I took my son to his swimming lesson the other day and I happened to notice the logo on some of the kids' speedos:
Speedo Logo
And I realized that it was strangely similar to the Earth Starfleet logo shown on the shoulder patch here:
Starfleet Logo (Sorry, this was the best picture I could find.)

I wonder if that's where they're getting all their nifty blue underwear? [Big Grin]

Not to drag you guys kicking back on topic, but...

I'm beginning to think there's more of a connection between Archer's love of Starfleet and his preoccupation with water polo. I mean, he only has to buy one pair of swim trunks, right? [Big Grin]

Did anyone see on the Sydney 2000 olympics coverage of the Mens (and women's) waterpolo - they had below - the water shots. The players are all groping genitals and ripping swimming togs!!

Some girls went through several items of swimwear throughout the heats!!

Maybe this is Archer's fascination? [Smile]

I used to play in high school and a bit in college. Brutal sport. Football players get pads. And but so the point is that you'd NEVER only wear one speedo. Kind of a bit like ice-bergs. Only a tenth of the sport is played above the water. Ironic because that's where the ref is.

I think Speedo makes more swimwear than just those thong-like things they're normally associated with.

What is it with people in America and their association with "Speedos"? Speedos are togs, swimmers, bathers what ever - they are worn everywhere in Australia - especially in swimming... cause when you're racing - what the hell else are you going to wear? Pantaloons? Swimming shorts are for those who are either afraid of the size of their man-hood or their sexuality.

Or for those who realize that not everyone wants to see them as close to naked as is legally possible...

Speedos aren't for those trying to hide their excitement...
