    LOVE this!! especially #9 #18 #21 & #32! (btw Olympic swimmers don’t wear Speedos. As much as I wish they did.)

    • Estelle

      …Speedo is a brand, but many people use it to refer to a certain style of swimwear, so i know where you’re coming from.

      • Hailie

        Oh no I know, I just guessed because he didn’t capitalise the “s” that he meant the actual banana hammock rather than the brand. Besides which, most Olympic swimmers don’t wear the Speedo brand anyway, they wear Adidas or Jaked.

    • Veronica

      Mixed drink made with the cheapest liquor at the bar, and only one hard liquor at a time. (Google it, it turns out to be a common–but also commonly asked about–phrase.)

    I may make this a ‘to do’ list.
