I love the smell of chlorine in the morning

Because I accept (but don't understand) that not everyone will love the early 60s smoky environs of Sterling-Cooper, I offer my other current television obsession for your viewing pleasure: the men of Olympic water polo.No, I don't know if they are active members of the American team. Nor do I care.These hale and hearty lads are from Australia.If you've been watching (the underwater cameras!), you know it gets rough in there. And, ahhh, the Greeks, who, by all appearances, are living up to their reputation.All in a day's work.

I still sproing a woodie for that circa 70's Mark Spitz poster. Tall, dark and handsome with a Speedo and gold medals; what's not to like?

Though I hear he's a real asshat by today's standards.

So polo (water or otherwise) is not so much the sport of Kings, more the sport of Queens.

Andrew, those Greeks! They could stuff my gyro anytime. Or. Something.
