meowzers, I think this is the list you were looking for.

You know you're a Hardcore Dragon Boater when...

Top ten signs that you're a Hardcore Dragon Boater:

10. After a meeting at work, you form a line outside the boardroom and high-five everyone as they file out.

9. Brother's wedding or the Dragon Boat Festival? Why, that practically answers itself.

8. When stopped at an intersection, you see a car creeping over the solid white line and yell, "man in the red Ford "back it down or you're disqualified!"

7. You have calluses on your ass and palms the size of quarters

6. When running with your friends to catch the last train home from work, you yell "series in 3*2*1".

5. You are starting to resemble the body shape of a gorilla.

4. You know what a heart attack feels like already.

3. You argue with a 90 year old lady who is sitting in the middle of the bus, claiming that you always sit in the 'engine room'.

2. After a bout of lovemaking with your significant other, you say 'let it run'

1. You have finally found something that smells worse than your hockey bag...PADDLING SHOES!

In college, I had a roommate who was an Olympic White Water Kayaker. His kit reaked of mild-dew. I thought it was the worst until my paddling shoes worked up a good stink. Actually, my wife won't allow the paddling shoes in the house!

Ten reasons to date a dragonboater:

10. We can bring the rate down... or power it up.
9. We know how to "take you away", in three.. two..
8. We don't just use our arms, we put our back into it too.
7. We like stroking harder.
6. We love going deeper.
5. We get loud and excited when we're ready, and when we're almost there.
4. We have the endurance to last all day.
3. We bury our hands until they're soaked
2. We're not afraid of ending up salty and wet.
1. Finishing feels SO damn good.
