Really interesting article re: the cost for college teams to try and stay even w/other teams that can afford to supply their swimmers w/the new suits.

Dolphin, you have become OCD over this issue. I don't mean in an annoying way, I mean in a not metally healthy way. It is clear that the fight has taken on greater meaning to you than the actual issue.
What were we talking about? Oh yeah, the suit....
Hey Lefty
Frankly I believe all the people that are spending big $$$ on expensive suits are actually experiencing "CSD" (compulsive spending disorder) and they aren't exactly mentally healthy either.
However instead of seeing a shrink, they should be seeking the advice of a debt counselor.
After reading the previous post, I have the hilarious thought of hearing people standing in line at a soup kitchen and one of person asks the other "Are you in debt because you were ripped off by a sub-prime mortgage broker?" -and then he then replies "No, I'm in debt because I took out a loan from Speedo over my swim suit". :confused:

There is definitely something wrong with your behavior here, seriously...

An interesting glimpse into your neurosis. Let me sum this up for everyone: The reason that Dolphin is so passionate about the suit issue is because his kids (sister maybe?) have made poor spending choices and he feels guilty about it. I cannot (yet) see the bridge between the two issues but I am sure that it is there.
I saw yesterday on the speedo website that they are now offering financing.
Yee Gadds - Now people are going to Speedo to get financing because they have to take out the equivalent of a mortgage to buy one of their expensive tech suits???
If you thought the sub-prime real estate crisis is a fiasco, now Speedo has come up with this absolutely absurd idea.
And I thought you only read about this kind of insanity in MAD Magazine!!! :bolt:
