Subject: RE: Putrid PuddingOkay, my sweet pool piglets (in my pool that's the highest compliment, btw) ... SIX DAYS left in December. That's an eternity, really ... so swim! I'm 1400 yds OVER my goal and still haven't picked up a boy at the pool yet. But I'm lookin' for something a little like this ... Kosuke Kitajima is an Olympic gold medalist and former multiple world-record holder. He is a champion breaststroker (mmm ... definitely could use one of those) and other than astonishing success at a young age, has accomplished two unique things: 1. FINA, the governing world swim body, actually changed a regulation in direct response to his swim style: you can now do one butterfly kick off the start/turns in breaststroke. 2. His catchphrase (not catch phase ) won a new-words contest in 2004: 'cho-kimochi-ii,' meaning "I feel mega good." AGREED ... especially when I see pics of him! BTW the group pic (a back-from-Christmas four-fer! Howdya like that!) is the Japanese men's 4x100 medley relay, which won an upset bronze in the 2004 Games.  Edited by TriAya 2007-12-26 4:08 AM
