The Tour de Oprah (WT) (1 team of 1 rider) Live Thread

[blackcat]

A bit out of left field - or trying to cite someone about 700 posts back in the thread.

One line that keeps nagging at me is "I'll say ...", or something like that. The line was quoted way, way back in this thread - but not commented on.

Anyone else remember Floyd using the exact same construction ("I'll say no") to answer a pointed question about whether he had doped?

That was one of the most obvious doping fibs of all time. That Lance used the same construction was hilarious.

Dave.

plain speaking = truth.

weasel words, florid body language with arms and hands, turgid analogies, rhetorical devices "Why would I?", and especially the laughs = lies.


laughs = lies minus ten seconds before extemporized thoughts

Anyone starting a Part2 thread?

Um, why would that be necessary?

Who is wearing the leader's jersey in the Tour de Oprah? I say Oprah, she pulled him up on most things quite well. This is why I give her most aggressive rider. Points competition goes to Lance because he attacked people quite well who told the truth and was a very good sprinter when avoiding the truth or the question.

Nah, she pulled a hockey move.

Instead of taking away the jersey, she pulled it over his head, and then beat the crap out of him.

The fact that he actually beat the crap out of himself makes the analogy a bit more poetic license.

Dave.

never trust a man with no eyebrows.

A sixth child with no sperm.

I am sorry you dont believe in miracles.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Lance says he wasn't "forced" out. But it "hurt".

I hope everyone looks at this f*cker's face. Zero emotion. This guy doesn't care. About anyone. Except himself.

 

[blackcat]

dont worry, in Australian parlance, a'lotta' others "rooted" for lance too

 

[auscyclefan94]

Livestrong can't live without Lance. Livestrong is Lance, even based on his name.

Hello everybody for stage 2...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Calm down people. It was just one question on the Cancer. Livestrong is relevant to the cheating.

 

[boardhanger]

and so the armchair theorists, phycologists etc come to the fore again over this interview....

from CN oprah live

Just a few more minutes until the interview airs. Apparently, we are informed, Paramount Pictures has purchased the film rights to Armstrong's story. The NY TImes' Juliet Macur is writing the book. Looks like this won't be the last we hear from Mr. Armstrong.

He is such an inarticulate speaker. No intelligence, no depth. Listening to him has always been painful.

 

[blackcat]

rhetorical "I'm not gonna sit here and talk to you and lie"


rhetoric, = lies coming folkx

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Can Lance say "I'm sorry"?

Let's see.

 

[FellOff]

He did the classic sportsmans list-of-names-as-plurals thing

 

[Bosco10]

He is such an inarticulate speaker. No intelligence, no depth. Listening to him has always been painful.

That reminds me, did he drop out of high school?
