No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up. - Lily Tomlin

No wonder the hapless Texan looked so put upon when they made them take them off.

What kind of idiot doesn't get approval? One who thinks he can get away with anything he wants because he is sooo important.

Who is Alphonse?

alphonse is the chubby assistant to lance in the Radio Shack commercials, but my theory is that Alphonse locked Lance in a closet and has gone to the tdf in his Lance Armstrong costume.

Will the peloton even be give the same time as Cav!?

I was getting annoyed that they kept with the side shot but then Cav went past.

That acceleration is really something else.
