Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(Smart idiots dope with their own blood.)
I expect that this will be detectable soon. The blood cells that you generated a year ago are slightly different than those you created last week, and new tools of proteomics should make it possible to tell when two populations of cells are present.
Phil Ligget on Vino:
...such a stupid action at a time the sport looked to be putting its own house in order. It is incomprehensible that Vinokourov could do such a thing when he must have known he was under suspicion because of his dealing with disgraced doctor Michele Ferrari in Italy. He must have known he would be tested at every opportunity and the time trial was the perfect occasion.
J.K. Rowling on the difference between Christians in the UK and the US:
"I had one letter from a vicar in England -- this is the difference -- saying would I please not put Christmas trees at Hogwarts as it was clearly a pagan society. Meanwhile, I'm having death threats when I'm on tour in America."
DH had a high school baseball coach that taught them how to blood dope (edited--using their own blood).
I'm trying to convince myself that Quaker's carmel corn rice cakes are a satisfying snack.
oohhh! interesting. why dont' they just bank their own blood beforehand?
eta: LOTS of xposty goodness
Two questions for the hivemind:
1) Leg waxing: How long do you grow the hair out before the waxing session?
2) Land's End beach thongs: Why do they smell so manky right out of the package and how do I get rid of the smell? They are stanking up my gym bag.
Ha! Manky!
I got nothing useful, though.
I just can't get my mind about wanting to win something badly enough to cheat. I mean, I'd always know I'd cheated, you know? I would never feel like I'd really done it, and if I'd devoted my life to being a professional athlete, I can't imagine not caring I hadn't really done it.
Signed, deficient in the imagination, and also prone to GUILT

whoa...we do not call flip flops thongs ever. Was very confused and grossed out by you not WASHING the "thong" before wearing it.. Also was pretty sure Land's End does not make that kind of thong for beachwear. Or possibly at all.
flea and lisah are both me, but in totally different domains. Whether this means they are also each other remains to be seen.
