Personally, I’m hoping for a little Robert Conrad action. Best. Network. Battling. Star. Ever.@##=#<1,R>2##=#
I’m at the friggin’ circus today!! I should’ve put a party hat on Ginger, juggled three tennis balls, and called it a day. Who remembers their third birthday anyways?
Let the nonsense begin! etme start by saying that George H. has been announced as being a “protected” rider by Johann himself at next year’s TDF, and that Commesso still has no contract
And the clowns scared Sofie off, so I’m home!!!
I type like old people drive!

Sophie is very wise, clowns=scary
Your tarded
Big crowd today. Perhaps the male nudity scared everyone off?
GH will do well. Not having to tow LA around will make the mountains alot easier
Rick, I think GH will challenge, not sure about winning. I would love to have Leblanc still running the TDF to see his face when 2 Americans win in a row!
Andy, I was about to rail about your lack of commitment to the sport and site, but alas, you have redeemed yourself. Man, I mean who would prioritize taking his little girl out for her birthday over a cycling activity? The SHAME.
JP tour??
Glad to be of service. I already spent her college tuition on bike parts.
Maybe JP tour is a ride around his apt.?
Think I preferred George the Clasics rider – more romantic.
I have no idea who Robert Conrad is!
a ride or a RIDE?
What are you, 25 years old?
Steve, don’t let RC hear you say that!
Pappy Boyington!!
Discovery is going to “protect” multiple riders = loss just ask T. Mobile, too many chiefs, Schmalz – aren’t you your own mechanic = idiot
I have a hard time believing that GH will not put the classics as his first priority. I do think he will part of a multi pronged attack though.

chefs
I think Disco will concentrate on only one rider Popo is still too young.
Is chiefs politically incorrect now?
No TTT, too.
This Heras allegation hasnt received all that much media attention, interestingly. Another ban would be a killer for this plagued sport, I would think. Imagine taking EPO in 2005 when you are the Vuelta leader and likely to be tested! Sounds almost too much to be true on that basis alone…
the saying is too many chefs ruin the…
The TDF TTT rules were thinly disguised “beat Lance” player hating on Leblanc’s part
I agree that GH is an unlikely winner, but I think he may be the best placed American.
Or, too many chiefs, not enough indians
Grammatical correctness is fr sckrs
ok, you got me there
I tend to agree that GH will be the top placed American. I’m gonna get crazy and say Horner second
is schmalzlzlz what Laverne or Shirley says in that theme song?
It’s Ullrich’s tour, but he will be second fiddle to Basso this year.
I still believe in Tyler!!
Hossefeffor incorporated!
Someone will have to do a “winter wurst check” on Ullrich before I buy that line of reasoning.
I think Schmalz and I are the only idiotic ones here. Doesn’t anyone else pine for 70’s sitcoms?
Tyler will be found “not guilty” this January, too late to make a tour team roster – insider infrormation
enough EURO talk lets talk about the local scene. New teams, rider trasfers, new sponsors etc.
Do tell do tell. Where’s that info from?
George – insider info = out of your butt?
Ullrich is now seperating his carbs from his proteins to keep his weight down – says it is helping him considerably
Wherefore Schmalz in ’06?
Hmmm, only one transfer I can really substantiate.
Well – that is from the “inside” isn’t it???
how about a NYC stage race.
Well I quite like Edgemont Capital’s new kit. Nice to see some black on a jersey
Who’s your favorite sweathog? I’m going with Horshack
This Just in!!! Schmalz transfers!!
Let’s not focus on who the “top american” will be. the next few years are going to be a down time for the Americans. Europeans are going to take back the Tour for a while
harvey to vb
Schmalz – can that be your new mantra, GEORGE KNOWS ALL replacing THOR WILL SMASH, and being turned into a t-shirt?
Rick – I’m an Epstein guy myself
Epstein’s mom
Let’s not focus on who the “top american” will be. the next few years are going to be a down time for the Americans. Europeans are going to take back the Tour for a while
what is the % all teams have new cloths by March 1
Who’s this mysterious George with insight into Ulrich’s diet?
Tom – I think right noe the US is a major player in the international scene, more than France, maybe more than Spain.
What was the date this year? July or August? I think Comedy Central was the last.
X to blueribbon
If the GEORGE KNOWS ALL shirt sell like the Thors, I’ll be living in a box in no time…
basso all the way
Xavier? that’s crazy!
Wha about Auth?
X and Harvey gone from Next, who’s left??
