Here is a blog post someone put up on Facebook. It's not mine or anyone I know.  What's your first reaction?

My first reaction was that his color scheme sucks balls.

My second reaction was...WTF is he talking about???

My third reaction was to scroll down to the bottom just in case he was actually trying to make a point, then got a good laugh about his comments on LA.

That doesn't mean you still shouldn't try to be a puma.

The first time I read it I either didn't see the footnote, or it wasn't there yet.  So, I assumed this was some really witty spoof that I just didn't get.  I read it about three times figuring the joke was on me.

Lance Armstrong, having never donned a speedo, would surely drown (or, take on a lot of water before finishing).

 

Umm.. Lance has done and/or does Ironmans I think he can probably swim fairly well.

Well, I'd like to be a puma eventually, but for now I'm a mix of baby doe and honey badger.

Spot on...

Terrible writer and the color scheme hurt my brain.

Plus LA was SUCH a good swimmer, he was even thinking about the Olympics in that.
