First up, performance ice skating on TV last night. I have now concluded that Aleksei Yagudin is sex on skates¹. I'm so confused as to why so many guys are all "hur hur, ice skating is a girly sport." I mean. Dude, what? You do realise the dorky costumes are purely optional?

In further APEC news: this video (warning: nudity. Also, cops)

Speaking of cops (although not [thankfully?] nudity): your daily WTF, courtesy of scans_daily, which I've been reading lately. The entire "context is for the weak" tag is gold, I'm telling you.

And in the latest adventures of My Mother Works In Mysterious Ways²... why would you even consider the possibility of ironing underwear? Just, why? She actually told me to stretch them before hanging up the laundry so that they wouldn't get creased. Underwear.

I know back in the day we used "ironing jeans" as a metaphor for overdoing it -- for example, lecturing on comma splices or one-inch margins while your students couldn't form coherent paragraphs was just ironing jeans -- maybe "ironing underwear" is hyper-overdoing it. Or just overdoing it with that comforting maternal air....

Of course, I can't think of a time that my mother ever touched an iron that didn't end in smoke and tears.
