    Does anyone know of a dock/speaker setup with a wireless/waterPROOF remote that you can swim with (put it in that little keys and $$ pocket in swim trunks) so you can just listen to your iPod and skip and/or adjust volume from the pool? I know it's a bit specific to ask for, just hadn't seen much that way...

    No, it doesn't work; I always got zero results vacuum packing my meat. Don't be fooled by the advertising.

    Personally, I prefer playing Dodgeball with rocks and paving stones. I remember pegging my buddy in the back of the head.

    And the advantage to having your music play from a battery powered, mono speaker gurgling about in your swimming pool is...what ? I think I'll stick to a set of outdoor stereo speakers, fully powered, and buy a 99¢ beach ball for the pool.


    That is, if I had a pool.

    @McLucky: They are a a "toy/game" you can purchase: [secure.poolcenter.com]



    They have a small weight and holes in them, so when you throw them in the pool, they float then sink. When you open them, they have a number inside. It's supposed to be a fun thing. Long story short, my Ex threw one towards me, and I was just coming out of the water and taking a breath, and she hit me square on my front teeth, cracking one off up to the gum, and the other halfway. No blood no nothing. The oral surgeon removed the half one, so I have no front teeth now, except a set of falsies.

    @MormonChristmas_GitEmSteveDave: Thats a pretty awful series of events, but I can't help but laugh a little bit.


    No offense to you, but the suffering of others (not full blown suffering/death/dismemberment, but simple, emotional and "cartoonish" suffering that everyone experiences to some degree or another) cheers me up a little bit. The chipped teeth is nice, but the whole blind guy thing.... Now that's George Costanza-like suffering that we can all get behind for a good chuckle.


    Hope you're over that now.

    I sometimes think I will one day pull the stunt George did at the apartment selection meeting where he lays out his life for them b/c the other guy says he was on an ocean liner that sank.


    Oh, and just so you know, it's called "Schadenfreude".
