Summer Olympics Preview: Synchronized Swimming


The notorious "synchronized finger pull" often determines the difference between silver or gold; a maneuver seldom attempted, yet never forgotten.

3. I think it's funny, too!
I know it takes atheletic ability, skill, and lots of practice but it's so campy - Esther Williams campy...

4. No buts about it -
synchronized swimming is best appreciated from the bottom of the pool. :D

5. Nothing beats that SNL film with Shearer and Short
20 years later, I giggle just thinking about it. And I am not a man prone to giggling.

6. It was the water wings, wasn't it?
Speaking of SNL and swimming...
I liked the gay beer commercial with Farley and Sandler - talk about turning a concept completely on its head!

7. It WAS the water wings...
And so much more.

"I don't swim. Which is a problem."
