• I jumped on board thinking if this took off (which it did), I could phish for SSN and credit card info. Heigh-ho...

  Rim shot!

  You know, there was bike racing today, Gilbert is off to another fast start

  Delenda est Alberto (my new sign off, unless / until wiser heads prevail)

  I don't wanna screw up the pretty chart. Can you add 1 kid to my data? Gracias.

  Regarding bike racing, anyone going to the London Olympics? cyclingnews has the ticket prices for the cycling events. Which leads to this question: How do you charge for tickets to a road race?

• Way too much fun to join in. I like telling people I'm trying to lose a couple kilos when they're carrying a paunch.

  Is everyone a giant on this site? I clock in at the shortest 4cm! Still trying to figure out how Jeff is only 63.5kg. Short of defaulting on a few loans from Shylock, there's no chance I get there.

  Wow, just when I think you can't screw up any more than you already have, you go ahead and do something like this...AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.

  The only problem with that rebuild - which rules, btw - is that it doesnt have the right bars. Merckx rode super deep drop bars. Probably hard to find these days.

  I love that site. Blown way too many hours of m lIfe over there.

  I think @Jeff in PetroMetro is using imaginary numbers in his arithmetic. You know, like eleventeen and thirty-twelve.

  @Jeff in PetroMetro
  At the winter olympics in Vancouver, they were charging for stadium seats at the finish or on the circuit. Must be what they're doing there. Haven't looked at the route, but they might even be able to control the course enough to only allow access through ticketed locations. That would suck ass.

  Of course, that was another thing our friend Pharmstrong was doing besides paying off the UCI - trying to control access to longer and longer sections of the finale. It would be a shame to spill all those expensive drugs on the street when you get some road rash.

• @mcsqueak
  I laughed. I've also used Lynx and didn't have to follow to a description, what does that say?
