I met Floyd Landis tonight

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

He didn't wear a suit when he came to Brooklyn for the FFF. Leather jacket, in fact. How much for the autograph? It was $20 in Brooklyn!

I'll agree on the Monkee's hairstyle, it wasn't the way I wanted it cut but it's how it turned out. Now that winters over I'll get the Lance haircut to go with "the look" that I've been practicing since fall.

Yea, those are really important skills! I think I'll put that on my list of things to get good at, right after I master the abacus, and learn how to milk a cow.

Did he give a speech that night that primarily focused on his alleged innocence? Or was it a more general talk about racing and the tour, etc.?

Saturday night was just to meet Floyd, get signatures and pictures. It seems the emphasis tonight will be on the doping allegations and his alleged innocence. They are describing it as a town hall type meeting.

He looks like a sales rep for a product you don't want to buy.

I think Strong Bad's going to need some rhinoplasty to complete the look. Something about the nose is different; I can't put my finger on it... I think Lance's is pointer or something.

Hey, I'm not the guy in the picture (besides, does he look anything like my avatar???), I just wanted to point out how unnecessary it is to hone the skills of "suit wearing" and "tie wearing".

Oops, thought it was you. My comments should've been directed at kenny.
