Trash Talk

While my personal view is that trash talking is unnecessary and counter productive,none the less it seems some good natured trash talking is beginning in the kicking thread.Since not everyone is interested in how important kicking is,but everyone is interested in the S(he) Man/Knelson battle of the Titans,not to mention the Muppet/Fort demolition derby,I thought it should have it's own thread.So,go ahead,make my day.
  • The mark of a truly gifted trash talker is the person who can talk quality smack even as they stink up the joint with a truly ugly swim (or whatever activity they happen to be talking smack about)! Then I have the gift....and I haven't even swam that 200 back thats coming this weekend against Shake!!
  • there is now: 100-Backstroke 2 Grover, Mollie K 27 TERR 1:03.90 100-Backstroke 1 Strahota, Jeffrey R 27 TERR 1:03.77 :angel::angel::angel: :bolt: Oh, puh-leeze, with manual time that race was too close to call, I was looking right down the wall and I couldn't tell
  • Oh, puh-leeze, with manual time that race was too close to call, I was looking right down the wall and I couldn't tell where's warren? THE CLOCK DOES NOT LIE!!!
  • You're right when it's using a touch pad. But manual timing on other hand......
  • oh you mean this: www.youtube.com/watch I loved your turn (the "Hah! I got this in the bag moment!") and the nice easy glide home...wait, chooo-choooo SwimStud Express coming through... Hehehe look forward to a rematch...maybe we can even it out with some other events and handicaps ;) Who was that 70yo that beat you both? Paul

    Then I have the gift....and I haven't even swam that 200 back thats coming this weekend against Shake!! Shake N Bake will clean your clock. He'll already be on the blocks for the next event by the time you've made your last turn. Since it's a 200 I presume you'll want to have Laura count for you.
  • Hulk eat too many people who anger him, that why Hulk not so buff. Anger leads to insomnia. Insomnia leads Hulk to skip morning practice. Skipping practice causes an even greater decline in Hulk's fitness. Hulk cries like a itsy bitsy baby at our next 4000 yard monofin workout.
  • Don't look now, but I think your smack-attack gun is stuck in the "full auto" mode! Sprinters are just so high strung. I dunno...she was considering entering the 1650 and the 400IM on the same day at the David Gregg meet...doesn't sound any of the wimpy sprinters I'VE ever been around. :bolt: Sadly I broke my foot on Wednesday so I won't be swimming ANYTHING at the David Gregg meet but I will be there to watch you two go at it in the 400 IM! I had already decided that the 1000 wouldn't be a good idea but Jeff made me realize that swimming anything at the meet wasn't a good idea. BOO! And Jeff swam the 500 free AND 400 IM at the Tropical Splash meet last weekend but Leslie wouldn't know anything about that meet, too early for you I heard. He does do 25s but I distinctly remember a set of 4 x 400 free that we did a few weeks ago. Les, I'll see you at the Albatross and will be ready for the 50 and 100 back and you better not sandbag your seed times and end up swimming 5 heats before us. We want to race you in the same heat!!!! This broken foot shouldn't impact my starts and turns too badly since they suck anyways!
  • Yes, I'm quite Type A. :D I said said puny girl was aspiring to be a sprinter. This is not an easy task, or for the weak of heart. But perhaps her recent injury will restrain her from the 25K she's likely pining over. Blech. We have a standing grudge match in the 50 back, along with another forumite and a couple other women on my team. I would be humiliated in the 200 back if that was an event I chose to swim. Like Ian Smith, I'm very good at ignoring events over 100. I don't believe his lousy excuse for not doing any backstroke though. :thhbbb: Puny????? Yeah, the 25K is out. I can't see myself swimming more than 4000 in a practice while only pulling since I can't kick or push off with my left foot. Back to trash talking.....Les, PLEASE put down a real seed time at zones! Having me, you, Mollie, Barb all in the same heat would be awesome. Heck, you really need to be trash talking with Yana, not me! I've been missed our team records by less than a tenth several times and really just want to get it and be done with it!

This broken foot shouldn't impact my starts and turns too badly since they suck anyways! I was doing a studly workout at GMU (including 4 x 400 IM) -- where you should have been instead of doing a few meager laps at the crack of dawn. Not swimming both the 50 and 100 back at Albatross. I am much too diverse a swimmer to do nothing but backstroke, backstroke, backstroke. You and Barb need to get a life! Why, I have two team records in breaststroke. :weightlifter: And I really wish SOMEONE would do something about the order of events for that meet. Utter discrimination against sprinters.
