MAMIL - don't be this guy

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Better a MAMIL than a MAMIM (Middle-Aged Man in Morgue).

I'm confused. This is an article from the Daily Mail. Hence, it's not worth the pixels it's printed on.

It's not the Times or the Guardian. Or the New York Times. Or even the Calahoochie Bugle.

It's the Daily Mail. Fer crissakes. Don't roadies have any self-respect? Christ!

I'm not sure what about this is the most disturbing

1) You were waiting to post a Barry Manilow video
2) It was a clip from German TV of all places
3) I actually know the damned song

Bahhh-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! Barely Man Enough on stage performing Copacabana. Even the 1960s Batman show wasn't nearly as campy ... and Batman was intentionally campy.

[Roxanne Kowalski is walking behind a hedge because she is nude]
Roxanne Kowalski: Nobody had a coat?
C.D. Bales: I thought you said you didn't want a coat...
Roxanne Kowalski: Why would I not want a coat?
C.D. Bales: You said you didn't want a coat!
Roxanne Kowalski: I was being ironic.
C.D. Bales: Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.

I once tended bar for a guy who loved that song and played it constantly. I didn't work there for long.
