      In all fairness, it’s not like the pole vaulter gets multiple events to compete in. In a single Olympics Phelps won a gold for 100m Butterfly, 200M Butterfly, and 2 different relay teams where he swam the Butterfly… That’s impressive as hell, but it’s still 4 golds for being the best in the world at 1 thing. The pole vaulter only gets 1 event. There’s no relay with the long jumper, sprinter, and javelin thrower…

          Mark Spitz, whereas Michael Phelps.

          I was only joking

            Course, he was also the best freestyle swimmer, which also won him multiple golds.

            And since he was the best at both, he did won a bunch of golds for IM…

            But I’m still going to be bitter because the guy was/is(?) a jackass…

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            I was tipped off to the above by the menswear guy. Interesting thread.

                                There is a game in Thailand called Sepak Takraw, which you can see played a lot in parks and in villages. Kind of like volleyball but can only use your feet. I tried once, and only once!! LOL Quite difficult.

                                  I've never tried it. I guess I'll never know whether I have a latent talent for it, which might have propelled me to international stardom. The road not taken.

                                      I think it was Bill Gates who said we overestimate the amount of change coming in 18 months and underestimate the amount of change coming in a decade.
