The real tonya Harding...back in the day...would you have?


I'm on the no side of the fence...how about you?

reply

If she was tarted up like a cheap hooker and with Nancy Kerrigan tagging along, then yes!

reply

Fair enough

reply

Of course, however at the time, I had a crush on Oksana Baiul, who is only a few months younger than I.

reply

I couldn't side with either Tonya Harding or Nancy Kerrigan. I didn't like either one of them, but I liked Tonya Harding even less, and still do.

reply

Sooo...I'm gonna put you down as a maybe;)

reply

What does that mean?

reply

LOL...think I was REALLY high when I read/responded...doh!

reply

Well, I feel that I can't take the side of either one of them, but it's clear that Nancy Kerrigan was the real victim, due to the fact that she was physically attacked by one of Tonya's ex-husband's thugs. Tonya was complicit in this whole thing, due to the fact that she co-conspired to obstruct the investigation and prosecution of that bunch of thugs.

reply

Mplo, it was a question about whether or not you'd have had sex with Harding back in the day. Get a grip.

reply

Why don't YOU get a grip, you stupid idiot? First of all, I happen to be a STRAIGHT woman! Secondly, you don't even know me personally, so who are you to make assumptions about who I am, what I do, or what I've done?

reply

So, that's a "maybe".

reply

You're spouting off a whole bunch of BS, BrunoAntony!

reply

Straight chicks hook up with straight chicks all the time. It's called being bi.

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

reply

BrunoAntony: You know absolutely nothing about me, plus I don't even live in the same section of the United States that Tonya Harding does. I live on the East coast, Tonya lives on the West coast. I don't know the bitch from Adam, nor am I the least bit interested, plus I'm a straight woman, plus I don't give a shit what your stupid-assed opinions are. Get the hell off of my case.

reply

So, you're DTF with Nancy Kerrigan?

Fair call, man.

reply

Oh, come on now, BrunoAntony! You're being ridiculous!!
You really think I'd DTF with either Kerrigan or Harding? GTFOMC. Thanks.

reply

Get a grip, woman. He's playing with you, and you are complying in spades.

reply

No! Why don't YOU get a grip, snepts!

Shut your retarded mouth, HarvardBarbie. Here's hoping that Santa gives YOU, and your cohorts on here a life outside of insulting people who openly differ with your opinions.

reply

[deleted]

First of all, I'm a straight woman, and secondly, the last thing I need is a hug from the likes of YOU!

I spewed out vulgarities, because your manner is completely insulting. You deserved the crap that I spouted off at you.

reply

[deleted]

Don't pop a vein on my account either, HarvardBarbie. I should do likewise with you. Fuck yourself.

reply

Yes! I'll get a grip on your skinny shoulders and give you a good hard shake. Maybe a slap in the face as well. You're hysterical, and over Tonya Harding? Is this one of the longest running, dumbest jokes ever?

reply

Why don't YOU get a grip on your own shoulders, shake yourself, and give yourself a good, hard slap on the face, as well. You're the hysterical one, not me.

reply

As soon as you quit having such a hateful, pointless agenda against a has-been ice skater and continue to use a movie you refuse to watch as the platform for it. My goodness ! I don't endlessly harangue over the same subject with any of the intensity you show here. Pick a little more important subject to be so exorcised over.

reply

Oh, come on now, snepts! First of all, imho, one does not have to have seen the movie "I, Tonya", in order to form an opinion of the real life Tonya Harding. Secondly, considering that an awful lot of people, including yourself, seem to use the film "I, Tonya" as a platform to express your sympathy for Tonya Harding, despite the fact that this film clearly fictionalized and white-washed Tonya Harding and put her in far too sympathetic a light, you've got absolutely no right, whatsoever, to condemn me for having a very strong opinion of my own on this whole matter..

reply

HAVE WHAT??
what kinda locker room is this site?

reply

The kind where people answer their own questions...oh and unisex😉

reply

no

reply

You have good taste my Canadian friend😉

reply

Heck ya! In her skating outfit

reply

Maybe if she wore the outfit.

reply

Aside from her face, I always thought she was hot af. She's thick with great thighs and a small waist, lol.

reply

We love some trashy goodness.

reply

Absolutely

reply

Trashy and cheap is what Tonya Harding was and is, especially because she wore skating costumes that exposed both her boobs and her rump.

reply

Actresses do that all the time. No big deal.

reply

It's one thing to do that while one's acting in a play, or even in the movies. It's a whole other thing to expose private parts like the boobs and the rump while in a figure-skating competition.

reply

Good point.

reply

Thanks, Sandman3.

reply

"especially because she wore skating costumes that exposed both her boobs and her rump."

