Can I become a dolphin?

edited January 2014 in The bottom bracket
I watched 'Spy in the Pod' last night and I really really want to be a dolphin now. Is there a course I can do to qualify as a dolphin? I've tried Googling it but I can't get any decent information.

    Forgot to say, I'd prefer to be a Bottlenose.

    stage one is to practice catching live fish in your mouth and swallowing them

    once you've mastered that, post a video showing your hot fish action

    then the next stage on your journey to dolphin will be revealed

    Would you like us to just cut to the chase and kill you slowly due to being entangled in a fishing net?

    Just pop along to your local aquarium and jump right in, just make sure it's not the shark tank :wink:

    Then practise jumping out of the water and spin round and round to try to shake off annoying parasitic fish that have attached themselves to your groin area.

    Perhaps you could start with something that's a bit better documented, like becoming a horse?:

    I'd be happy to give you a blow hole.

    That sounds wrong, I mean with a drill.

    Giving him a drill doesn't sound a lot better :wink:

    Right then. Phase 1 started today. I spent 3 hours in a cold bath trying to catch a goldfish without using my hands. It was surprisingly difficult, and I got very wrinkly.

    Well done GM, sounds like phase 1 was a success.

    As part of your transition, especially as you are pre op transdolphin, I've found you a suit to help get you in the mood.

    He does look happy though :?
    Hey, you've not been "swimming" with him have you? :(

    That is scarily realistic

    wearing that won't make you a dolphin, it'll make you a yiffing furry, that's a rather different lifestyle!

    Be careful in that suit - you need to spray it with a waterproofing spray every few days or it will become waterlogged, very heavy, and drag you to the bottom of the bath. Many pre-op transdolphins have died this way.

    Not much help, but I had a date with a dolphin once.

    We just clicked.

    Just so you know what might be ahead of you, here are some detailed notes from someone who has clearly progressed well beyond Phase 3: https://web.archive.org/web/20040126120 ... insex.org/

    You'll have to master the ability to sh*t on others' heads and pass it off as a compliment !

    Already do that whenever I write an annual performance report

    That should get the lady dolphins wet. Well, wetter.

    I understand there's an op that you can have; a Dolphinoplasty.

    I've changed my mind. Watching this week's episode it looks a lot like last week's. I think it might get a bit boring. They just see to swim, eat and jump about a bit.

    Don't give up too soon. I've done a little research and it appears Dolphins don't have collar bones. Could be a plus for crash happy cyclists.
