Move Over Tighty-Whities...

Sexy has a new name, and its name is SPEEDO.

I've been watching the Olympics pretty faithfully every night and just recently diving has been on. What an amazing sport it is to do all of those flip and turns and to do it all in a teeny-tiny spandex loin cloth.

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of the speedo. That is until just recently.

Daniel Craig, who played James Bond, did quite a nice job sporting the 'swim briefs' and I thought to myself, OK, not so bad.. alright, alright. Maybe some men can pull it off.

Now after watching the men's diving I'm pretty much sold on the speedo.

The speedo serves two purposes, to cut back on the waters drag during the entrance of the water and to look good while doing it. I find that the 'look good while doing it' part is of greater importance. I mean, how can one complain. Diving is really a beautiful sport.

But to be honest, what really sold me on the speedo was this,

This is probably one of my most favorite pictures of Nate. I dug this picture up from one of his old diving days. (I hope he doesn't kill me for this. I know how embarrassed he gets when I even mention the word speedo let alone post a picture of him in one.)

This picture was taken in '99 when he was part of a Puerto Rican swim team. His nick name use to be los bollos de acero which translates into to English as buns of steel (because he use to be able to crush a soda can just by flexing his buttocks). I usually just called him the Rack Attack(because his rack was so much larger then mine). Then Nate would do this funny thing where he would say, "Do you know where the Vet is?" and I would unknowingly say, "No, why?" Nate in return would reply, "Cause these puppies are SICK!" then he would flex his biceps and make them do a little bicep dance. So funny. Gets me every time.
