Fat Polar Bear Club men in tutus . . . thanks, Rev. Thanks a lot.

Actually, I tried that one year in Wisconsin. No, not wearing a tutu, but jumping into frigid water. Strangely rejuvenating. But, talk about shrinkage . . .

Are you sure, Rumple? I'm certain you'd look quite fetching in one of those ballerina outfits. Might even be one step in the right direction to canonization, Reverend.

I see it more my calling to wait in the warming hut, sipping on steaming sacramental wine, and praying over their semi-forzen carcasses.

Lemme swat 'em with some pine boughs Rev.

That'll warm 'em up for sure.

Gimme another hit off that wine bottle--whooEEE! That's good stuff.

Glad you like it. Comes from a little vineyard in Rosewell, NM, that's just out of this world.

I just luv double-posts.

This is only 180 degrees off topic, but maybe it will atone for my grievous faux pas.

Get a medical check-over before trying to swim in an ice-surrounded pool.

The shock of cold water can precipitate a heart attack.

Our local yacht club has a sponsored swim every December. One of their MD members has a veto on who participates and St John Ambulance is standing by. This year they raised several thousand pounds for our local Children's Hospice and no one suffered any ill-effects (except from the strong drink in the bar afterwards).

Such a selfless giver. And so in tune with the true path!

Okay, so what is that red thing next to her head? It looks like someone blew up a red balloon, snuck up next to her during this lovely photo-capturing session, and hovered it around her hair (which it is now clinging to in a frenetic bond of static electricity), only she didn't know about it, so she just keeps posing and now the picture looks awesome except for that weird red goiter thing poking so rudely from the lovely concave shape of her neck.
*inhales*

It could also be a cherry cough drop that fell out of someone's mouth and is now sticking very unceremoniously to her hair. Man, that would suck.

Another dream turns to dust.

I swam once on Christmas Day but I think I cheated - I was on Bondi Beach.

No doubt there are some anal-retentive, letter-of-the-law types who would contend that Sydney's Bondi Beach in December is not a natural habitat for Polar Bear ice swimmers.

But IMHO, it's a most appropriate place to enjoy the sport.

ps: BlueBell, I have no idea about that red thing. The illustration was the cover to the 1972 Playboy Christmas issue. Maybe it has something to do with that. rr

I will never willingly go into water that cold again. I have been in cold water a time or three but,,,,,,

The first time was when I was about ten. I was trapping for Muskrat and fell through the ice. Two things saved my ass that day. The first was I never went onto the ice without a safety line tied to me. The second was a little knowledge about cold weather survival, (I rolled in the snow to dry off a bit.) and I had a fairly short two mile cross country ski back to the house. (By the time I got home I had ice covering most of my clothing. I wasn't allowed inside until my father had broken most of it off me.)

The second time I decided to do some snorkeling in the North Sea, just to say I had done so. Bathing suit, mask, fins and snorkel. I was in the water maybe fifteen minutes and it took my then G/F a lot longer than that to warm me up afterwards.

I then learned to dive in New England, where the water warms up to 60 degrees. My coldest dive there was in 30 degree water for nearly half an hour. We were paid well and then spent the night in the hospital. (We had to help pull a car out of the water, an emergency situation.) Our dive gear tat day consisted of 7mm wetsuits with hoods and gloves. We had surface tenders who not only watched us but had ropes attached to our gear so they could pull us in if needed. They did need to carry us out of the water at the end of the dive as we couldn't feel our legs.

Most likely it won't happen again.
