That's fairly-to-moderately old-school, yes.

However, I once grew a Davey Hearn tribute mustache . . .

Old, My friend went and she said she had a great time! She keeps talking about it. So thanks to you, Natalie, etc. However, I have a bone to pick with you two. My friend said that she finished either second or third (I don't remember which . . . one has to tune people out for at least a percentage o...

Jim, I think Louie's talking about the Upper Youg.

Somewhere near the gadda da vida, baby . . .

I know, I know. Every time I post John probably hopes someone will start another thread about adhesives -- so he can suggest one to go over my big mouth!

See ya at Nationals!

Benn designed the Absolute last year and raced it this race season. Then he tweaked that boat and came up with what he raced for the Trials. Then I believe he tweaked that one and raced still a different design in the Olympics. But I'm not sure what iTomco bases the Absolute that they sell on. Tom?

Jack, that is so frickin cool that you ordered an iTomco, and a boat that Benn designed, at that.

Which he named after Vodka!

I had a stroke a few years back. I don't know what all this talk about "good strokes" is. It was no fun. Dang near killed me! Believe me, there was some torso rotation going on at that time. You haven't been on Team Old Guy yet less you've had least one stroke, I reckon. Don't matter where they hit,...

Forget it; I'm blowing it off!

Fast and Clean was so well-shot. One thing that I didn't appreciate until years later when Dave Kurtz told me about it -- the part at the end when Linda Harrison loses to Cathy. Linda hit the last gate! That's why she didn't win. I never realized that while watching the movie. Maybe I'm just thick. ...

There's only one man who can help you with this. Typically, I reach for my stress toy when he posts, but in this case he smight prove useful. On Boatertalk, we call him "Decker" (or, "*%&^@!") Smome people smay he's smet the clock back thirty years on the Upper Chattooga licensing. Others smay that ...

I can answer that. Yes, Silvan is Silvan Poberaj, who runs GalasportUSA. US Slalom Team Head Coach, father of a couple of slackers -- okay, good boaters -- and coach to many other athletes, including The Great Scott Parsons. Note: Joel (knu2xs) once went after him with a club . . . - Just Another C-...

I'm going to plan to be there. C-1 long boat and short boat, if I can.

It's too bad what happened to Scottie. But you guys know that he's going to race C-1 next year? That's right. He's a great C-1er already. It will be interesting to see how he does.

Benn's dad, Tom Fraker, is a really nice guy, and he has been writing about his experiences with Benn leading up to the Olympics:

Good to hear, Jim. Glad someone is able to enjoy that boat on the water. That's what that thing was made for!
