Cash is clearly a supertaster, in that she tastes everything right.

Olives taste like Satan's ass crack.

Seriously! And we have not even begun to address their off-texture!

Was there some announcement on whether the old Team Discovery had a new sponsor?

I don't think so, yet.

Incidentally, Iban Mayo tested positive for EPO during the last week of the Tour. WTF.

Punishingly Intricate

I love olives and am now watching the Princess Diaries! I wish I'd known it was on at 8 so I could have seen the whole thing. I've never seen it.

I use RSS, but i'm not sure i would know how to set one up.

Who doesn't like root beer? (Go on, I know you're out there...)

definitely me! it makes me want to barf. i hate real beer and i'd rather drink it over root beer.

so i'm rewatching season four of The OC on SoapNet. Taylor and Ryan are so adorable. this was such a great season. it's a shame FUX decided to can it when it was getting good again.

I have EPO in my fridge. Yep.

Like cilantro, grapefruits, olives, root beer (though I rarely drink soda)...

I am two days late on a paper. Gahhhh. Can't get the writing mojo going.

I like root beer, sometimes I get a bitter taste from microbrews.

I like cilantro but my sister thinks it tastes like soap.

I generally love cilantro, but I was at an indian restaurant and ate something with cilantro and finally tasted the soapy taste. Ugh.

No. Velonews would've posted it right away.

Incidentally, the SI article reads to me as both right and clueless -- Slipstream is definitely an up-and-coming team, heading for the higher ranks, and they're serious about their anti-doping stance, but not quite ready for the pro tour given their results so far. OTOH, the Discovery team isn't going to vanish into thin air, and a lot of the change that's coming is (speculation alert!) going to come out of a combo of demographic luck and the big political battles between the UCI and the major race sponsors.
