The Passing Of An Olympic Torch


While global praise continues to be heaped upon the mighty serpent of Lake Phelps, let's all tip our aquatic goggles to Mark Spitz.

Until Phelps blew away China, Spitz had been recognized for the past thirty-six years as the greatest Olympian of all time, after earning seven swimming gold medals during the 1972 Munich games.

Spitz is a total dude, and I suggest that we'll never really know which of these fish was better in their prime.

Consider this fact; uniformed as Aquaman, Phelps didn't have to compete wearing a banana hammock and a soggy mustache.

Plus Spitz can take care of all of our Dental needs. Vote's still out on what Phelps will be able to do with his 2nd career!
