Yo Lysacek, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish...
Yevgeny Plushenko, Russian superstar, lost the Men's Figure Skating gold to Evan Lysacek last week. He's been throwing a fit ever since, including stepping on the gold medal winner's platform during the award ceremony.

Today, he took the whining to another level, and awarded himself the platinum medal.

ETA: Since I submitted this yesterday, Plushenko has denied having anything to do with the medal. Also, I must have linked to the boring article with no comments. Total writeup fail, guys. D:

	I want a Saronite Medal. Five of them, actually, so I can prospect them and maybe get some goddamned chalcedony. /WoW (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Collect eight and you can transmute yourself a Titanium Medal! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oddly enough I have titanium bars coming out my ears. And every kind of blue and green gem except chalcedony. And everyone else on my server seems to have the same problem, as it's going for 15g apiece. Not per stack, per gem. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wow, that's a lot! I think they're going for about 3g each on my realm... I'd have to go check. I also seem to have a lot of Titanium, which I really need to get around to transmuting into Titansteel some day or other. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm just waiting for 3.3 and the removal of the cooldown. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	What the hell is up with chalcedony, anyway? THE COLORS SHOULD ALL BE DROPPING AND BE USED EQUALLY (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know, right? I literally have 40 of everything else and 8 chalcedony, and it seems like every god damned day, the JC quest requires it. I swear, I prospected like 3 stacks of saronite and 4 stacks of cobalt the other day and got a ton of blues and... one freaking chalcedony. It's ridiculous. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Ooh...I've got a stockpile of chalcedony. Time to see if I can make any money on my server! (Reply to this)(Parent)
