Transcript:
Mr. Spaetzle: It's going to be a gorgeous weekend for a bike ride and the lake is freezing! Frazz: But this is my first chance to swim open water. I've got lots of bike miles in. Mr. Spaetzle: When it was too cold for that and you could have been running! Frazz: It's okay if you don't understand it. Mr. Spaetzle: What's the point of survival of the fittest when the fittest endeavor to prematurely come a cropper? Caulfield: Okay, I didn't understand that.

He’s not trying to kill himself, just torture himself.

Since Frazz does Iron Man, he’s just doing what athletes who enjoy the grueling parts of that event have to do: constantly challenge themselves to master the most adverse conditions. I understand it; while admiring participants, I have to say it’s not my cup of tea to do!

In olden times: If you were a horseman and fell from your mount to the dirt, you “became a cropper” or one who raised crops.
