Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot: If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

    Every so often a legendary athlete will appear and do the unthinkable. To argue the opposite side of the coin, a few questions come to mind...If a female athlete were on the juice... Wouldn't she have noticeably larger muscles? And wouldn't her voice get deeper? Or is a sports enhancing drug basically just used for recovery ...which allows an older athlete the ability to train as hard as a 20 year old? Past history of this abuse conjures imagery of the Amazonian East Germans with broad shoulder and hulking triceps. Wouldn't it be physically apparent that a doper is doping? Maybe not. This article (pre-Sydney Olympiad) changed my perspective ever so slightly...Apparently some athletes have legally enhanced their performances...including Ms. Torres. www.athleticscholarships.net/performance-enhancing-drugs-swimming.htm

    What does "FAF" mean? S A) Fit and Feisty? B) Flash and Fun? C) Fenomenal and Frisky? or D) All of the above

    What's interesting is that a 'nutritional supplement' one year may very well labeled a banned substance the following. WTF Quicksilver: We'll have you measuring FAF biceps and triceps in Austin next year! Agreed...but for the ladies only. Even though I too am 85% Flash. Fort, I've seen your metamorphosis photos from mommy to top ten swimmer. Very nice transformation...but what exactly is in that mono-fin? ...Hmmmmm?

    What can you tell from a face shot?! You had one posted showing your face and arms...pre-guns...not just face. Better hide the evidence. Flax seed oil will lower your bad cholesterol...keep you regular...and ward off mental problems in old age.

    Why not just take Omega 3 then? Might be an absorption issue. It's always best to get these things from natural foods as opposed to supplements. Eating more low mercury fish would likely solve this particular problem without having to pop pills.
  • Try the on-line urban dictionary. I thought something looked familiar. :doh:

    But you do have SILF's. There is something to be said for that.
  • I thought something looked familiar. :doh: Don't worry, Jim. I only found out about ILFs a couple months ago. :doh: But now Quicksilver will have Geek wondering if he can be a DILF if he adds muscle milk to his cocktail. He's got to keep up with Gull's new guns after all ...