Why aren’t we riding instead of chatting? Too cold??
any new local teams for 06?
I rode today.
Jimmy – I can think of at least one new team
lattanzi, jamison, bennett…
are they merging with champ
NYVC team
Champion is getting to be a major player
I’m in my “build” period. I am building a belly, which will force me to become stronger in order to carry it up hill. A Greg LeMond theory to winter riding
Whats going to happen with MEtro next year?
Schmalz – true, i just think that the Tour is gong to leave the US for a while. there is more to cycling than who the top american is in the tour. I would like to see more classics wins from the US. Horner, Tom D., GH, Zabriskie are all top class, but not going to win the tour next year
They must get a lot of people at those parties.
champion is pressure by the sponsor to really represent. do they have anyone knew?
The Nyvelocity team. Big ups to Brooklyn!!!!
look out 2006 B racing won’t be the same!
I don’t think US racing is good for breeding classic racers – races are too short.
Who’s left on Metro?
Schmalz – true, i just think that the Tour is gong to leave the US for a while. there is more to cycling than who the top american is in the tour. I would like to see more classics wins from the US. Horner, Tom D., GH, Zabriskie are all top class, but not going to win the tour next year
is Van Dunk running the spring series again?
Wow, go to the bathroom and things really pick up.
$20 all the Brooklyn Brew you can drink, nibbles and a raffle –
“Y’all come down now ya hear”
OK – it’s 20 minutes into this without a poop reference – so I will say “doodie”
No more dumb TV talk or Commesso?
No Toto at all…
i was thinking of commesso during lunch when i was eating salami on rye with provalone
I think I could sign Commesso to a CRCA team for free buffet vouchers…
I farted
I think I’d ride for free buffet vouchers come to think of it…
All buffets are not created equal. There’s a certain buffet in Vegas…
has anyone crashed their bike riding a wheely in CP…NO?…me niether
Vegas buffet=colon grenade
I can’t wheelie, I have no skills…
I’m not saying somebody can ride redlands and go win Paris – Roubaix. But most of our best guys are based in Europe and not Tour riders
The Edgemont Capital kit is cool.
Blue Ribbon is going to be a handful with X.
I’m 2 post away from interviewing myself again
NO NUNCHUCK SKILLS??
anyone have a pic of the new kit
computer hacking skills
I think the tour of Cali will raise the US racing profile, plus you get the added comedy of Italian riders hitting on the local chichas
How do you spell fahute?
did you guys see that video of Cipo pulling over to kiss a spectator at the tour of georgia?
so schmalz, do you think you could outsprint a liger?
A liger, no, maybe a lemur though.
does a liger have large talons?
flahute
Who was the biggest influence on your mighty career?
My “team” is going to become a crca sub team for next season. Since we never send more than 1 person to a race at a time, we will not add much pack fill, but I will do my best to represent in that role.
Flahute – really there’s a “L” in there?
I agree. I also think that Lance leaving could be good for US cycling. Maybe… I hope…
Apparently they just named a lemur species after ‘John Cleese’
can these chat be a Lance free zone?
George – your team could be the next “Kaplans”
Now that’s good info!
How did you guys have an Ass Library story and not include a shot of Jlo
I HATE lance, but I have to at least admit he was good for cycling
whos the dude with the fro right after the office space guy on the chat banner?
Steve – you know you’ve arrived when you get a species named after you, either that or you’re king of the nerds.
JB – that just happens to be the legendary Gabe Kaplan!
schmalz – I am unfamiliar with the reference, but am assuming it is not a, shall we say, compliment
sorta looks like John Holms
J Lo J Lo with the massive tail-O
For a doggie’s nose that’s the holy grail-O
I don’t hate Lance that’s a job for the French
Triumph is here!!
How do people not know Gabe Kaplan?
and they do it soo well
George – the Kaplan’s team were like dodo birds, rumoured to be extinct, but would show up unexpectedly…
i don’t hate Lance but I’m just tired of hearing about him. Lets move on
Next week, we may have real chat software available!
By “people” you must mean “george”, and I do get the reference now, wasn’t sure by just the last name
If Gabe Kaplan has a Kaplans Is Conrad’s sponsored by Robert Conrad? IM starting to see how this works.
So it’s sorta social. Demented and sad, but social.
– John Bender
Alex, can we get sponsored by Jan Smithers? Please!
where the girls at?
