That's harsh.

Campy, Shimano, or SRAM? Let's stay on point people!!!

Agreed.

As a single guy, I have no obligation to watch it. :innocent:

Nothing in my wedding vows obligates me to watch it. It is sometimes on in the room while I'm on the interwebs, but I tune it out of my consciousness. Otherwise I might have to take serious measures like the guy in TWL's link.

The rest of the article points out that the guy is BiPolar. Bet he has done that kind of thing before and before and before.


Come to think of it; he may be one of us:eek:

If he's bipolar I'll give him credit for being two of us.

OK, you merchants of diversity and tolerance: step away from the TV, put down that shotgun, and no one will get hurt.

South Park was really fun last night.

Appealing to my artsy fartsy side, I have been watching this show for about 7 years and not an expert judge of dancing. The public voting may be BS or gamed but watching Brandy and Jennifer Grey dance compared to Bristol is like comparing cheetahs to a stampeding elephant. The others have much more complicated choreography and execute at greater speed and accuracy with substantially more emotion and theatrical connection to the music. Bristol is a good solid woman dancer doing this for the first time and not gifted.

Now what are the judges thinking? They gave her high scores i.e. 9s. IMO, Bristol is doing well, but compared to the others, she should get 7s or less. IMO, the higher scores influence the public vote.

The tea party won!

Why drag the Tea Party movement into this?

Finally... moments away from the move and/or lock.

Because they've been sending secret messages through our decoder rings to vote for Bristol whether we watch the show or not. I don't question whatever comes over my secret decoder ring. It's kind of like being a member of a union except the decoder ring is a lot cheaper.

Anyone other than me think Mondo got hosed when Gretchen won Project Runway this year?

It is hard to believe but here are some absolute truths about the universe.
1. Crop circles are created by space aliens.
2. Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor before it happened and allowed it to get into the war.
3. The CIA/ Johnson killed Kennedy.
4. Bush and his people brought down the Twin Towers with Micro Thermite.
5. Tea party people conspired together to vote for Bristle.
6. The core of the earth has frozen over.
It seems to me if everyone that expressed outrage over Brandy getting kicked off of DWTS had simply voted for Brandy she would not only still be on the show but would win a Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe and Oscar. However it looks like she would have lost the People’s Choice award.

Mondo was too one dimension and Gretchen was a talented b1tch who needed to HTFU. However, Heidi is totally hot.

"Mondo - you are OUT," said the ice cube lady.

I just realized something: This is relevant to cycling! How?

Cyclists like women with nice legs. ("Search your feelings, you know it to be true!")
Bristol Palin has nice legs. I know this, because I just watched This clip on youtube.

Whew! So glad I got this straightened out. :lol:

You're right she does have nice legs but she can't hold a candle to 50+ women cyclists.

Speaking of celebrity cycling, I downloaded Dhani Jones' episode where he takes on the Gran Fondo del Monte Grappa for $1.99 on ITunes. It's really pretty cool. He said it was about a much suffering as he's ever done.

I saw that when it aired on cable a few months ago, Travel Channel maybe? I thought he gave it quite a good effort, some serious training and he'd be a respectable cyclist. I've always thought that more African-Americans should take up cycle racing, they would sure be great competitors. I never missed a chance to see Nelson Vails when he came to the track in Colorado Springs, he was the true test of the strength of a well made bike, he was so powerful!
