Seriously, can someone enlighten me to some of the common gripes people have?
i have no particular disdain for lance, per se. but, i must say that i could give a **** about him and the tour de france. professional road cycling does not interest me whatsoever. so, when someone yells "GO LANCE," or "TOUR DE FRANCE, DUDE" at me when i'm riding my bike, i tend to develop a bit of antagonism. it used to happen every ****ing day. sometimes, up to twice in the same mile. being "lanced," as it were, has annoyed me to no ****ing end. it's sort of funny in a "god, what sort of ******bag yells that sort of ****" way, but jesus ****ing christ. not that it's actually the fault of anyone other than the ******bags shouting, but it certainly doesn't help it when 90% of the time that i hear someone mention lance, it's when i'm being heckled.
there. that's my lance rant. when it comes down to it, i don't really care about him one way or another, but i hate it when people assume that i'm lance's biggest fan when they learn that i ride my bike all of the time.
