Let me explain the situation for those who don’t know:
Once, there was this girl who
Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion
And when she finally made it,
She saw
Some other girl who was better
And so she hired some guy to club her in the knee cap.
Mmm
Mmm
But in Weird Al
Mmm
👏 🌹 Bravo
How does this story end? I mean, did the girl that swore to be a skating champion achieved her dreams⛸️✨️♥️?
There’s a movie about it starring Margot Robbie called “I, Tonya”
Ah, Usenet…
And who can forget fnord and plonk?
blargle slaps RegularJoe around a bit with a large trout
Someone explain 🫤
Girl on the left got her boyfriend to break the girl on the right’s kneecaps with a metal pipe
Really recommend listening to the “you’re wrong about” episode about her
I won’t make any claims as to accuracy but I did enjoy the movie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Tonya
it ony a movie!
Context?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonya_Harding
Specifically, see the section titled “Assault of Nancy Kerrigan and legal proceedings”
It was a pretty huge deal at the time, but has since faded.
Whhhhhyyyy?!
WWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY!?!
That’s my phone’s notification sound!
It was the 1990s, this was one of the biggest shocks of the decade.
Also alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb was a pretty common name for, uh, shitposting newsgroups. Whatever we called shitposting back then, I can’t remember.
alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die
Watch the movie I Tonya, a great biopic about the whole incident
That I still remember both of their names is troubling when I can’t remember shit I actually care about.

I love when I get halfway through an old usenet thread before I realise the date the messages were posted
I’m a sadist, I’m addicted to this heroin,
You’re Tonya Harding and I’m your Nancy Kerrigan!