I will run it up the flagpole and see if I can’t bring glory back to the DoDo bird/Kaplan team
I used dodo because I can’t spell seal-uh-can’t
Yes, sad and demented, not sure about social.
If you were a girl would you come here? Using your real name, I mean. I happen to think this Andy person may be female…
O.K., feel the need to confess, so thanks for listening: I am glad this has a time limit, otherwise I might never leave my computer.
Tough one. coelacanth
Scmaltz-
Doesnt Smithers work for M. Burns?
coelacanth!! – Cleese is no longer king of the nerds!
I’m giggling like a schoolgirl. Does that count?
andy – imdb Jan Smithers
Not that smithers, the cute one.
you mean alex
So Schmalz, who are your influences?
Not again!!!
Answer or revert to interviewing yourself.
So Dan and Andy, its just the three of us here now right? can we lose the aliases…
Miller High Life, Vicks 44, and Claudio Chiapucchi (sp)
yes
To what training methods do you attribute your kitten like sprint?
So, schmalz where do you see your career going from here?
My kitten like sprint comes from my timid and gentle nature
no … please … 15 minutes to go … no self-interview … pretty please
you can forget about politics
no … please … 15 minutes to go … no self-interview … pretty please
Jim J bullock was under-ratted on Too Close For Comfort
What’s a metaphor for interviewing oneself in a chat? Hmmm…
Should I feel stupid just because I clicked on Conrad for about 10 minutes before I realized it was the wrong banner I needed to refresh my screen?
If all you need is to pull a “c” in your higher education career as BOTH 2004 Prez candidates did, I might still be in the running…
was that the show with the smart brunette sister and dumb blonde sister?
Jim J Bullock’s best work was on Hollywood Squares.
that dumb blonde sister provided me with quite a bit of “entertainment”
That’s the metaphor I was looking for!
I’ve lost me mantra already – I guess I’m back to “I ride the best because I am a winner”
Andy, interviewing one’s self is called “therapy”, I believe.
Picking Jim J’s best work is like choosing your favorite kids. He was great on Inside the Actor’s Studio too.
analyzing the suspect?
almost 60 minutes have past and no good scoops or slander or libel
I think Jim J’s best work was on Rock Hudson, do I get to say that?
Can anyone get on Inside the Actor’s Studio?
Did I miss anything?
Sitcoms? Can you top Bosom Buddies? I think not. Never forget your roots. Kip Wilson was Tom Hank’s finest work, no doubt. I can’t watch any Tom Hanks’ movie without thinking of him in drag. If you know what I mean. Ahem…
I’m on “Inside” next week.
We’ll have to do with JJ and Rock Hudson.
intimating that Jim J might be gay is a little libelous
This totally beats my usual aol chats.
Peter Scolari carried Hanks on Bosum Buddies…
Will you slap that stupid host for me?
just a little
Who was JP tour?
Nonsense. But Schmalz, you and I definitely have something in common … we both had crushes on Agent 99. Don’t lie.
Schmalz – I am impressed that you know the other actor from bosom buddies = need a life
Here’s an excerpt on my “Inside” Interview:
“Dan, what was it like going through Thor’s trash?”
schmalz “fishy”
Agent 99, I want my lotion money back!!
ick
Where is JP this week? I though he was a regular reader
knowing that info only proofs that you watched VH1 80’s show
JP is working on an article comparing the cultural implications of indexed shifting on indigenous peoples
Wow, now I’m lost. Didn’t watch enough tv.
And just to make sure that there are no girls allowed here, I admit a little good self-loving with the fine ladies from G.L.O.W. back in the day.
Care to name that tune?
gorgeious ladies of wrestling.
Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling? Loved that Fabulous Moolah!
scarier and scarier
American Gladiators next week?
nitro!
I did get out of the house, really I did – mostly whenever something with Larry Storch came on.
Ammerican Gladiators – Nitro Time! Larry Csonka’s finest hour!
mike adamle carried csonka
Time to wrap this chat up in some newspaper – much like rotten fish.
I can’t believe I’m drawing a blank on other gladiator names.
mike adamle rings a 10 on my obscure-a-tron! Well Played!
Danny Tario is a bitch!
That’s a wrap everyone! Hide your heads in shame!
An hour is a long time but when you are making the NYvelocity bzuckz you are expected to go the extra mile…good work guys, I still dont see how you create all those characters so quick.
Whats going to happen with MEtro next year?
I’m not sure about Metro for next year, but I do know they are down a schmalz. Not that that’s a big deal…
