#but oddly enough i'm not sure casey really appreciated that one

[batsplat]

kills me that casey just never got to be on any of the podiums where valentino was dressing up and doing stupid shit. like i think we as a society deserved to see that. 'but valentino didn't do that so much anymore in those years' well FIRST OFF one reason for that is you can't go around pre-planning as many celebrations if some surly australian kid keeps beating your ass so maybe casey should have considered that. and secondly valentino did show up to the misano 2009 podium with donkey ears but casey was tragically away with his illness. a missed opportunity. makes me sick to my stomach
