I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!

Last time I looked at the this issue, it looked like the models had been lobotomized. Vacuous stares from all.
I have never bought or ogled the SI swimsuit edition.

You should be scoring big points with the wife then. I don't know any men that don't give it at least a perfunctory glance. They should have some equivalent for women so we could decide if the men were all disgustingly anorexic. Then USMS swimmers would be united in their view. We could attempt to engage in activism like Dave's suggests and tell SI to offer only USS/USMS swimmers in their "swimsuit" issue. Didn't Spain just ban all the anorexics?
Jeff..If you want we could do a centrefold of us both. You can wear the "Stars and Stripes" Speedos, and I'll wear the "Union Jack" ones...
An Uncle Sam and John Bull type thing...maybe we can get George to represent our Canadian cousins--he can just sport a Maple leaf!

Uhm, reminder, thread topic = Women are trouble.
Since when did the thread topic ever stop anyone around here?
Men are thread hijackers and lotsa trouble. Infinitely times more greater trouble than women.
I would certainly be happy to purchase the upcoming calendar, swimmer-studs.

Muppet ≠ Woman
therefore Muppet ≠ Trouble. originally posted by Muppet
Uhumm....As one of the resident mathematicians on this site (along with several others like LBJ and Kirk Nelson...and many others too I'm sure).....I just want to say that I find your argument to be both rigorous and airtight Mr. Muppet...har har
Further:
SwimStud ≠ Woman,
Muppet + SwimStud ≠ Woman
Muppet + SwimStud ≠ Trouble
Theory: Muppet + SwimStud > Trouble
Discuss...
As far as the B.B. analysis goes.....well the first and third inequalities listed are debatable ...LOL!! ....and the theory that : Muppet + Swimstud > Trouble should probably read more descriptively as:
Muppet + Swimstud > > Trouble where the symbol > > represents "infinitely times more greater than".

Long ago(1979 I think) USMS actually did a swimsuit calendar. They had a man and a woman for each month going up one age group each month(25-29 for Jan,30-34 for Feb,etc.) Does anyone have one of those still?
Also,common logic error: Women = trouble has no information value regarding men and trouble. Also Women= trouble is an observer dependent assessment.

I think you are trouble with that new signature!
Besides, it's falses. Men often do whatever they please. Men are trouble.

Where I live, in the land of overwhelming career obsession, the first question every asks is "What do you do?" It gets tiresome. Sometimes, I make up answers for sport. Women are trouble, you know.
(S)He-Man, Your avatar has given me an Idea...I think we should do our own PDF version for the USMS forums. We can have a unisex calendar, with volunteers posing in their Fastskins etc...nothing vulgar...just showing off our buff guns etc. I call dibs on Dec though with the SpeedoSanta pic!
:rofl: :rofl:
Sounds like a good Idea. I will wait until right before nationals to take my pic so I can have the full muppet effect with my hair and best Fortress-esque muscle tone.