She didn't expose any more than anyone else did at various times, and she didn't even have boobs back then. The same applies to most figure skaters, with Katarina Witt being a notable exception, but even her boobs were small in the grand scheme of things.

They all wore short skirt type things with a gymnastics-type bottom underneath that you could see every time the air-flow lifted their skirts. It's not as if any of them ever wore a thong/G-string.

reply

I disagree with you, MaximRecoil. First of all, Tonya Harding, unlike most of the figure skaters, was not exactly a skinny-minnie, even back in the day. She was short and husky-looking, with a full figure. None of the other figure skaters wore costumes that were as revealing as Tonya Harding's.

reply

"I disagree with you, MaximRecoil. First of all, Tonya Harding, unlike most of the figure skaters, was not exactly a skinny-minnie, even back in the day. She was short and husky-looking"

What does that have to do with anything?

"with a full figure."

She was an A-cup at best.

"None of the other figure skaters wore costumes that were as revealing as Tonya Harding's."

False. I'll repeat:

"They all wore short skirt type things with a gymnastics-type bottom underneath that you could see every time the air-flow lifted their skirts. It's not as if any of them ever wore a thong/G-string."

reply

Sorry, MaximRecoil, but I stand by all that I've said here. Unlike that of Nancy Kerrigan's skating costume, or, for that matter, most of the other figure skaters' costumes, Tonya's skating costumes were hand-made and home-made, with tons of sequins on them.

I also stand by my opinion that Tonya Harding was on the short, husky side, with very blocky muscles. Tonya didn't wear a thong G-String, but most of her costumes were rather close to that. Tonya was no A-cup, either. She very often didn't keep her weight where it should've been, and her weight often went up and down.

reply

"Sorry, MaximRecoil, but I stand by all that I've said here."

You're wrong, and until you can show me an example of Harding wearing something more revealing than anything any of her competitors ever wore, consider your tacit concession on the matter noted.

"Unlike that of Nancy Kerrigan's skating costume, or, for that matter, most of the other figure skaters' costumes, Tonya's skating costumes were hand-made and home-made, with tons of sequins on them."

Her costumes being homemade (which is very impressive if she made them herself) and having "tons of sequins on them" has absolutely nothing to do with your - "especially because she wore skating costumes that exposed both her boobs and her rump." - assertion, and as such, it's a non sequitur. Consider it dismissed out of hand.

"I also stand by my opinion that Tonya Harding was on the short, husky side, with very blocky muscles."

Harding's physique has absolutely nothing to do with your - "especially because she wore skating costumes that exposed both her boobs and her rump." - assertion, and as such, it's a non sequitur. Consider it dismissed out of hand.

"Tonya didn't wear a thong G-String, but most of her costumes were rather close to that."

No, not even close. She wore the same standard gymnastics-style bottom under her skirts that everyone else did.

"Tonya was no A-cup, either."

Yes, she was:

http://evenmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/tonya1.jpg

Look at her chest; there's hardly anything there. It's no surprise, given that nearly all figure skaters, gymnasts, ballerinas, etc., are flat as a board. Also, not that it's relevant, but they all have plenty of sequins on their costumes in that picture. The girl on the left and the girl on the far right both have more sequins on their costumes than Harding does.

"She very often didn't keep her weight where it should've been, and her weight often went up and down."

Your non sequitur is dismissed.

reply

I'll tell you one thing, MaximRecoil:

She was never the skinny-minnie that you thought she was. I stand by what I've said, and I dismiss what you're telling me, also. Over and out.

reply

"She was never the skinny-minnie that you thought she was."

Given that I never said she was a "skinny-minnie", this is a non sequitur from you. Consider it dismissed.

"I stand by what I've said, and I dismiss what you're telling me, also."

Monkey see, monkey do. Also, given that you failed to address anything I said, and you have no further arguments, your tacit concession on the whole matter is noted.

"Over and out."

Your resignation is accepted.

reply

Thanks, MaximRecoil! Kiss off!

reply

Your non sequitur is dismissed, airhead, and your tacit concession on the whole matter remains noted.

:) Hey! Bite me!!

Your non sequitur is dismissed, airhead, and your tacit concession on the whole matter remains noted.

I said what I said, whether you like it or not, MaximRecoil!
