Actually a blanket slipped off the upstairs railing and knocked both off of a shelf onto the tile. It wasn't my blanket. I did not put the blanket on the railing. But because I was the last one to touch the railing, it's my fault.

Then, before the race is over, Lance tells everyone he's taking his marble to another team and everyone is invited except Contador. Now, he can't even seem to keep the rubber side down.

Then Lance accuses him of not being a team player. You think if he still had it he wouldn't have gone head to head with Contador and taken the jersey?

ray of @ email: @
E, here's my take on it. Lance asks Contador on the team promising him that the "strongest rider" will be the team leader. Then Lance, the experienced rider, uses his knowledge of crosswinds to screw his teammate and gain time over him. His plan is to gain yellow first and use tradition to keep Contador under wraps. Contador goes for the jersey and now he's a dick?

OH I know what Lance is doing. He's sitting in resting until the Pyranees thinking maybe just maybe he can hit it hard there and get a stage win. Doubt that very seriously. He needs to keep trying to go off the front so Levi can get a GC chance. GEEZ MAN!!! WTF??? This TdF SUCKS WET TWINKIES and DONKEY BALLS!!! They friggin GAVE Radio Shack that win (for the sponsors) the other day. I am 100% certain that was negotiated in the Peloton. If you think the that some noname dude is going to take 12 minutes on the Peloton as a breakaway your mistaken. They were friggin coasting while they were on the breakaway.

Lance is a giveup. First time in history that I can recall seeing him basically throw in the towel no matter what the deficit. When he gave that nod to that spectator after his thrid fall on that stage, I saw a part of him I have NEVER seen. A Give up. That single moment will be forever remembered by Cancer survivors, and fans alike. If I were him I would be riding like I had fire ants in my a$$! Off the front every day just to F with the GC leaders trying to shell them for a possible return to GC contention. But no. He's just like the other wienies in the peleton. B*tching about the cobbles being too dangerous and nutralizing the stage. THUMB SUCKERS!!! ALL OF THEM!!! 8)

I have a '97 QR. A kilo, I think. I can't remember. I just rode 60 miles on it a couple of hours ago. "It's not about the bike." :-)

Got nuthing to loose and you know he would shell ole Contador and those guys coming after him thinking he might get away. Just do it Lance! Geez you friggin give up! Go off the front every day from here on out!!! You got nuthin to lose and might even help out your real team leader Levi in GC. 8)

"The Shocker" and "Shaka". Two VERY different meanings. "The Shocker" (pronounced "The shock'r") was developed by a local Highschool (Plano East) as a symbol. 8)

Vacuming doesn't kill botts. Ya havta pin em down and put yer boot on their head when it's on a curb touching their teeth and then jump. Sometimes ya havta pour salt on em afterwards jus to be sure

JD - a vacuum cleaner works best when it's plugged in. :o)

OK, So does the vaccuum cleaner work better when being pulled or when it is pushed? 8)
