Seeing as Nationals are fast approaching (eek!), I thought I'd post this now to give time for debate, planning, and change to make sure we can see some action. ;)
Here's what I was thinking:
There's a Red Robin (though there are plenty of other choices also) fairly close to the pool (by the mall...about 5 milesish..maybe). I would LOVE to meet everybody from these forums so I was thinking Friday or Saturday night we should have a little dinner and drinks soiree. The formally organized USMS social is Saturday night.
So...that's my thought. Let's hash out some details and make it happen!!
:drink: :groovy: :woot:

I'm thinking I hide in Muppet's suitcase to make it to nationals as a spectator. Then after Kyra's big 21st party we kidnap a sheep, shave it, put a swimming cap and goggles on it, spray paint it with "USMS Forum Posse" and have ourselves photographed with our new mascot!
a)Yes
b)No
c)Who's got the bail money?
Or is there some more "Welsh" reason you want the sheep Jeff?
Hehe, no "Welsh," Rich... just want one for no reason really. wouldn't have to mow the lawn. I could start a swimsuit business with the wool, though. If Loophole is still looking for a suit, I could weave him brand new custom-fit pool outfit.
:banana:
You better bring her, then. :joker:
My 16 yo wants to come along and I think that might be a good thing.
It'll keep me out of trouble and EVERYONE WILL have a designated driver.

Fixed!:p

PS I had nothing to do with the sheep in that picture...

It would never have appeared were it not for your earlier "Welsh" posts.

Oh I guess you had everything to do with that then eh, Jim ? I thought it was smiling..albeit a sheepish grin!
Ba-doomp!
Thank you...thank you. I'll be here all week!
I raised sheep (and pigs and calves) for projects in 4-H and FFA in high school. Sheep are stupid, smelly, and a lot of work. You wouldn't want one for very long. But they are tasty.:agree:
Hehe, nice!
I do agree they are stupid animals. One of the first videos I downloaded from the internet years ago (back when 56k dialip was all the rage) is of these sheep, running down some small corral hallway. There is this beam, I guess to hold up some of the fencing, about 3 feet off the ground in the picture. Three sheep sprint down the hallway. A Fourth runs and leaps right into the beam. What he is jumping for is anyone's guess... Hilarious. I just watched it again the last couple days ago. Hilarious
:dedhorse:
2 sheep in our backyard
This is the most outrageous egregious nefarious horrific example of thread hijacking I have ever seen. :rofl:
I just want to know if my FAF Sista Twin is going to Nats and who will be sitting at the shoulder support table. I don't care about no smelly sheep.

Hi Sis!
I have had to sadly accept that I will not make it to Nationals this year! :shakeshead: I swam yesterday and realized how VERY OUT OF SHAPE I am! I only swam 2600...and most with fins...and I was wiped out last night. Plus the moula for a flight to Washington is out of the question. I have one child in college and have to buy a car soon for my 15...soon to be 16...year old! I hope I can go to long course Nationals this summer. I definitely plan on going to short course next year!! I'll be with you in spirit though!
