I hated the butterfly stroke. Couldn't do it to save my life. But I was really good doing the backstroke and freestyle. The breast stroke bored me. It felt like I wasn't moving fast enough for all the effort put into it...
:)

And that is when you knew you were gay.

I also figured it out when I was not able to get out of the water when the buff guy swimmers were using the outside showers in their Speedos.
:D

I can imagine. Also, without perfect alignment of your "rudder" you'd end up swimming in circles.

Exactly. Good thing for the lane lines.

Yes.

Sorry to be so late in responding, it's been a busy day at work.

But my remark needs some 'splaining.



We were once chatting with some German exchange students about our respective grade school field trips. Whereas we would go to things like The Post Office ... they were always going to Castles. Without exception.

After a while, their actual reaction was, "Uch, another Castle?! How boring!"


So I have adopted that as my reaction to anything that's spectacular, but perhaps in danger of losting luster by being too repetitive.





ETA: and if swimming gives you shoulders, where do I sign up??

Yay - Bronze for Australia in what I call "The Wobbly-Walk" :D

Universal HD is showing an AWESOME boxing match right now. An Uzbeki (Tulashboy Donyorov) vs. an Indian (Jitender Kumar), and Donyorov is fighting dirty.

Wow, that was crazy. When exactly did Olympic boxing devolve into anarchy?

What happened? So far all of the boxing I've seen (and that seems to be 80% of what they show on Universal HD) has suffered from excessive boringness.
