Me too. They&amp;#39;re so tempting, though. And evocative of my many complex emotions on swimming topics.
 
PS - I just learned you can only use 10 emoticons at a time.  I attempted to make myself famous in the forums by using them all at once.  So I&amp;#39;ll just choose this one because it&amp;#39;s the biggest:

I agree!  And, I know just the place where I would use it. ;)
 
Of course you were joking, but I know the feeling of having a stroke *that* bad!  My backstroke may not look so bad, but it looks like slooooow motion on the videos! :cane: So, I feel your pain... :bighug:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rules Violation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/152104?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Sep 2010 07:29:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:57ba228b-4d7e-4458-b3a5-3e936f17d4a0</guid><dc:creator>jethro</dc:creator><description>:bighug:

One hot steamy afternoon a friend of mine (100#) was walking her 2 (maybe 3?) Bouviers (~100# each) on leash. They walked past an indoor college swim pool that had the doors open during varsity swim practice. 

&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouvier_des_Flandres"&gt;en.wikipedia.org/.../Bouvier_des_Flandres&lt;/a&gt; 

The dogs bolted and ran into the pool enclosure ... and jumped in the pool to cool off.

My friend was mortified and apologized profusely !&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rules Violation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/151819?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Sep 2010 07:10:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:bdf6949b-c165-46b8-a39d-50d417673718</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Jayhawk: I love it!

That really depends - does the deer still have its antlers? :afraid:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rules Violation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/151899?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Sep 2010 05:51:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c820a530-4ec7-40c7-b761-214714009c92</guid><dc:creator>Elaine Krugman</dc:creator><description>P.S.
