Exciting stuff going on in the Tour de France! Anyone? amych?

I'm not watching right now but I'd like to know!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Tour de France:

Cadel Evans has completely cracked on the Col de la Madeleine. He's losing huge amounts of time to the leaders. Schleck and Contador are riding together behind a breakaway.

Also, if I'm reading things right, Armstrong is in a chase group, and Leipheimer is not with him.

Now tagless for your comfort.

What did Radio Shack change its name to? The Shack?

Yup. They thought it would sound "hip." Or Something.

The Shack.

Ann Taylor Loft is also The Loft.

At least with the YMCA, people already do call it The Y a lot. I know we do (Casper is in camp there).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Anyone? amych?

I wish! Stupid having to do actual work.

I'm not watching TV coverage, just the little live thing from the Tour's site.

First Radio Shack, now the YMCA? My world is askew!

Except, unlike The Shack, this doesn't seem top-down. Most people have used Y for years.

Ah, the Col de la Madeleine, a classic TdF break point. My peeps being Savoyard, I gotta love that.

Oh, more details about Leipheimer:

He's still in it, and he's ahead of Armstrong's group now. They're somewhere under 4 minutes behind the leaders. It's looking possible that Contador and Schleck will catch the leaders before the end, but there's only 7k left to go.

Aims, did you see that Tony Bourdain was in Ann Arbor on No Reservations this week?

The Shack? Seriously? No business should be named "The Shack" unless it is some sort of rickety restaurant on the ocean.

The Y makes sense-- everyone already calls it The Y. Although, is it still Christian? And can you still rent cheap rooms from them?
