[Tara Lipinski: She really upset the applecart in the short program...Can she seize the day, Johnny?]
She upset the applecart? What is that?
[Tara Lipinski: Never heard it before?]
Nope.
[Tara: Terry?]
[Terry Gannon: A "rainbow and sparrows" guy never heard of that? That's a saying, John. Get with it.]
Triple applecart, double applecart, double applecart. Triple lutz, double toe loop, double loop. Shake it up, Satoko-san.
--NBC, World Figure Skating Championship 2015, ladies free skate, broadcast March 28, 2015

Johnny Weir
Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.
