Swimming in syrup
The Groob Started conversation Sep 28, 2004
What do you think would happen if swimmers swam in a pool full of syrup rather than water?

Towels would be a mess wouldnt they?

Well since one of my favourite fantasies is having a bath in ice-cream, I'm rather turned on by the idea

Any ice cream or do you have a paticular flavour in this fantasy?

Mu Beta Posted Sep 28, 2004
I'm pretty sure Dai means 'does the ice cream have a particular flavour?'.

OK, "fantasy" means, I dont have to worry about practicalities like temperature, or the cost!
Chocolate or vanilla. But with no bits in.

So in this fantasy if you got a mothful of aforementioned substance would you spit or swallow?

Beatrice Posted Sep 28, 2004
Swallow, naturally!
(Isnt it handy that I have a bf who makes his own ice-cream?

Does it come in one of those handy self service dispensers?

*is very tempted to reply "No, it comes in pints!", but remembers that that's a different joke*

And what are you intending to do with the chocolate flake? Or the strawberry sauce poured ever-so-slowly over thew top?

Why are you taking ice cream into a cold shower?

Remember that liquid in the film Abyss that you could 'breathe'? If you could fill a swimming pool with that you could swim permanently under water. That would be a bit yucky because after it had been used for some time you'd be inhaling the product from someone else's lungs. Mind you, everyone knows that most swimming pools are full of kids' piss anyway.
