First, major congratulations to the posting representatives at the GMU sprint classic. As readers of the Hulk's blog already know, he swam magnificently. Paul, we aging mortals salute you!
But the highest kudos of all go to L "Fortress" L, goddess of the 70 % of the earth that is watery, and winner of last year's Livingston Cup!
Leslie's times were enough to make men weep in envy!
Superb, Leslie. Just superb. Once in a generation comes a swimmer in her mid 40s who needs no Finnish formula or gender seeding to triumph! The Fortress is such a generational anomaly!
Which brings us back, alas, to the Hulk....
Chris Stevenson proposed, and Hulk accepted, a test of manhood in the 50 fly. Knowing Hulk's time would be somewhere between Chris' and Fortress' times, Chris suggested that if Hulk's time were closer to his own, he would not have to have a manhoodectomy. If, however, his time were closer to Fortress', Paul would admit, in public, possibly in capital letters, that he is a girlie man. Admittedly, it was only a matter of hundredths of seconds ...
However, Paul, we are waiting for you to do the last manly thing of your life before accepting your new role as a girlie man.
Proposal for Paul to regain his manhood:
Same bet, 100 fly at either the David Gregg VMST meet in February or zones in April. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "double or nothing." (Caveat: I'll probably wear my B70 at zones, but not at the VMST meet.)

I vote for zones as I plan on attending.
I'm voting for Zones, too. I want to see the rematch.
Wolf-girl LOL Love it
Sandbag-Girl would just like to remind Wolf-Girl and his gawkers and admirers that Sandbag-Girl's participation in the "reverse manhood-ectomy" depends on, drum roll, the Order Of Events for Zones.
While I can understand the need for a quick resolution to this issue, I feel that I must be cautious and wait for various ruling bodies to finish thier investigations into potential blood doping, PEDs, gene therapy and equipment tampering.
Once these lingering issues have been resolved to my satisfaction, I will then address the public.
Paul 'I am STILL the Hulk' Wolf
:lmao: Next time... you need to come to Indy with us!

Oh, just SUCK IT UP!!!!!! :mooning:
Already reaching into the Acme Bag-O-Excuses for a meet that is SIX MONTHS AWAY!!! :shakeshead:
You're just skairt cause that's my shave and taper meet. Granted I would be skairt too at that thought :help:
How about this? You and I, 50 and 100 Fly. Best total under current times. So for me that's 25.76/58.92 and you 27.39/1:04.25.
Loser buys the winner dinner on Sunday.
We can also have some beer bets like we had before, lowest split differential on 100 Fly? Fewest breaths in the 50 free or fly? Best scar from an ice pack? :afraid:

Why is it that one is supposed to "suck it up" on one's taper meet exactly?! :dunno:

Why is it that one is supposed to "suck it up" on one's taper meet exactly?! :dunno: Nope, I await the order of events and my relay duties to choose events. (Don't want to miss out on the 100 back again!) Until then, you are a Wolf-Girl!
I am only skairt of the 2-Fly and shoulder pain, not girlie men. :mooning:
Oh byte me. :p
Sorry, but given your past history of 'the event order sucks, I'm not swimming' I assumed that you were waiting for the event order to even determine if you were going to swim. :lmao:
I guess I will have to wait for you to perform a long and intensive analysis of the event order, potential rest, entry time optimization, lunar moon phase, projected pollen count, :blah: :blah: :blah:
Just let me know and I :welcome: any challenge you wish to make. For :drink: or not.
I'm confused. Bite or suck it up? Or both? If both, does the order matter? And given certain, er, changes you've been forced go thru lately, Paul, don't you think you should wait till there's a meet in Massachusettes where your proposition for the Fortress is legal?
