Haven&amp;#39;t gotten mine yet.  What were Geek and Wookiee debating?


Geek&amp;#39;s bra size

I&amp;#39;m sure the debate will be entertaining. I have thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Geek&amp;#39;s and Mr. Wookiee&amp;#39;s good-natured forum sparring since joining. :agree:
 
Even better is getting to see what they look like so I can recognize them at a swim meet and say hello.

We are easy to spot. I am the tall, dark, handsome fella. Geek takes after his uncle, Grumpy smurf. He is short, blue and always mumbling something unpleasant.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Forumites continue to dominate Swimmer</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/159365?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:50:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b18d8105-dd97-478b-a951-875d43e282ce</guid><dc:creator>Chris Stevenson</dc:creator><description>Lots of letters over &amp;quot;the letter.&amp;quot; I dutifully read through them:

But I laughed when I came across the light-hearted comment by Carlton Arnold in the section immediately following:

Having just reviewed the December Dara Torres article and accompanying photograph (YIKES!!!) I inexplicably purchased a 55-gallon barrel of Fitness Nutrition Gold Medal Aminos. I have no idea what came over me.

Pablum, with pictures. (Nice pics, though!)
 
I would imagine there are challenges to providing content for a special-interest magazine, and what better way than to use available talent (i.e., draft off energetic posters). A winning strategy, and the mag gets out on time!
 
Lots of things can be done in the pool to improve the OW experience, and a longish OW swim presents a new conditioning and environmental challenge for mainly pool swimmers.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
