If you are a lot like me then you tend to have a hot key link straight to the forum and never see the front page.
I grew up watching guys like Pablo Morales and Mel Stewart swim my favorite stroke, butterfly. It’s good to see Herbert nab Mel for an i-view and even better to see that Mel’s still got his off the wall humour going for him.

"ST: Is there anything else we should know about you?
Mel: I believe in aliens. I have way too much back hair, ear hair, and all around the neck hair. I believe in a low-low-low-sugar diet. My father was the assistant to Jim Bakker, the head of PTL/Heritage USA, a Christian Talk Show turned 24-hour Christian Network turned Christian City (until Bakker went to prison). I also want to do a talk show, like Jim Bakker, but for Olympians. (I’ve wanted to since I was a small child, growing up watching Jim Bakker do his talk show.) I think swimming needs a pro-series. (If bull-riders can get a pro-series on TV, we can!). I think Ian Thorpe, while incredibly great, was overrated. I think Michael Phelps is under-rated, despite the overwhelming fame and 8 gold medals. (In sum, Phelps could go faster!) I’m a scorpio. My favorite color is green, but I don’t like to wear green, just look at it. I especially like British Racing Green. I love-love-love mashed sweet potatoes, but hate answering that question because I’ve never been 100% sure about the spelling of the word potatoes and fear a VP Quayle back-lash… How’s that? Peace-out!"
