I want to go to ComicCon, but I cannot.

I'm scared of having my eyebrows done. Last time I looked like Joan Crawford.

The question makes me think about it - I used to feel like an imposter, but I don't anymore. Not sure why. Oh, wait - I do, but not about my job. I feel like I'm faking being a smart well-educated person.

I just feel like getting caught is really dumb

The perfect example of this is Floyd Landis who knew, if he won, he'd get tested. IIRC, he has tested clean earlier in the race, but on the day he won, tested positive for something that didn't work so immediately. (maybe testosterone?)

eta: I'm curious what ya'll think of Lance...so much better than anyone and never tested positive for anything. Naturally gifted or just smarter than the rest? Personally, I wanted to believe he was clean, but it's a little hard to do.

All yours, amych.

Cycling, especially European cycling, is absolutely rife with doping. I think they, even more than baseball, are getting to a point where they're going to have to figure out something more creative than Just Say No as a response. Personally, I think they actually need to ease up on a lot of their restrictions, like with blood doping. Otherwise it's going to destoy the sport.

But as someone with a shot at winning stages, you've got to be a dumbass to keep it up - you know you're going to be tested.

I'd be surprised if Lance was entirely clean, but not at all suprised if he was a shitload more careful than a lot of these guys.

I drove past this crash yesterday. Had no idea who it was--they had to cut the roof off his car to get him out.

KO thinks Lance isn't clean at all. I forget what he said, but it was very snarky and skeptical(that is rather his default, however)

"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."

No doubt that American Christians are crazier, but the English request is pretty comical, considering that the Jule tree is a pagan practice that was absorbed by the Christian church. Requesting that there be no Jule trees at Hogwarts is like demanding that the local synagogue stop talking about Abraham because he is a Christian figure.

That is so very rude of your Dyson!

I support eyebrow doing in thought. There's a continent preventing the practical.

It's really rather dark outside and it is discombobulating.

I remember watching the Tour with my dad before I was aware of all the shenanigans. Now I look and...I can't care. The poor sportsmanship on the parts of those who have been caught or are strongly suspect in recent years ....meh. Bad taste in my mouth.

AND WHY ARE THINGS BREAKING AT WORK.

brenda wins for her Kazakhstan joke.

Wow, I wonder what it says about me that I feel sorry for Vino. I mean, he shouldn't have done it but it seems like they all do. I think I always liked him because he was so unpredictable and entertaining.

Yeah, me too. I mean, totally stupid, but it must have broken his heart when he crashed so badly.

Congrats, paperdol!
