Man From Atlantis



I can't help thinking of this when I watch underwater shots of swimming phenom Michael Phelps...

No wonder is right. He's a swimming machine.

nanc said...

did you catch his diet? 12,000 calories a day!

"Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza."

nanc: Amazingly, Phelps burns all those calories daily.

Unknown said...

With all those carbs he eats he will have to keep moving even after he gets out of the water. Of course that may not be a problem with all the girls chasing him.

yeah Phelps does look like a dolphin.

But I don't remember watching that tv show with Patrick Duffy.

cube said...

jill: His life will never be the same after Beijing.

shover: I watched it. It was crap, but we watched a lot of crap back then.

I don't remember that at all, but my hubby has.

He said he always thought of it as live-action Aquaman without the royalties... And it sucked.

brooke: It was cool to see Patrick Duffy swim the way he did in the show. My daughter's been trying to swim like Phelps & Duffy. It's not easy.

Papa Frank said...

The only thing matching Phelps' talent is his arrogant demeanor.

cube said...

papa f: I've seen youthful exuberance, especially when putting the Frenchy relay team in it's place, but not arrogance. Can you give examples?
