Apple pie is delicious too. Also, I've been on a recent Key Lime pie kick, since I got back from Miami. Haven't found a place that does them quite like they do down there however.

Comparing overall wins, and stage wins based on these posts its 97 Armstrong, 98 Indurain.

I can remember a post from a few months ago where some guy said that 1999 was Armstrong's first tour. That's pretty funny.

You call Sheryl Crow a rock goddess?
I assume Indurain was banging hot spanish chicks who were younger than him.

I dunno if I would touch Sheryl Crow with a 10 foot stick, but that's just me.
I'd bet one on one Indurian would beat out Lance. Eventually. Take a bit, but I'd bet Indurian would win.

Okay...how about this:
Lance is totally beating Indurain in the race for least amount of testicles.
/Ooh, that was about 6" below the belt.
And, yes, if Sheryl threw herself at me, I'd take it every day of the week and twice on Sunday...and so would you...and your dad.

I think she's the same age as my dad.
