Ok, if this were as the swimming world turns the soap opera we are becoming what roles would we all play? (It's been a long day at work and I am so ready for it to be Friday!)
I'll get the ball rolling ...
Dima and his new girl take on the Luke and Laura role of the 80's (never saw it, but did hear about it)
Ande, is the wise cop or wise pub owner that is always giving everyone advice.
Kyra, is the sweet and innocent girl that everyone adores.
Kari and I apparently are the town drunks! :)

I still don't think any one is as cool as Gilligan. I mean where would the show be without him. It wouldn't have a catchy name any more. "The Really Smart Professor's Island," just doesn't work as well. Face it, without Gilligan the show would be sunk (pun intended).
Yeah, I think the professor was fully capable of fixing the boat (hello coconut radio!) but was so entranced by Ginger's obvious charm and sex appeal that he figured why fix the boat, the set-up I have right now is perfect! I got this mega hot chick that I couldn't get anywhere near back home and my competition is an old fat guy and a scrany little guy ... hmmm ... yeah, I'll just tell everyone the boat can't be fixed (cue evil laugh)
Kyra, you are fabulous! It's the Real Gilligan's Island (aren't they doing that on some channel). There are challenges (all swimming related of course) and a winner that gets: a Speedo sponsorship contract - including unlimited practice suits and FSII's, goggles, caps, meet expenses, incentives, the best coaching in the world, training trips, and any and all other related costs that might possible improve your swimming; a house on the ocean (b/c all swimmers should live on the Ocean, coast and state of your choice), and the swimmer of your choice as you "roommate" ;)
They are or at least were doing a real Gilligan's Island. Never saw it though. I love the idea of the Speedo contract....and the swimmer of choice being a "roommate." So what's say we e-mail Speedo executives today and start talking numbers.
I saw this on the cover of Soap Opera Weekly at the grocery store and it was just to funny to not share I thought. This was the headline and I quote:
"SMACKDOWN: Y&R DIVAS DUKE IT OUT"
Do you people have any idea how long it took me to read all the posts to get caught up?! I have a life you know... :p
I loved the Extreme Stroke Makeover-
Swimmer instead of Survivor- you could combine that with the Smackdown and Fear Factor: you have people eat something totally disgusting (well for my husband it would just be mayonaisse!) and then swim a distance; whoever did it first wins :)
Look out Mark Burnett, we're going into production!
Actually, not too disgusting or humiliating, but wouldn't it be fun to do something for USMS swimmers?

You need to do what I do. Get up an extra 1/2 hour early every day to catch up! That's sick..... but I'm doing it...:rolleyes:
