Death to all Noodlers!

As I started this thread, (one of my greatest achievements, telling my wife to put, "Originator of THE "death to all noodlers" USMS thread in my obit) I agree that you do not need a noodle to be a noodler, and having a noodle doesnt make you a noodler by this def. I will say this thread has been very theraputic (sp). Why just the other day someone posted that they went to the bathroom and came back to find a noodler in their lane, and that had happened to me the day before the posting. ElaineK's def is spot on for the sake of this discussion. but most importantly I know.... I AM NOT ALONE! Hoosier (or, "Old Fart" as you put it...), you are my new best friend! :D No, you are not alone. And, you are a pretty cool old fart, as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, the noodlers I'm dealing with are old farts in a much worse way. Who goes to the pool and whines about not wanting their hair to get wet? That's the other reason they are trying to get rid of me during their water aerobics classes. I went into detail about my trials and tribulations with the noodlers, in the thread I started, "You know you're hooked on swimming when..." Now, today, I show up to the pool and there is a note posted by the HOA office that states that the indoor pool is reserved for water aerobics classes from 9-10am. They get the ENTIRE six lane, 25 yard to themselves, even though two lane line are in for lap swimmers and there are only, on average, 8 attendees for that class. This isn't over yet, though! The HOA manager can't arbitrarily make decisions like that! Any rules & regulation changes must be approved by the board! So, I am armed for our upcoming meeting... The noodlers haven't won the war yet... So, today, I figured, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Up until 9am, I swam my workout, then, I joined them for their class, I'm sure, to their total dismay. And, I blew them away...:D I double and tripled movements to every one of theirs, and when it was time for flutter kick? Ha! They don't like splashing? TOUGH! :bump: The saga continues... And, Old Fart Hoosier? Thanks for starting this thread so I can vent, too! :blah:
