thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 So after a Games inspired early swim I tried a Brazilian coffee this morning and apparently 'Brazilian' in coffee parlance means 'we burn the beans' - so a quick trip to the bin and then home for the water polo. So I have a question for those in the know - I know the swimmers shave all their body hair off to avoid any interference/drag but why do water polo players? I noticed in the Brazil vs Aussie match that just finished everyone was shaved down. Normally you see a few hairy beasts in this sport and now they are all like hairless mole rats - except for facial hair?? Weird. Anyhow - just something I noticed as a lot of the shots of the Aussies at least in pre-Olympic competition shows a lot of hair. Maybe its to show off muscles better? So swimming is about to start - gold time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) I had quinoa porridge at a Portuguese cafe this morning - does that combine to create Brazilian? Nice to have some lunchtime swim finals to feast on. Go girls! Edited August 7, 2016 by Sir Rols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think it counts. Like every bloody cafe trying to pass off peri peri as Brazilian... I think I'll head into town to watch Ab Fab after the swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 There is a reason for that. While I may not win in the slalom canoe I know what brings the boys to my yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
