[fuzzybuzzypygmypuff]

My teacher (Mrs. Fisher) is the cousin of Stephanie Victor. I am not kidding!

[Suburp212]

THE most amazing story on E Morton's show. wow. congrats for the gold-medal, too!!!

[cmariefo]

Stephani! You are such an amazing woman. I am so glad to have gotten to know you and grow up knowing you. You are an inspiration to my family. My mother is so lucky to have such a wonderful friend to have met in 1996 after her accident. She had you from the beginning and you have been such an inspiration to her. I thank God for you every single day. Don't change one bit! I will be watching and cheering you on this year just like the last time! Lets get another gold!! Love you! <3

[tscholent]

hey both of you two yoots...go back to NYU library (which is where both of you belong) and let us average shmoks battle it out with two fingers on the keyboard...

[Anonybon]

What an inspiration!

[wallmunky503]

I'll watch the shaun white interview if you can get it.

[dannylerch]

wow

[Dragon0007]

Don't think I could do that... I'd just give up hope!

[Intransitman]

After being crushed by a car & loosing her legs. To get to this point she's a real fighter!

[rizwan1983]

She called the mountain......

Well that makes sense :)

Awesome!

[PariahOlympics]

She has enormous strength of will and character as well...this should prove to be an interesting olympics.

[DarkLifeAngel]

[getsuga97]

i wonder what was edited out....

[xojoe]

"gold" metals are silver, ripe off.

[DefinitelyNotNoah]

They're ripe?

I would love to eat them.

[QuasiEvilScott]

I could watch Elle describing paint dry and find it fascinating - how does she do that?

Not that this was boring - I find the struggle against adversity, and kicking it's ass very compelling. Especially since the Winter Olympics > Summer Olympics.

As an interviewer, she's pretty decent. She's engaging, polite, and she lets the person she's talking to finish everything they have to say before she jumps in to ask anything else.

Why do you find her so incredibly fascinating? Well, you're what's commonly known as an internet "creeper," who will lust after a certain personality for months in his darkened basement, ultimately contact them and then be ordered to keep at least 1000 yards away at all times, or face arrest and/or prison time.

@johnnytastetest

Hm. You confuse me. Is it that you saw my genuine compliment to her skills and person as a threat to your own fantasies? Or did you seriously presume that my disposition towards the captivating host is somehow laced with anything other than admiration?

Either you cannot fathom someone being a fan without being obsessed, or are projecting your own desires onto me, then chastising them in order self-flagellate whilst protecting her (errantly) from yourself.

"12 minutes ago" reads the note above my last comment. Which makes me wonder whether you needed each of those twelve minutes to make your response sound as gay as you did? Or maybe you can fire off that bullshit much faster?

Let me see...yes, your complimenting her is a threat to my own fantasies. No, wait -- I'm presuming that your comment was "laced" with something other than admiration. Yes. That's the one. Thanks for the internet psychoanalysis, chump! Ha ha ha!!

[QuasiEvilScott]

@johnnytastetest

While I enjoy a great youtube comment showdown like anyone else - and clearly value them as some sort of battle royale in which the fate of the universe may well hang in the balance, I must admit defeat here. Obviously my aspirations to be kind to someone were flawed. Let me apologize TO YOU for complimenting HER. Clearly I'll run all comments by you first, so you can check them for "creeper" behavior. Thanks for defending the virtues of Internet women.

[johnnytastetest]

Thanks, Scott! I really appreciate you conceding. This is good news! If this were a late 18th century "pistols at dawn" scenario, you'd have only been shot in the arm or something!

I accept your apology.

But seriously, I think the reason I zeroed in on you like that wasn't because of the compliment, but because you clearly make a real effort to use "fancy talk." Don't do that. People have an eye for pretentiousness. I'm not an enemy, Scott. I'm a friend.

Oh...sorry about the arm.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Yes! Quite right! It is nothing short of pretension to use language to express one's self in a manner one finds comfortable. I should indeed have known better than to speak my mind using the words I choose. I shall endeavor to speak and type in a manner which makes others comfortable, rather than best elucidating my mind through the careful articulation with which I have become accustomed.

Thank you for protecting people from the dangerous vocabulary and grammar I might have used.

Ha ha! Douche.
