Dara Torres-Amazing

Contrary to most beliefs coffee is a stimulant, however for hyper active kids it works in a different way. It slows them down.

Chai Tea Latte...the drink of champions. Oh dear...:doh::shakeshead::notworking:

I think all the coffee talk is out of hand. Agreed...maybe Dara is on Tea...it has caffeine and is a diuretic too...so that would help her explain that shredded look she has...

I think all the coffee talk is out of hand. We know there are very few coffee experts here, I happen to be one. Coffee has been found to be a health benefit. So many rumors about coffee are not true. My grandson came home from school, the teacher told him coffee stunts your growth. I told him to research it, he found out the teacher did not know what he was talking about. I still drink my pot or two every morning, then uptown to Beanies for one or two double shot cafe lattes. The girl there at Beanies knows I like to taste the coffee so that is where I go. Starbucks double shot latte tastes like hot milk to get the proper effect from starbucks I have to order a quad shot latte. I have trouble going to sleep at night if I don't have my coffee.

Van Dyken does not bring grace to the pool and describes herself as mean and stubborn. www.geocities.com/.../amybio.htm Van Dyken's behavior after the 100 Free in Atlanta was deplorable. Her pouting and crying was an embarassment to the USA Swimming. Noone remembers this because 6 days later she had won 4 gold medals, but I sure do. Calling Ingy a man was just lame, too. The link above describes a story how, two weeks before the Olympics she saw old high school teammates in a mall. She went up to them and pointedly said, "I am swimming 5 events in the Olympics, what are you up to?" This is a sign of a person who just doesn't get it. My response would have been, "and yet I am still more secure than you..." Enough on VanDyken. What I really want to know is, why didn't Torres continue to swim after 2000? Why come back now?

H I don't want to hear about tea. Drink it with pinky extended. Nobody cares if YOUR "pinky" is extended or not... :lmao:

Evan, Dude..... you're just pissed off I didn't have an extra starbucks for you in the swim parents tent at the meet at JO's last week. Dude, I'm gonna kick your butt today at lunch at workout. Tell your bald headed cohort to suit up. The fistacuffs are coming out today, and we are going 10x100s blast. If you let an old man 15 years your senior beat you, you will be shamed. Speaking of coffee...... you should have seen me at Stanford worlds. I downed a double shot and drank half of Evil Smith's double shot. Susan Von der Lippe (Rapp) said I reminded her of "Hammy" the squirrel from the movie "Over the Hedge". Glad I remembered to take my motrin after the race. I almost blew a gasket on that 50. John Smith I don't care who you are....now......that's funny!!!!!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Tea - now why doesn't this surprise me at all. I dunno...maybe because I'm a Brit and we know not to make it with "harbour water" when you want a cup? :thhbbb:
