I never realized there was a pecking order among the sissified nations of the world.

Geek- you are a constant exemplar of the wisdom of the old truism "consider the source"...
I already take enough grief from my non swimming friends about wearing Speedos. Now our flagship publication has aqua joggers in flippers. I sure hope none of them get their hands on this month's edition. Can you imagine a triathlon magazine putting a picture of a fellow on a banana seat beach cruiser bicycle on it's cover? Or a ski magazine showing a fellow doing a snow plowon a bunny slope?
I guess they found the one water class where people actually get wet. This all seems strange, like appealing to the LCD to promote membership.
Smith (evil or good, I can't tell you apart) - what say you about this?
Geek- if there wasn't, how would you ever manage to feel superior to anyone?
I just took a look at the cover in question- looks like an illustrated dinner menu for sharks...

Geek, I think I figured it out. You see, we don't want to scare off any potential members who might be afraid we actually swim.
AquaNutt, RandyGeek & Gulless.....if you had waited to read the actual article associated with the photo you would have discovered that John, myself and Ion all posed for this new late bloomer event being introduced next nationals....."beer treading".
Peter tried to enter under an alias....but the refs we're on to him right away when he refused to drink anything but Canadian beer (the event was using a "neutral" French beer s as not to offend anyone).

USMS consists of all kinds of members. Not all of them swim paced workouts and even fewer actually compete. The magazine needs to consist of content that applies to all of it's members, not just the race ready crowd. I don't have much interest in anything dealing with noodling or whatever else is on this months magazine (I have yet to get my copy) but I can understand that the magazine has a target audience that consists of more than just the USMS forum members.
