Facepalming is never so much fun than when you make someone do it in real life, though. I managed to scare a friendly and good-natured bloke who's main vice was a liking for old-school punk rock by playing him a lounge singer version of a Dead Kennedys song. The reaction was the sort of priceless that belongs in a credit card advertisement.

I'm not really all that surprised that it was figure skating, of all the possible sports, that went that way, though: isn't that the sport that Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding were involved with?
