2011 Snowdude MINI MEET

"DEEP PURPLE"

"Hey, Man!"

"WASSUP, DUDE!"

"NUTT'N MUCH, man!"

"COOL, dude."

"Heard the low-down on that Snowdude Mini Meet last weekend?"

"Yeah! Got a Tweet that it was TOTALLY AWESOME!"

"Some OLD dude in a purple coat with a fish on it told me that the team had 58% best times and that there were 41 first time swims!"

"SHUT UP!"

"Seriously, man!"

"AWESOME, dude!"

"Waaaaay AWESOME."

"That totally blows my mind when our "peeps" KICK IT like that."

"Right back at ya on that, man. RIGHTEOUS!"

"WORTHY"

"Yeah, TOTALLY worthy."

"There was this one dude, Jeff Gerber, that had 5 best times which was the best overall team performance of the meet. I forget what I.M. means but he dropped like a whole lot of time in it and also in the 100 Freestyle. Jeff even got some first place BLING in the 50 fly. He was totally smokin'. A blur dude, a real blur."

"WOW. I'm really feelin' that Aquaman vibe right now."

"Yeah, me too. That dude was a good swimmer too but the coolest thing was that he could talk to the fish with his mind."

"Wish I could do that."

"What? Breath underwater or telepathically talk to fish?"

"Both, man, both!"

"Carpe diem, dude! Then there were these other 3 tubular dudes and a rockin' "dudette" that had 3 best times."

"Lay it on me, man."

"Well, the dudette, Ellie Williamson, was a complete 'vision'. I mean she did awesome. Her best swim was in that 'I.M. thing' where you do a little of this, and a little of that, and hope you do it in the right order. Dude, I think I would need to "phone a friend" at each turn for directions. <snort>. Her 25 Free and 25 Back were not too shabby either."

"Deep, man."

"Nope, pool wasn't too deep, only a couple feet."

"Not the water, the scene, man, the scene!".

"Oh yeah, dork alert <gaff>, anyway, the 3 dudes, Gavin, Chase and Dylan...."

"Did you say DYLAN? I love DYLAN man! Why didn't you tell me he was gonna be there!"

"Wrong Dylan, dude!"

"Bummer"

"Sorry, dude, but these three guys brought the house down too! Gavin had a great 50 Backstroke and an impressive and X-treme first time 200 Freestyle. Chase was like SMOKE ON THE WATER. He dropped almost 11 seconds in three races. And your boy Dylan's times they were a changing after almost every race. He placed 1st in the 200 Free, and had 3 second place finishes in the 50 Fly, 100 Free, and 25 Fly.

"You're freakin' me out man."

"I'm freakin' MYSELF out, dude."

"Pretty Freaky".

".....................Yeah".

"Did you hear about those other 4 dudes too?" I think their names were like Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy and Farty".

"No Dude, those are the Dwarfs from that old movie. Not positive about the last one though?"

"You sure? I hear these guys were kinda under 4-foot tall!"

"Trust me, Dude, not the same dwarfs. I think their names are Max, Kyle, Joshua and Devon. Cool, laid-back kids and pretty tough in the water too."

"I heard the one little dude's dad is THE MAN, man!"

"The MAN-MAN?"

"No, just, the MAN."

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!" I heard about that spooky dude. I hear he is pretty scary and made a 5-year-old girl do 1000 push-ups for touching the wall with one hand on her butterfly turn and then sit on the bottom of the pool in the corner. They say he's horribly disfigured and doesn't get out much, but I hear he runs the show."

"DYLAN!!!!?????"

"No, dude, the Swim Team. He runs the SWIM TEAM! ..... duffus. Anyway, these four little non-dwarfical guys had a pretty gnarly performance too. Max had two best times in the 25 Breaststroke and 25 Backstroke with significant drops. Kyle lowered two of his best times in the 25 Back and 100 I.M. Joshua bettered two of his personal bests in the 25 free and 50 Back and that little dude, Devon (son of the MAN) had two of the top 3 largest time drops on the team in the 25 Free and 25 Back."

"Wow, way to go little dudes! I'm heapin some major pity on that little dude, Devon, though. <smirk> Wonder what those four had for breakfast? Maybe they could hook me up with some of dat stuff! Been feelin' a little slow motion lately, if ya know what I mean. Anyone else do some serious damage to their previous best times?"

"Of course, dude! There were a couple other totally awesome performances at the meet by some of the other Marlins crew. Dudettes, Regan Foley placed third in the 25 Breast, Mary Kominski was first in 50 Breast, 100 Free, second in the 200 Free and 50 Fly, and 3rd in the 25 Fly, and Lilah Reeder placed third in the 50 Free. The dudes 8 & under 100 Medley Relay Team of Dylan Major, Kyle Diederich, Jeff Gerber and Gavin Flanagan took first place honors with a totally trippin' team performance."

"Great job, man! Wish I would have seen it in person."

"Yeah, I hear ya. Not the same, dude, totally not the same."

"Gotta go man. Catch ya on the flip-flop. My old lady is callin'."

"Bummer!"

"You know it.......<sigh>"

"Word!"
