Michael Phelps and a bong? Is there any truth to this?

Stud...not all of us are skilled in the english language as you. Some people are doing the best they can with their limited english and mental skills. So, please quit mocking the handicapped, like those that weren't born with the queen's english. Are you mocking my English skills? :censor:

We waited 2 days for this comeback...?!?!?! Surprisingly, my life doesn't revolve around a message board. I didn't catch it the first time b/c I dismiss most of what you say anyway. You know... just like you dismiss Hispanics in the US. Dude, you called it your America, which is ain't. That was in a thread 6 months ago. And get this... it wasn't even remotely swimming-related. So while do you insist on bringing it into play in a context in which ethnicity isn't germane? It ain't mine or yours, it's our America. Perhaps you meant..."In The America that I love" vs. "My America." Consult the thread from last summer. You know... a full month before Phelps became The Greatest Olympian ever. Either way it is you that keeps bringing race into it. Saying, "Dude. Race has nothing to do w/ this" is inserting race into a subject??? Holy cow. You write in Spanish on here, I don't understand it, so I'll answer "Que?" And the problem is???? Did I have a problem w/ your usage of Spanish? Stop paying attention to the voices in your head. Either that or see a shrink. Preferably both.

I still say he should have been smarter, and anesthetized in private. I agree, some things should be done in private. So it seems that his actions were only wrong because he got caught.

Ok, if we are going to start talking about the TARP, can we take it to another thread?

I wish he would have said, "I am an adult. I know my body better than most. The most dangerous thing about smoking a little weed is what the government will do to you if caught. The most annoying thing is the phony indignation by people who shouldn't carry my wet speedo to the spinner. Drug test me, drug test everyone."

Sorry, Bug, not gonna agree on this. This sentiment was what all the apologists said after the DWI. You know Geek, maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe it really was a mistake. Maybe he didn't know it was a bong. Maybe somebody said something like, "Hey, Mike, stick your face into this thing." He is, after all, just a big kid.

Whoa whoa WHOA. If porn isn't fiction, and movies in general aren't fiction, then are you telling me that the ppl of Kalifornia elected as governor a robot sent from the future to destroy the human race? Um, he was a cyborg, there is a difference. Get it straight.

Surprisingly, my life doesn't revolve around a message board. OK that's a good one apart from the fact you clearly can't seem to let it go ether...so meh...yawn. I didn't catch it the first time b/c I dismiss most of what you say anyway. I've got you beat there. I dismiss everything you say but only after I've corrected you for the benefit of the others. You know... just like you dismiss Hispanics in the US. I only dismiss the one who believes that Soccer (originally named Association Football, and still called Football in the majority of the playing countries of the world) is REALLY REALLY popular in the USA...

The DUI thing when he was 19 was far far worse than this IMO! So says Jim Bongkowski! ;) LOL

you all, and this thread are going to make me late for my meeting! If you can't tell I'm also a true southerner. Five generations born in the same house, eight generations born in the south. Fried chicken is southern, not African American. Waffles and fried chicken soul food? I think the restruant chain developed that as a marketing ploy, because I have never heard of that combination from any of my African American friends. back to the subject of the thread (which I admit I haven't had time to read thoroughly) The young man was training unbelievably during the time most of us were raising heck, drinking and smoking dope. He missed that part of his life. Give the kid a break. He made a mistake let him suffer the consequences. If he makes it again shame on him and some real sanctions should be placed on him. Lainey
