sonicfrog said...: Yeah Edwards, great timing, riding with a guy who has been suspected of using performance enhancing drugs to win at least some of his Tour de France titles, while at the same time riders are being ejected from the current race due to doping and using performance enhancing drugs.

Your campaign is sputtering and you're worried about about your sore butt?; 7/26/07, 10:27 AM
sonicfrog said...: Oh, and has this guy never rode a bike before? Yeah, bicycle seats ARE less compfy than a lawyers leather chair! Is Edwards having his "Kerry duck-hunting" or "Dukakis-in-a-tank" moment?

PS. I always picture lawyers sitting in really swank leather chairs. It's how they are on TV and in the movies. Ann, do YOU HAVE, or have YOU EVER sat in, a swanky leather chair? :-); 7/26/07, 10:35 AM

2. Buy a leather saddle. I recommend Brooks.; 7/26/07, 10:52 AM

KCFleming said...: The best question, by a 10 year old boy, of Armstrong:
I asked him, 'How you go pee on the Tour de France?'

Man, what a kid, asking the question only a kid would ask. Hilarious.; 7/26/07, 11:12 AM

...isn't he just a bumpersticker now anyways?; 7/26/07, 1:26 PM

Would you want to date someone who only uses two sheets of TP to wipe?

riding with a guy who has been suspected of using performance enhancing drugs to win at least some of his Tour de France titles

Everyone is suspected. Armstrong has never tested positive. Not even a false positive.

'How you go pee on the Tour de France?'

Man, what a kid, asking the question only a kid would ask. Hilarious.

EVERYONE asks that question. The answer is, you unclip from one pedal, have a buddy steady your bike, use your free hand and well you know the rest. Oh and be polite and make sure no one's behind you. Unless he's a French rider.

10-12 mph! Pokey

I would use another word but that's close. My 9 year old can move faster than that.; 7/26/07, 2:57 PM
