You'll have seen this image by now from
Some images just cry out for a bit of fun. And surely we need our own MSF swimming meme? What better image than @malinaka.
For anyone concerned, I asked Andrew first if he was okay with this, and being awesome, he said "absolutely".

This one is specifically for @malinaka
Are we allowed to repost this stuff elsewhere? I know where it can get a laugh!
Ta-da! :-) To be fair, I've never spoken to @malinaka about his Nyad-related feelings.
We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
Not sure how to put the words into the sign, but here's my entry:
I think Swim Outlet misunderstood what I meant by a skin suit. They sent me an empty box.
See my STS Race Report for context:
"Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought be down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead..."
Where can we donate? Can I have one? Lifesize or action figure? Can we get a Christmas edition and make it the Open Water Swimmer's version of "Elf on the Shelf"? Or a tree-topper,,, stocking stuffer,,, Christmas is just around the corner you know...
If we get 12 , therés your calendar.
This may be cheezy, but I feel somewhat justified by Andrew's own words

How do you add text to the photo?
I just used paint in Windows

And colder...
I took the picture and put it into powerpoint, then added a text box.

I used an iPhone app called "Over." It's sole purpose is to create memes.

We only have 8, we need 4 more for the calendar. Get your thinking caps on folks..
Thanks for the suggestions, all--so here's the photo version of my caption!
The swim belongs to the mad! ;-)
Stop me if you've heard this one...

I'm sorry for this one!
Why stop there? Isn't this a marathon swimmers' forum?... Go for another year or so!
