SCUBA Girl
FOUND by Kira Arnold
in Trumble, Connecticut
I found this picture outside of a CVS. It looked a little beaten up, so I figured I would send it in rather than letting it get destroyed.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
+ You did it! Congrats to our FOUND friends involved in the Best Picture of 2009, The Hurt Locker!
+ FOUND #7 coverboy Willis Earl Beal, now in t-shirt form!
"And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!"
Nice matching set. My fins are pink (everyone in the shop said purple, so I bought them. everyone I've seen since says "nice pink fins". stupid sales people) and my mask/snorkel is yellow. i have mask/snorkel/fin-matching envy.
talk about over prepared for a simple dip in a pool
it's one o'clock in the morning. what are you guys doing?
An extra from the star wars bar scene.
Hooba Shlacka, that girl is cute.
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Too much time watching movies with my kids.
I want to be there so much right now, chilling in the pool having an awesome time in the sun, instead of being stuck here in gloomy Wales with the flu and a 10 hour shift to look forward to :(
@ Geek: how can you tell with all that scuba mumbo jumbo over her face?
I think her feet are too big. And blue to boot (no pun intended).
And why is there the magnify option on this find?
And why is the image getting smaller when I actually click the magnify button?
And why did I actually bother to click the magnify button when I didn't see the reason for it in the first place?
Ah, the questions I raise today ^^
A month from now this girl will be snorkling off St Thomas, but first she'll have to suffer the humiliation of testing out her going-away presents in the Grandma's condo pool.
Thank you Grammy.
Boredd Da, Darkshines! I knew there was something special about you. I'm half Welsh myself. (I've probably misspelled it, but the sentiment is good.)
Swim flippers always gave me terrible cramps in my feet. I never did learn to swim properly. And now that I live reasonably near the ocean, I wish I had.
(Re: the picture...uh, thunder thighs!)
It really IS true what they say about the size of your feet and the length of your snorkel!
HAHAHA, Librarian. I was trying to think of what I could add to these posts, and then I read yours. Made me spew coffee out the nose (luckily, I missed the keyboard).
Ah..what a great way to start off my day.
@ darkshines, hope you feel better
baby basil, those are not thunder thighs. You want she should walk around on toothpicks?? Those are the well muscled thighs of a 13 year old swimmer. It's people who pick on developing girls that give them complexes and cause them to be anorexic and/or bulimic and doubt their beauty. Shame on you!
I should have such shapely thighs!
This picture came from a camera found in the belly of a large shark....
@ Grumpy: 13 years old????? I retract my initial reaction lest her father tracks me down. She's a very nice young lady. Too bad about the shark Hiplainsdrifter mentioned.
@ librarian, for the second day in a row, thank you for the from the diaphram laughing.
@ hiplainsdrifter, i was just recovering from librarian's post and yours made me laugh even harder. 'you're going to need a bigger boat,' is one of my all-time favorite movie lines.
this brings back memories of scuba diving with my brothers who all thought it was the height of hilarity to either cover my snorkel or splash water down it.
Here Here Grumpy.
Nothing thunderous in this picture.
Actually I heard she was a rotten little kid and her parents took her snorkeling and ditched her...
I like the way the damage makes it look like the sky is water. We all think she is standing by a pool in the air, but she has actually found one of those weird underwater lakes.
@Darkshines and Baby Basil--My ancestry is Welsh, as well! But I don't know any cool words to type like Baby Basil did.....
I wish I was in Wales snorkelling with the flu.
I just wanna hook scuba girl up with tuba guy from a while back (yeah, I know it's not a tuba.. but I really like the sound of scuba girl and tuba guy)

("it's not a tuba" reminds me of Ahnold on Kindergarten Cop. sorry. I'm way too tangential today. wtf. it's Friday!!)
I have a friend whose daughter is at her state championship swim meet TODAY, so this Find is perfect! Rock-n-roll, girl!!
Whenever I have the flu I feel like someone has stoppered my snorkel anyway. The fever always tightens up my chest and I feel like I'm drowning; can't take a deep breath.
I used to know a girl they called Thunder Thighs...it was a complement. Apparently (according to my brother) any boy lucky enough to get between them felt lightning strike and then the thunder rolled.
(Cue a chorus of "Oh What a Night" by Frankie Valli):
"I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
If those are thunder thighs, then mine could cause a natural disaster. Sheesh.
Also, that's snorkeling gear, not SCUBA gear. No regulator, no BC, no tank there.
The colors are beautiful, so vibrant!
I have to wonder - does Kira Arnold actually live in Trumbull, or is that just where she Found this? 'Cause she spelled it wrong.
@ Flargy ... thanks for pointing that out, it's been bothering me all day.
(Or is it a local joke that folks in Trumbull make?)
Baby basil??? WTF????
Kills me how y'all latch onto one little phrase in a comment and pillory that person. "Shame one you"--isn't that a little thick for one comment? And yet Hiplainsdrifter doesn't even get a reaction for calling this a "rotten little kid." No shame there, evidently.
What I wonder is why she seems to be leaning forward toward the camera...is she about to fall over? And what's the yellow rubber bracelet about? Package holiday maybe, one of those resorts where you have to wear one.
Being called "thunder thighs" is probably one of my worst fears!
anyway, i've never had the flu before!
actually, in relation to the lower part of her body, this girl has HUGE shoulders- I'll bet she's an excellent swimmer, and can do that butterfly stroke like nobody's biz.
The yellow bracelet might be one of those "support our troops" band-type bracelets.
How come so many people spew liquids out their nose all the time? seriously.
Oh nose!
Scuba girl and Tuba boy
swimming together
spewing coffee out their noses
laughing at Found comments early
in the morning.
Yellow bracelets are usually "LiveStrong" bracelets in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Sick and tired, it was my comment you took exception to and I have every right to make it, just as much as you have the right to deem said comment as "thick". Blow me.
Where did the 2nd person who got out of the pool go? the splashes just kind of end, did he/she levitate away?
Maybe she was leaving and the photographer asked her to turn around and come back to pose... maybe she's leaning forward in an offensive pose...
maybe there was some confusion over what thunder thighs are. my first thought was, nice legs!
second thought, why is the pool so empty? haven't been in the water in two months now!got gipped/gypped/jipped out of having that offical last swim.
third, incredible indigo sky. beats this post-leaves pre-snow drizzly grey.
@ Effie:
It's like in a Spongebob Squarepants cartoon. They're underwater, but they can still throw water balloons or cry or pour glasses of water when necessary for the plot line. There's even one episode where Spongebob is a lifeguard at an underwater beach with an underwater ocean... and he's afraid of the water because he can't swim. Makes no sense. But Spongebob usually doesn't.
therein lies its beauty, Pastor Z.
@Pastor Z-Spongebob can also make fires underwater.....Greatness.
