatedly to join IG, but it always gives the message out that I have been banned for all time for no reason. This happens to anyone who tries to register a new account. What is going on?
ReplyDeleteHmm...yes, this has happened to me a number of times when I've tried to register. I even wrote a message to the administrators but received no reply back. Funnily enough, my sister signed up recently and had no trouble whatsoever.
