Flipper the Thorpedo

Ian Thorpe, Australian olympic swimmer…size 17 feet? holy shit…if the correlation is true…you just KNOW that this 17 year old kid has got to be getting more tail than a toilet seat

Feeling rather puny with my 10 1/2 dogs

Any dopers with big ass feet out there?

Size 17??? Is that metric or something? Holy cow, I’ll bet he looks like a giant “L”.

Sadly, in my experience there is no feet/penis size correlation. Big (well, small) disappointment…
:smiley:

And he’s a swimmer?
“Hey, that’s not fair, he’s using fins!”
“Uh, no I’m not.”
“Ooops.”

No wonder he gets through water so fast, with that kind of surface area he can probably just run on top.

yep…size 17…

I’m just thinking it’s all a part of human evolution… the guy is just built to swim. By Gawd, I’ve been watching the Olympics this evening, and the kid is remarkable.

BTW, I’ve got pretty big feet for a girl my height–I’m 5’5", and wear a size 10.

HA! I’ve got ya beat, JavaMaven1. I’m 5’2", size 10 shoes. Well, sorta tied at least.
[rant]Everytime I pick up a fashion mag and they’re raving about a strappy little Manolo Blahnik sling back pump I want to barf.
When spring comes around and shoe stores are filled with little bitty sandals I plod over to the Birkenstock aisle, hoping someday there will be cute shoes for not-so-cute feet.[/rant]
Thanks for letting me vent… :slight_smile:

Shoe manufacturers just figure that if we didn’t want to wear ugly shoes we wouldn’t have grown our feet so damn big. It’s our own fault.

(Size 11 WW - and I still can’t swim worth a damn)

…but I’ve done my own, albeit informal, survey of foot size to penis size, and I can say, after looking over several hundred, there’s no correlation between the two!

did I mention that I have MASSIVE hands, ladies ? :smiley:

If the foot/penis correlation was true you americans would also be complaining about him using a winged keel again to win in the pool too huh? :wink:

Gunslinger, LOL!! Thanks, I almost ended up with Diet Coke on the screen!

You too, Wolfman! :smiley:

Mamapotomus, I know what you mean, and I only wear a 9.5-10, depending on the shoe. And, I’m 5’7", btw.

InternetLegend, so that’s what’s wrong! It all makes sense now. :stuck_out_tongue:

Freyr: several hundred? :eek: I’m not sure I want to know why so many. How old are you, if I may be so bold?

beagledave, Hmmmm… No, you haven’t. Maybe it’s time you and I get to know each other… :wink:

dpr, buddy, that’s just mean! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, I have size 10 feet. [women’s shoes]

Damn, I’m sorry but I gotta stop watching the olympics soon. I already am having some sexual fantasy dreams about Ian Thorpe, and those twins on the men’s US gymnastics team.

And yes, he does look very nice in those swim outfits of his. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? If he wasn’t built so suitably to swim so well, then he wouldn’t swim so well, and he’d just be some ordinary guy.
