Lochte, who is as silly in public as he swears Phelps is when around his inner circle

Heh. I love that. I wanna hang out with Ryan so bad. He better be at SNL with MP. DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH.

And yay for MP finally going home to Baltimore on Sunday. I'm sure he can't wait. Go play with your puppy, bb. Then take a week-long nap.

The great STDed, womanizing, asshole Michael Phelps doesn't need sleep. He apparently needs to go to the doctors, anger management, and a therapist for the ego and to learn how to treat women right.

Fuck sleep.

[grungepuppie]

why would you say those things :(

[flvy]

Sarcasm. I'm not the one saying those things bb don't worry.

He just needs an endless supply of babes as his energy source. Otherwise, he will go back to causing earthquakes, kicking puppies and giving Chuck Norris hourly roundhouse-kicks.

Ahhh, idk. He's totally tuckered-out, he needs some of Heath Ledger's softer gear and a teddy.

oh, and Coughlin is such a sweetie. What a shame not all the swimmers have her taste and decorum.

"Lochte, who won bronze medals in both individual medleys and was on the 4x200 freestyle relay with him"

FAIL NEW YORK TIMES. Why did you not mention that he won gold in the backstroke?! My bb totally deserves his dues where he can. And poor Phelps. Seriously, he needs to go home and sleep for a week.
