Okay, it's too quiet in here...
Just trying to stir something up. :p
I'm digressing into a ramble....
One thing I mentioned to my teammates while in Italy... Since I started swimming masters, the idea was to get my endurance up.
Instead, my alcohol tolerance had gone waaaay up.
Masters swimmers do know how to party :D
I think I'll save my best performances for the non-travelling regional meets, and save the trips to nationals and similar for partying.
Maybe in few years when I get better, I'll worry about actually performing at a national meet. For now, it's a great vacation.

If ya really want to improve your drinking tolerance - drink at altitude. I'm no where near the drunk I was in college. But 'back in the day.....'
Went to school at 7200'. Lived in a house with a 2 story beer bong (we drilled a hole through the floor for it) - yes parited a 'little bit ;)' . Would take about 1/5 of 40% alcohol to get sloppy drunk. When I'd visit the parents (lived at sea level) trying to get drunk was useless. Could down a 1/5 in a couple hrs. and be just buzzed.
As for swimming & endurance, altitude will also help with that. First week I was practicing at 7200' I've never felt my lungs burn sooooooo much.
Oh yeah controversy ummm... I'm the bestest at everything there is! :p
I heard altitide does that. I rally need ot work on my cardio, maybe I should visit my friends in high places.
Oh, yea, one of the nights in Italy I got drunk with my dad. That was the firts I saw him in 17 years. There was a whole group of us, and my mom and dad joined us. My dad knows 5 milion jokes, and I got to translate them.
Controversy... How can you top the Hypothetical transsexual category I made few weeks ago. Although, I'd prefer the hermaphrodite, I could have a lot of fun with myself that way :P
Hypothetically, of course! :eek:
:D ;) :p
It has been slow in here lately.:(
Here is my attempt at controversy - Breaststrokers rule, freestylers are wimps....
Or is it the other way around????
Or maybe backstrokers are the best????
We know it isn't the butterflyers. They must ba crazy!
How about this one - Coke vs. Pepsi????
McDonalds vs. Burger King???
Mushrooms vs. pepperoni????
Tom vs. Mr. Moose????
Yankees vs. Red Sox - nah, sorry I even brought either of them up!
Smarty Jones vs. Birdstone???
Sprint vs. distance???
Lakers vs. Pistons???
Somebody else please help my come up with a good topic!!!!! I'm trying my best here!!!!:)
Wow, I wanted to put a Bush/Kerry reference in, but DID NOT want to turn this into a serious political discussion. You figured out how to do it!
But this is a serious topic......:rolleyes:
I don't know who would win, but where would they find the Secret Service agents to swim in the lanes next to them with a bullet proof vest, hand gun, dark sunglasses, etc.
Whoever did win, just might lock up my vote!

Neither would win.
Bush would drill for oil in the deep end and all the water would drain out before the race could be completed :)
Ironically, Kerry would have supported Bush in the drilling until the water was all gone. Then would say he never supported that plan and his new plan is to impose an additional tax on all the other swimmers.
Kerry at least showed up for duty. Bush had some trouble with that so I doubt he could find the pool! Maybe Jeb could help him. That's how Dubya "won" the race last time.
