I'm a Polar Cub
So I just read about how Dave has now joined the polar bear club of Coney Island. SO this means that Niel, Mike V and Dave have all taken the cold plunge. Well you guys aren't the only ones who are hardcore. Just because I'm an indoorsman doesn't mean I don't do some crazy hardcore stuff. For instance...
Just this morning I got up and was brushing my teeth, getting ready for work. I ran some water over my toothbrush, and as I was brushing my teeth, some of the cold water dribbled down past my chin and onto my chest. Wow was that water cold. It was a full 3-4 seconds before I could grab a towel and dry myself off. It was the worst 4 seconds of my life. It was at that point where I passed out. Next thing I know, I was curled in the fetal position on the bathroom floor and Rachel was trying to wake me. Luckily I was only out for a few seconds. She was awakened by the thud as I hit the floor. I checked webmd, and if she hadn't found me so quickly, I could have suffered hypnothermia of the nipple. Oh sure you can laugh, but last year over 400 people worldwide died from overchilling of their jumblies. All 400 of them happened to live north of the arctic circle, but still.
Tonight, when I go home I'm gonna eat a bowl of ice cream really fast. Sure I could get a wicked brain freeze, but Im a bad boy, and Im willing to take my chances. There may or may not be photos of this at a later date.
You're not hardcore...UNLESS YOU LIVE HARDCORE!!!

Bahahaahahahahahah! That was a funny post.
I stand corrected :-)
Is there a requirement for how long you have to stay in the water to become an official member?
So your legs went numb. Scary. How bad was the shrinkage?
Wow that video is pretty crazy. So is this a one time thing for you, or will you do it again?
How did you do those boxes that highlight you in the pictures?
Dave next time you go you need to wear soem sort of neoprene boot. It made all the difference in the world the second time.
Mike you are out of control. And that song is back in my head ... thanks.
Niel
Which T-shirt did you get?
Free t-shirts? They are free right? I would do just about anything for a free t-shirt.
I got the same t-shirt. And it was still cold with the boots. But my feet were toasty.
