Good nickname, it beats ‘Network Inventory Andy’

It swims like ~1.5 miles, and believe the tide gives you another 0.5 miles.

Are you now the Scotsman of Alcatraz instead of the “Birdman of Alcatraz”?

Scotch Andrew huh? You just earned a new nickname at work! A hearty congratulations!! Pictures are great and it’s fun too see somebody taking on challenges that involve something besides moving a bunch of bits down a wire.

How long was the swim?

that is awesome. and scary. because of the sharks. You know, the ones that kept the PRISONERS from escaping. *shiver* kudos to the people who did this swim in a bikini. I don’t know what they heck they were drinking beforehand, but i have the feeling they probably shared a nip of it with “Scotch” Andrew post-swim.

Yay for all of you! This weekend I, uh, grilled some corn.

Andrew kicked some serious buttocks! I am “swimming challenged” so I admire anyone who takes on aquatic feats of this magnitude

Also being English, worse than being a Brit, I am with Maybelline Lisa on the use of “Scotch”. But, despite the correct use of English, bloody good show Scotch Andrew. I am sure he needed a couple after the swim.

In America, we know the drink is Scotch and the people are Scots. But try telling that to the English. They always have and always will call their former adversaries “Scotch”.

Yikes – my Edinburgh mother would have a highland cow. “Scotch comes from a bottle. People from Scotland are Scots.”
Congratulations to all those brave enough to attempt the challenge.
