Default Dara Torres

Did anyone see the 41 y/o Dana Torres kick ass in the 50 m freestyle in the Oly trails yesterday??? She's freakin awesome! I think she's my current hero although, even at 41, I've got 13 years on her.



I posted this under the Swimming section but, since no one ever goes there , I had to spread it around.

yes - saw her win the 100m Free as well.
Just amazing. Even if she can't see the board when she finishes.

I think it's Dara Torres...

And she is 100% badass.

41 years old and most of the team is half her age. Kick ass.

Saw it. That will teach those young kids to try and steal her record. She'll just take it back the next time she swims.

Default juesting19

Hospitality The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate. The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.

Even Dara gets spammed, apparently.

Olay, so let's have the discussion. Is Dara juicing?

No, but she's the covergirl for the latest fad: resisted stretching.
