salad, we know can't get over the severe Fetal Alcohol Syndrome caused by you mother's habit of having Stoli and Lucy Charms for breakfast, but Phelps was 19, it happened once, he paid his dues, and it happened 4 years ago. let. it. go.

What is this? Did he have to pull another community service stint for drunk driving again? 11-4-04: NEVER FORGET

My son goes to camp at this YMCA and was in the pool with MP today! We had no idea... they just said yesterday 'make sure to bring your swimsuit tomorrow for a special event.' When he said he met MP, I didn't believe him till I looked it up on Google.

Michael Phelps doesn't drink water. Water drinks Michael Phelps.

Maybe cast Phelps in the lead for the big budget Sub-Mariner movie?

@Outter Burrougher, I appreciate you pointing out the issues. No worries (I didn't realize you were terse--you were to-the-point!).

thanks for making the corrections; sorry for being terse, I'm cranky this afternoon.

I am a swimmer, lifeguard, WSI, and sports fan, though I wasn't that amazed by his performance, believe it or not. Swimming events have too much cross over, when compared to say track. However, I am a fan of him with this. This is a great thing. Anything to get more kids into an active environment is commendable.
