Are you expecting to touch 2 walls or 3? :) :bolt: Hey now, I touched 3 walls... I just had to scull backwards for one of them.

Will this be a shave and taper meet for you? My 100 free vs your 100 fly might be close if you are not tapered. Shaved I would expect to be 52 something.Are you expecting to touch 2 walls or 3? :) :bolt:

I'm gonna hafta see the event order before I decide what events I will swim. I think we voted on the order at the convention last year, but my memory is hazy. Event order for Nationals is in the rule book out to 2015 or so. Will this be a shave and taper meet for you? My 100 free vs your 100 fly might be close if you are not tapered. Shaved I would expect to be 52 something.

Avatar/signature battles are popular for forums these days. Winner gives the loser an avatar they have to use for a couple weeks or however long. Who wants to gridge?! I could see my 100 Fly vs. your 100 *** as close. :applaud:

i haven't decided what I will swim next season yet but if I overlap with Q I plan to beat him badly, to the point of Strawberry Shortcake humiliation.

if I train aggresively Right, like THAT is going to happen! (Sorry, felt the need for some trash talk...it is a gridge thread, after all...)

Straight up 200 free! Can we get a repeat? And the stakes are??????

No, Chris, this is the best gridge ever: For any gridge Aquageek, PWolf, (or anybody else who hates my font) loses, they have to use this font (Comis Sans MS 3 pt. blue) for one month and post on at least one thread every single day. And, they have to use Smilies in every post! :worms: :bolt: Sorry, some things man is not meant to see.

Let's do both. I am driving up so I will provide all gridge materials. Works for me. Your house is probably fully stocked with gridge materials.

Wow, I totally got out gridge-bet on my own gridge. Although I really like Speedo's idea, I think Geek's is more realistic since the lunchbox is steel and not actually mine. Plus, temporary tattoos pack really well compared to steel lunch boxes.

Bah, there's got to be some skin in the game. Something, a beer at least. Fine. The 200 is on Friday, the 50 is on Saturday. The winner of the 200 provides the loser a pretty cap to wear for the 50.

And the stakes are?????? Just bragging rights. 2010 was a great trash talking year but this year has been kinda flat.

Additional stipulation: no matter who wins or loses, pictures and/or YouTube videos of the lunchbox usage and applied tattoos must be posted to this thread. :cheerleader:

For the loser's subsequent event, they will walk up behind the blocks, open the Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox they have with them, remove their goggles and cap, and carefully place the box out of the way during their event. Do in reverse when finished. I'm sure geek will want in on this. Loser also has to wear two temporary kids Strawberry Shortcake tattoos on each pec. I will supply. www.amazon.com/.../ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1
