"Everyone thinks we're crazy"- the MSF t-shirt?
![loneswimmer](https://forum.marathonswimmers.org/uploads/userpics/866/n27TE3PH5K3HE.jpg)
In the new member and motivation threads, variations of this quote continue to arise. I doubt there's one of us who hasn't heard it.
Good for the MSF motto, tagline or hypothetical t-shirt?
Come on, throw some more out here.
I could do this for a while but we have a lot of resident comedians here, so let's hear them!

You're not a marathon swimmer 'til you've puked while swimming
Marathon swimmers do it for a long time/while wet/in the water
Marathon swimmer: That's not fat, it's bioprene.
Marathon swimmer: I'm just do it for the food
Marathons Swimmer: No, I actually like Dover

I don't need a wetsuit. I'm acclimatized
We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
I marathon swim so I can eat ice cream after every meal

It's always a bad hair day when you work at a pool.
you fly
I'll swim
I don't wear a wetsuit; it gives the ocean a sporting chance.
Not bad
No turns no lanes that
you don't need
Marathon Swimming's one
Bada$$ed Deed!
Yes, I'm a marathon swimmer, so before you ask:
1) No, I've never been bitten by a shark, or even seen one.
2) No, she didn't. At best it was assisted and at worst it was a total fraud.
3) No, I don't know her and if I did, I wouldn't admit it.
4) No, I don't even own a wetsuit.
5) No, we don't stop and get in the boat to rest.
6) No, not even to go to the bathroom.
7) No, I've never bumped into a dead body in the Hudson River.
8) No, triathlon swims aren't marathon swims. They're warmups.
9) No, my ex left me for another woman, but since it didn't disrupt training/racing I got over it quickly.
10) Because I really wanted to be a psycho-killer, but wasn't sane enough.
If it has to be a one liner, then:
Marathon Swimming: Because I really wanted to be a psycho-killer, but wasn't sane enough.

Note: For those of you who didn't go to high school in a monastery like I did (yeah, the Jewish guy did high school in a monastery), "prodesse quam conspici" is Latin for (roughly) "To accomplish rather than be conspicuous" or possibly "To accomplish inconspicuously."

It's not a triathlon without the bike.
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

@loneswimmer, @evmo, is the picture of the swimmer in The Channel trademarked or copyrighted or whatever?

Total coincidence, but I'm currently in the process of getting a new logo designed, which we could use for apparel & such. I should be ready to unveil it next week sometime.
Re: CafePress, I've personally found their stuff to be of low (or at least inconsistent) quality, so if anyone has alternative suggestions, please speak up.

Once they have your artwork you can set up a store and people can order the logo on anything they want: shirts, jackets, towels. They often have good sales as well.
MSF, Where all the COOL amphibians are at.
Amphibians of the world, UNITE!
I'm free of your Terrestrial Centrism.
Marathon Swimming, The flame that feeds on water.
You: H2O. Me: H20km.
My other car is a bathing suit.
You: Going 20 miles to the beach. Me: Going 20 miles FROM the beach.
Where "frequent flier" is a term of admiration.
Because knowing "how much further" is too easy.
It *is* about the suit. :-)

@JenA,
I fixed your spelling error above.

THE BRITS ADD U TO IT

That's good stuff.
