! I mean, 15 minutes in that cold water? That's even colder than my grandma's heart after her favorite TV show gets cancelled 
. But seriously, props to George and Jesy for taking the plunge... or should I say, dive? 
Anyway, it's always exciting to see people pushing their limits and having fun in the process. And hey, if you're into that sort of thing, more power to ya! 
. I mean, George and his wife Jesy must be super brave or something 
. I guess if you're into that sort of thing, go for it? But personally, I'll stick to my warm bath at home, thank you very much 
) for trying this. But hey, if they want to set a record and have fun with it, more power to them! I think I'd rather stay warm and cozy by the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee 
️.
at least they're getting a record or something 
i dont get why people do this kinda stuff, are they all gluttons for punishment? 
That's dedication to setting a record! You gotta respect people who push themselves like that. And can you imagine the rush they felt? 
I've done some weird stuff with my friends too, but this takes it to another level 
he and his wife Jesy Grose r like total heroes for doin that 
I mean, I guess if you're into that sorta thing, but for me, it's just a bunch of noise.
It's like they want to clutter up the forum even more. And what's with all these events listings? Are people really gonna read about every single birthday party and potluck dinner in the city? 
I mean, I guess if you're into that sorta thing...
. Can we move on to something more interesting now? 
. 15 minutes in that icy water? Please, I've had worse winters... as in, no winter at all 
...
i mean, who needs fancy new websites when you've got a great crossword puzzle section like that?
