Maintaining a Memorial Day weekend tradition by sporting a new Speedo for the summer swimming season.
The Idiot broke in his seasonally new Speedo at the YMCA pool in Redding, CA, on Saturday morning (May 27) and will take it for a spin in Whiskeytown Lake at dawn on Memorial Day. Then into the Mediterranean Sea off Tunisia in September where it will gradually fade and be destroyed by the salt water.
