Derek's Mom Thinks This Guy is Straight

Figure skater Johnny Weir earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team Saturday by winning his third straight U.S. championship.
After his performance in the short program on Thursday Weir described the joys of figure skating:
"Figure skating is an amazing ride. You're feeling like the lowest scum in the pond two hours ago, and go to the prettiest flower in the pond."
He also described the crowd's enjoyment of a rival's program as "a vodka shot, let's-snort-coke kind of thing." In previous seasons he described his costumes as an "icicle on coke" and a "Care Bear on acid."
The U.S. Figure Skating Association wants him to cut out the drug references. But they understand that "Johnny's a flamboyant guy. He makes certain analogies, some of which are more appropriate than others."
I take that to mean, yes, he's the prettiest flower in the pond, but no, his opponent's performance didn't make the crowd want to snort coke.
