  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.

      Actually it was left woman’s ex husband and her bodyguard who paid someone else to hurt right woman’s knee so she can’t compete in figure skating anymore.The paid person used a police baton at least according to Wikipedia but wasn’t able to hurt her bad enough to stop her from participating in future events.

      Really recommend listening to the “you’re wrong about” episode about her

    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.

    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.

  That I still remember both of their names is troubling when I can’t remember shit I actually care about.
