Happy Anniversary!

Hey Xanboni fans! It's my third anniversary and I have a job for you!

Take a look back through the archives and post a link to your favorite post in the comments. In a couple of weeks, (when it looks like it's petered out) I'll do a random.org thing on the comments and send the winner a Xanboni water bottle!

Thanks for a great three years!

Why do figure skaters wear suspenders?

There were so many skaters at Worlds in suspenders this year that it just SCREAMED for a contest.  Here's what my tweeps came up with:

A: so you can hang them up neatly when they have finished skating

A: Next to Olympic Gold, every skater covets a Nick Verreos skating fashion mention. Suspenders give you that 'edge'.

LePigeonBercy:
A: To increase their chance of having a SportsCenter worthy costume malfunction. ;-)

MalLind1982:
A: to hold up their pants

And my own answer:
A: To hold up their scores

And the winner:

A:  to cover nipple piercings
Thank you for not being afraid to really go out there. Also for destroying my innocence. I hope children, and the skater's mothers, aren't reading this. (But I will NEVER look at Jeremy Abbott the same way ever again.) Ann, send your mailing information to coachxan@xanboni.com.

Bonus prize for the first commenter to correctly list ALL of the contestants in all four disciplines at Worlds who wore suspenders. Deadline is now May 1, since I'm not getting any entries!
