Welcome to the Tue, 01/12/2010 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.
“If you go back and watch a tape of Paris-Roubaix 2008 or 2009, and you turn off the volume and stop listening to Phil Liggett talk about Tom Boonen, you’ll know exactly who Johan Van Summeren is and you’ll know exactly why I picked him,” Vaughters said.

evie rolling with cav and co. … what a fucking blast she must be having!
evie helps cav get things off the high shelves in the hotel.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT TIME WHEN GULLA LAPPED THE FIELD!??!?!
SunGard is becoming a sponsor of Saxo Bank this year. Maybe they take over full sponsorship next year? Could have another US team to add to Columbia, Garmin, BMC.
That is so completely bad-ass. Absolutely, incredibly awesome.
There is no Evie ‘situation.’ There is only one ‘Situation’ and he’s from Jersey.
Correction, The Situation is from Staten Island, the only cast member actually from Jersey is Sammi. And yes, I am 41 years old, why do you ask?
COTD, yes I am lazy…

Andy: Dan, I’ve got this idea about Rock Racing, but…
Dan: But it involves pooping? I get it! I so get it!
A: No, it’s subtler. But it involves hand gestures.
D: Like the gesture made while wiping?
A: Not quite. The victory sign, the hitchhiker, you know.
D: Isn’t there a Caca del Toro dual-hand sign you could use?
A: No, but the thing is, I need female hands.
D: Hmmm. We’re cycling fans, we don’t know any women.
A: But we’re both married.
D: Yes, but only in the legal sense.
A: Well, do you think I could just take shots of your hands?
D: And what?
A: And I’ll like give you Lee press-ons in post-production.
…minutes later….
D: Nevermind the post-production, these babies are REAL!
A: Fabulous! Now, make a gripping gesture.
D: I’m a method-gripper. I’m imagining gripping a plunger.
A: Grip it like it’s a sophisticated water balloon.
D: Like this?
A: Yes, only tighter, imagine griping something slimmer.
– a moment of silence –
D: Say, Andy, where’s your camera?
