Bingo! There will never be another Lance, with the cancer story and all.
It's so Americana. I check in here once and a while, and I'm surprised that
there are any posts. Most people are not interested in foreigners, that are
vain, hiding blood bags, and are so idiosyncratic that they are of no
interest to most Americans. We as cyclists, can read through their rude
behavior, for example when Landis took that stage and he was angry and
shoving people around at the finish, we knew he had had a testosterone
hangover. To the casual observer they think he was just an asshole. That's
the word I was searching for, that is what most think these pro-cyclists
are.

From which one may conclude that a diet of pizza, andouillette and
doughnuts does not promote longevity.

However, much like being married to an accountant, the andouilette
will make it seem much longer.

Last night on the BBC (The Graham Norton Show) someone lamented about
andouillette, but only because of its appearance. No word on how it
tastes like shit.

However, it is a sign of RBR virility if you can carry eat your own
donuts while carrying two cups of coffee.
