Cazual Conversation

Surely the Squallers were jesting.

There was absolutely no way on God’s green earth that synchronized diving was an Olympic Sport. Heck, we can barely accept synchronized swimming.

But there they were last night, the loneliest people on the earth paired off like siamese twins separated at birth to perform for the masses.

There’s certainly nothing goofy about synchronized diving 

 I say lonely because there is no other explanation for what would drive someone to pursue that as a sport.

And I say lonely because as a youth, I could hang out with football players, soccer players, chess players and maybe even the math team, but you would never, ever, ever, ever, ever catch me hanging with the synchronized divers.

But what do I know about it? Not much, frankly, because about five minutes into the show the two Chinese divers embraced in their speedos and I was done.

It at least made it a bit clearer why they all insist on showering after each dive.
