As I wait for my beloved younger son Jack to get some of the early Wilderness video footage uploaded to our Mac, being held hostage by the youngster's foot-dragging and teenaged lack of fatherly OCD by proxy, probably a good thing, all in all, nevertheless, as I wait for this, which I hope will be completed by nightfall of Columbus Day, here is yet another video from the recent long course nationals at Indianapolis.
Today's film was inspired by a NSR thread [ame="http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?t=15289"]MCATs? - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums[/ame]
Seagurl51,who bills herself as the littlest FAF sister, an acronym Leslie has explained to me several times but I can never remember for sure what it means--furious and fanatical? footloose and fancy-free? fun at ****ing?--in any event, Seagurl51 recently graduated with a degree in advertising and decided she might want to take the next logical step in our consumer-driven economy and go to medical school.
That's what the thread is about: her casting about for advice on the MCATs, or exceedingly difficult medical school entrance exams, which swimming Drs. nonpareil Kirt Dixon and Heather Reitz evidently negotiated with the dexterity of sober spiders, and which I never took but almost certainly would have scored a bit higher on them than they did had I taken them, though we will never know for sure. Kurt and Chris Stevensonand Gull
and Vivebene
and Allen Stark
many others offer sage counsel; I offer an alternative route to prosperity as a doctor without officially going to medical school and the always witty Leonard Janzen
Cher-ed my Sonny, etc.
Anyhow, it inspired me to put together this little film that introduces one of our all time favorite viewers of this vlog, the melancholy Mormon from Arizona himself, Dr. Kirt.
He and the minx, Heather, it turns out, may share some sort of tent encampment history, but that's not entirely clear. Soon, Michele wafts by, usurping my attention with her I See Dick t-shirt and announcement of taking a shower, etc.
And we end the merry melange with Jane's tongue.
If you see one feel-good swimming video before Columbus Day, this one should be it.
Our cast of character's in Life Doctor, Death Doctor, Bad Grrrlll, Jane's Tongue, and Me include:
Kirk Dixson as.......the dashing ER physician
Heather Reitz as.....the alluring pathologist who studies corpses
[no picture available]
Jim---as the tragi-comic patient trying to decide which doctor is right for him
Michele Kagy-Schwartzenegger....Janet Evans, Jr. who teaches Jim how to urinate in his B70 and stirs his pulse back to life
{picture available but I can't find it}
Jane's Tongue....which just has to be seen to be believed
