Oh, you're so right! Those are medals? :) (I'm watching the men's short programme right now.)

Sorry, I didn't realise I wasn't logged in. I'm the anonymous poster. :)

You're right

... but I see the guys get flowers, too!

Yikes! I hope they look a LOT nicer/better/more interesting up close.

Or, as a few people up our way have noted, Order of the Millstone medallions.

Hey! The Millstone medallions don't look like CDs. Given the name, it was a logical medalion. (She say defensively.)

And where is this poutine source I hear you know of in Manchester, anyway?

Oh, I like the Millstone medallions! And, yes they are not shiny like the current Olympic medals, which is a good thing.

Sorry for not getting back to you on the poutine source sooner. There is a source in Manchester. I can not rate it for you as it is the only place I have had poutine. It was edible. In the right mood I would choose to eat it again but I'm trying to cut down on the fat intake. ;) Chez Vachon is the place, 136 Kelley St., Manchester; 625-9660.

Not exactly a wringing endorsement, but at least you didn't report it as being safe for a low fat diet, which wouldn't have boded well. I'll have to try it, before too long.

In an unrelated issue, have you tried Formosa Pouchon (no. 614)? Multiple pots have convinced me that that one just isn't to my taste, and I'm giving up on it. I've got a couple ounces left, if you want it.

I have not tried Pouchon yet. I Think Tung Ting captured that place in the tea spectrum for me but I'm willing to try Pouchon out.

Oh, this is nothing like Tung Ting. Unlike Tung Ting, though, they had it in stock.

I wonder if they're CD-R or CD-RW. I hope they sprung for the RW.

Thanks! It's not mine I got it from [livejournal.com profile] ancarett...and now I'm crying again (well not really but I *liked* Billy!)

Well, crap, there goes my un-spoilered status...

I apologize, but since it already aired I didn't consider it a spoiler.

Oh, at least they look better and more substantial in closeup.

The close-ups do look kind of nice. But in the first picture, they really do look like cast off CDs.
