    Word on the street is that in Stanley Market … if you buy a Mr. Bean T-Shirt, you'll get a Lebron jersey thrown (literally) in. Hey Lebron: "Be water, my friend." B.

    Doping In Athletics

    Yes … but that potential advantage is negated, in turn, by "Clinic Drag" … the slowing down (of the athlete) in anticipation of The Clinic putting the boots to a commendable athletic performance. Think Merck Index had the formula up some time back. Or maybe it was FMK or BB. Can't remember.

    Question Should triathletes be allowed on bikes?

    Ahh, c'mon Brown Bobby … the likelihood of that story is like the likelihood of you doing a one day three-peat of all roads up and down 'the big windy.' Time to wake up and smell the lavender, brutha!

    Re: Re: [/b] Correction. YOU want him to want to be forgiven and rehabilitated. Stop fooling yourself into thinking you’re somehow in the driver’s seat. Quicksand.
