I love the smell of elitism in the morning!

Pools, baah!
Somewhere between the effete East and the swashbuckling West lies the git-'er-done Midwest, with four of the finest inland seas known to swimmers and a sanctioned race on September 12 already booked. www.bigshoulders.org Join Tom Boettcher in the 5k butterfly event! For sprinters, there is the 2.5k evilstroke. Mauling, kicking a competitor, and bringing a dog for companionship are acceptable forms of recreation.
:)
Im with Vive here...bring it to the big shoulders swim.
I think were gonna need some of these middies to step out of our lil area and show the rest of the country how swimming is truly done.

This says it all. Bless you, founding Bad Grrrlllllzzzzz Member. You have weighed all, brought all to mind, and understood with the clarity of gin in a Chrystal goblet which way lies God's judgment!
Leslie, I am not exactly sure what you mean by insisting that "Clemmons shaves the white wonder." Does this have something to do with the "boys'" appendage? If he executes your directive, that is one less swimmer for me to have to worry about, but one more for your gender to contend with.
As far as etching out the boundaries of our little competiton, I say: give Paul Smith Ft. Worth and everything capable of growing a tequilla worm outside. He can also have the Dakotas and Nebraska and Utah, that is to say, everywhere that tequilla worms are allowed to marry multiple wives.
The West can have everything on the "fall into the sea" side of whatever that humongous fault line is that threatens to dispatch them all to the joyless perdition that Mr. Heather and his obsessive "need sleep to optimize performance" style ilk currently make out of their workouts!
Pish posh!
As for us in the magnificent East, we herewith lay claim to everything we bought and paid for with wampum and bribes to both Louisiana and folly expenditures by Seward. We also get Chicago, justification for said land grab to be forthcoming once I figure out all the many, many reasons for it. Oh, and Hood River, Oregon, because I need that suit.
And Hawaii, because it is so far West that it has become East again.
Some may call this gerrymandering. I call it fairness. I call it...VICTORY!
Since it emanated from the culture of 400 years of eastern inbreeding, I can see how this might be considered fair. Anyone within 200 miles of D.C. would think it is leaving too much to chance.

Ack! Enough about the fastest times...I want to know which Zone attracts the most valuable duffers, the swimmers to fill out the 17 heats before the final heat, who let you fast guys & gals get some rest! I know I represent my zone well in that regard. :applaud:

You are just cranky that I took you down in the 50 evil at CZ ...
Can't anyone smack talk and gridge?
Hmm .... if Ensignada doesn't get her ass back in the pool soon, she'll forget how to do flip turns. Of course, that will just give me more rest. :)
Touche'.
Of course, I'm not sure my flip turns will actually speed the meet up. :shakeshead:

Anybody interested in a virtual dual meet with WCM?
We have one every year (not virutal, we go to Santa Cruz) with UCSC, but a masters one would be fun? (And you can wear any suit you like, or none, like chaos).
Bring it!!! Use times from Nationals next week. Score head-to-head through 6th place?

AhHayley, if we are having an east vs west show down, it cannot be on the west coast! Are you trying to infect us with all your damn allergens and Clemmons' mustache vegetation? Nice try. Only fair to meet in the middle, get you guys out of your comfort zone for big meets, and Clemmons shaves the white wonder. Do you actually ever travel east of Texas and AZ? Or is traveling to the right side of the country too challenging?
Fresnoid, I believe that That Guy, flyer that he is, was being somewhat sarcastic and humorous in light of previous postings. Nice job, That Guy, I enjoyed it for one nanosecond before realizing the necessity of carrying on with the trash talking and sprint work.
That Guy played a perfect post, I wanted to highlight it for the ignorant fools who have difficulty perceiving sophisticated humor.
