Polar Bear Plunge Pics

[solowgregg]

A few friends and I did the Polar Bear Plunge last Saturday and here are some pics. We all wore drysuits so that we could blow them up and look all "michelin manish". Lot's of fun for a great cause (Special Olympics). We raised a total of $675. And before anyone calls me a cheater for wearing a drysuit I'll have you know that I unzipped it after I jumped in. Not only did I get wet and freeze but I took about 10 gallons with me (in the legs) when I got out. Enjoy.

Wow! Check out those muscles. I'm in the middle.

I won't call you a cheater, I'll call you a pussy! :rofl: When I did my Polar Bear Plunge it was in Lake Michigan, ice chunks floating everywhere, I ended up with 7 stitches in my leg from falling onto an ice hunk. Still, good job Gregg

It was similar to this, but with massive ice and slush floating around:

However for the record, I'll never do it again.

Yeah we don't have anything like that around here. The Ohio river is definitely not an option as it's extremely polluted, I'd come out of that thing with a third arm.

You don't have your bird anymore? How long ago was it taken? How do you know it was taken and didn't just fly away?

He was stolen around my wedding there was a ton of traffic in the house but surprisingly when he disappeared he was in his cage, wings were clipped for safety, with only the servants having access to it hence the wife's theory of him being stolen.

She went out and got two more gray parrots add that to the pair of macaws, a goffin and a ring neck makes for jurrasic park in my crib.

Bummer, sorry to hear that, I can't imagine stealing someones pet! I mean it'd be much easier if they just asked you for it, hell I'd rather give it to them then have them steal it.

I hear you man the wife had raised him since he was a hatchling was pretty attached to him and he was quite a prolific talker too had a vocabulary of around a 100 words and made a lot of sense most of the time.. e.g. he would wish me good morning when I got outta my room, had breakfast with me and said good bye when I left the house. Also one time I had my cousin over who's quite fat and chickoo outta the blue starts yelling "fatso" completely random smart little things they be.

Damn servants!!! I hate it when mine do that. What's worse is when they forget to being me wine goblet!
