Addendum: Olympic Trials Day 6

Posted July 5, 2008 at 6:24 pm by Suz in Tales From The Deck

Ok, I forgot to mention something else that grinds my gears from last night.

Did y’all notice the way the meet announcer says Ben Wildman-Tobriner’s name? It goes a little something like this (hit it):

BEN “WILD MAN” TOBRINER!!

I was not aware that Ben’s swim nickname was “Wild Man”, did y’all? I guess it’s true that one does learn a new thing every day!

BTW, we’d like to take an additional second to shout out the Chlorination boys. We love those guys to death!!

ETA: We just got back from BWT’s presser and a reporter asked if he had any nicknames. He said he had “many”, but that most popular was obviously “Wild Man”. What a coincidence, right Paul? ;)

      FIRST!

      Always wanted to do that. *grin* I’m special, because I’m first!

      Don’t you hate commenters that do that?

      But, you can’t hate me!

      You guys have been awesome!

      *note to self* Qwest Center is kinda freaky when they start turning off the lights! They only have a few emergency lights in the media center when you are here late.

      Must be their cue for GTFO!

      LOL! Jason! Yes, definitely their “polite” way of saying GTFO. Meanwhile, there wasn’t a repeat performance tonight at Farrell’s. I’m not going to lie. I’m a little disappointed.

      From my understanding of Farrell’s on GTFO night, I believe that’s like a first kiss. You might have some other ones that are stellar, but nothing ever beats the first one. *grin*
