I think it would be fun to pick a day and declare it USMS Old-School Equipment Practice Day.
Wear your old drag suits (no fewer than 2!) and pantyhose and dig out your old latex caps. Strap on your old Swedes or single-strap bug-eyed Speedo goggles and bring whatever else you've still got lying around.
Then we'll all post pictures on the forums, discuss what it was like to swim with the old gear and tell stories about our most beloved pieces of old equipment.
We'll all have a good laugh and the next day, when we go back to Endurance suits, Vanquishers and silicone caps, we'll be extra appreciative of the technological progress of the last 20+ years.
Anyone game?
A lot of people let themselves get annoyed over Comic Sans, especially these guys:

They point out Safari has an extender that turns CS into Helvetica.
I just tried it. It works. Elaine's text is still blue so I can still tell it's her post without checking the avatar though. :)
