...a large group of (large) people file into the YMCA pool area on a Sunday afternoon and fill the bleachers, not to watch me finish my set, but to conduct a baptism.
They stayed away from the lap swimmers.

The thread you're thinking of was called, "you know you're a swimmer when...."
Here's one: in light of all that cosmetic surgery going on (ala "The Swan")
You know you're a swimmer when you too fantasize about implants.....to make your hands and feet bigger!! (sick...):eek:
(I swear, I know I've seen this particular thread before)
deja vu perhaps?

p.s. About those song parodies.....R we ever going to get a sample of them in the poetry thread?
In the city that made implants famous, we don't joke like that! (But that's still pretty funny.)
Speaking of the city of Houston, Did you not like my special posts about Galveston Bay....I wrote them soley for your benefit!.....Of course I was only joking....I grew up in Seabrook ....just north of the Galveston County Line.

I had to buy special degreaser shampoo the last time I worked out in Galveston Bay. I haven't had to use a moisturizer in 6 months! On the bright side, I really slip through the water these days.
We love Galveston here. The BOIs (Born On the Island-ers) keep us smiling and scratching our heads. Incredibly, when we were vacationing there this summer, I found out that Galveston doesn't have a pool for lap swimming. I guess they figure everyone can swim with the sharks and Man-O-Wars so why build a pool.

I KNEW I've seen it somewhere! ...and I realized that this isn't a dupe thread either. ...I read ...From The South and realized that it was MY mistake.
Hey, does Texas count? I'm sure it does... Here in El Paso, you know you're a swimmer when you get a kick out of swimming at Six in the evening (when Daylight Savings Time ends) to find it's pitch dark outside. "WOW! What time is it, Nine? ...Nah, it's only six in the evening, the night is still young!"
You know you're swimming in Galveston Bay when your concept of swimming with flotation devices is being hemmed in on all sides by a pack of Portuguese Manawar!
You duplicate this thread. (I swear, I know I've seen this particular thread before)
Also, you know your DEFINITELY a swimmer when Swimming has effected your song parodies.
