Because breasts don't have eyes.

That's what you think. The back of our head doesn't have monopoly, you know.....

BigV · 08-20-2012, 12:46 AM

so we *are* looking into your eyes then?

why did you just hit me?!

ZenGum · 08-20-2012, 02:41 AM

I've been at a New Years festival where one woman had cunningly painted her large round breasts as eyeballs.

She caused considerable confusion.

To be on the safe side, I just looked at her neck.

Maybe we should get nipple tattoos on our eyelids?

footfootfoot · 08-20-2012, 01:30 PM

Risky. We might inadvertantly suck your eyeballs out during legitimate foreplay.

infinite monkey · 08-20-2012, 02:03 PM

Legitimate foreplay does not cause pregnancy.

footfootfoot · 08-20-2012, 03:25 PM

But may cause blindness

You can cross your arms and legs all you want, but that won't keep us from going blind from not looking you in your eyes.

Don't you put an aspirin in there or something?

monster · 08-21-2012, 10:20 PM

Um.... back to the ridiculously expensive...... *gulp* $185 for a 4-hour coaching/tryout for the Olympic Development Water Polo Program. SG is being solicited, but it is "open to all" -which I heartily agree with- but $185 kinda makes it not open to all? No? I understand they need to charge to ensure that "free child minding and coaching" is not the message..... but that's a hard price tag to swallow. (100 for the tryout, 85 for USAWP reg. For comparison, USA swimming is $54 for reg, but you only have to register to compete.)

Clodfobble · 08-21-2012, 11:15 PM

Yeah, but ever since I learned that the government pays for gold medals, it seems like a much more reasonable investment.

If she does Olympic Development Water Polo, does this mean she won't be doing Olympic Development swimming? And is this a national thing you just happen to be lucky enough to live near, or are there multiple programs in major cities, or what?

monster · 08-21-2012, 11:30 PM

Well she kinda did ODP swimming a couple of weeks ago, but there isn't a specific program. They don't need one, all club teams are "ODPs"

Multiple programs, but by three-ish states (Mich, Ill and Ohio in our case) Yes, she kind of has to choose at this point. Except she's just not ready to choose. She's 14. She's played WP for less that a year..... and it's swim season now and her coach is holding her up as a model and she feels awesome about swimming......and she's swum for 8 years.... the coach who told her real swimmers don't play polo.... the coach who we would keep it secret from if we could but unfortunately her daughter is also being solicited and the polo peeps don't know how to use bcc......

but that's off topic. $185 is nuts for a try-out, no? Maybe i should make her wear all that expensive underwear underneath her suit?
