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.

Well, this guy was in the breakaway, which was a good fifteen minutes ahead of the main field. If you want to be charitable, it's possible they didn't expect any riders to be passing at that point.
But really, yeah. Put the damn dog on a leash. Both times, I think they've been lucky that the dogs weren't hurt.

Maybe the dogs are doped? Or maybe just the dog owners?
My perfect weekend would be to have Noah and Grace home without durable medical equipment (but we would have air conditioning instead!)
I saw the lovely Polgara today. You all should be jealous.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Or maybe just the dog owners?
I vote this one.

This is the nuttiest TdF evah! Aren't you glad you chose this season to pimp me into it?

Little did I know! Did you know there's only one other time that the leader has been kicked out in the middle of the Tour? It was in something like 1978, and they caught him with a whole tubing system and someone else's urine. Oops.

It really is -- and it's a nutty-assed sport. In non-dog-thwacking news, Paul did the stage description in Swahili today, quite fluently, and in what sounded like a lot of detail. (And I though he was impressive for not mangling French!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Whoopsie! That seems very complex. (Ha! Edited to clarify, tubing-based urination seems complex. Although Swahili seems complex, too, in a whole different way.)
Yeah, the SO & I were talking about it and we were all, there's not really any way it could be a bigger scandal. I mean, I guess naked paratroopers could land on the cyclists' heads with cocaine, but short of that...
Anyway, I know people have been talking about it like it's ruining the sport and all that stuff, and I definitely know there are going to be credibility questions and played politics and all that junk. But to me, right now, as a novice? Totally fascinating.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm so sorry, Sheryl.
It's nothing-ma to both Lisah and Bev.
did anybody else watch The Nine? 'cause i was going through my TiFaux's scheduled recordings and it looks like ABC is bringing it back to burn off the remaining episodes. i never thought i'd get to see them!
oooh. Thanks for the heads up.
My perfect weekend would involve a tropical beach, a clean ocean with lots of pretty fishies, and maybe a cabana boy or two.

I love this image. If that happened it would be FANTASTIC!
