Welcome to the Tue, 02/17/2010 – 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.

how many degrees from Joe Papp is NYC racing?
Thats a graph I would like to see???
FBF Race is CANCELLED.
Due to recent snowfalls and the fact that the Floyd Bennett Field course is not regularly plowed this Sunday’s Season Starter Road Race (February 21) is CANCELLED.
Please join us at our next race at Floyd Bennett Field on March 6.

I love this. “Hmm, where should I look for inspiration for my column? Hold on, there’s a mirror! Hello, handsome, what’s that on your back?”

BUT CHARLIE I HAVE BEEN TRAINING SOOO HARD
Not surprised — after the crap that came down last night, I’m sure Floyd is better suited for speedskating right now.
well, that blows my season. see you guys in 2011.
my coach was having me peak for this race. FML. where can i race now? I guess i will need to unleash my wrath on some unsuspecting triathlete in central park.
sad thing is some of you were REALLY excited to race at floyd in 30 degree weather.
What am I going to do with all these blood bags now?
bunch of over-excited idiots, wanting to race? psh. losers.
“I’m in the middle of having a huge carp done, because in eastern culture it’s a fish that’s supposed to bring good luck.”
What am I supposed to do with all this glycogen?
I did that in Central Park this past Monday just for the hell of it.
papp smear: fail.
I had a bran muffin, six shots of espresso and a bunch of trail mix for breakfast and had a big carp done, too.
Vous pourriez vendre votre foie à un cannibale français.
Papp pleads guilty.

So I guess he took a different career path after doing the whole Shakespeare in the Park thing.
Ahh, that never gets old…
Papp is only a hop, skip and a jump away from Univest champ Todd Herriott…who never seemed to do much in the park or at the local races. TH is a nice guy though….
Pozzatto busted out of the tool shed
dude, papp is a deadbeat dipshit and all, but there are guys who you race against RIGHT NOW who are on shit and a few who sell it to others… as in like, zero degrees separated.

i remember papp doing local races like hills of somerset, somerville, etc. everyone knew he was running down to s. america and getting drugs. he also had a knack for crashing. wonder if his testimony was what initiated the charges. as for herriott, i remember him demolishing the field at jockey hollow in 04. davidenko, nothstein, and others bailed- including me.
