US sport stores don't sell green speedos.

I swim daily in the gym's pool and needed a replacement for my old pair of speedos. The local sports mega-store at the local mega-mall only had black or blue speedos. I have been out of Australia for a while now, but I recall dark green speedos being part of the standard Auian store catalog.

Then again these days all the swimmers wear s-and-m gear that is a tight fitting coverall. Not quite the same as seeing a bronzen and broad backed male or female swimmer glide through the water.

I would have been up for a pair of dark green pair. Instead I got dark blue ones to keep my budgies safely smuggled.

  • For a moment I was deeply, deeply terrified that the last link was going to go to a picture of said smuggled budgies.

      It is illegal in five states; but not tasmania.
