Welcome to the Tue, 07/07/2009 – 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.
does first in off topic count as a real first?

NYTimes also plans to cover CJ in Saturday’s CRCA Boyd pts race.

CJ covers himself in bacos regardless of results
we are the world….we are the children….
anyone konw what’s FBF status? on or off? this f’ing rain is getting ridiculous…
Charlie will be at FBF in about 15 minutes
its sunny at fbf 4.00pm
Is it on tonight? How will we know that it is cancelled before we start riding through traffic of mad mad Brooklyn neighborhoods?
Charlie’s just getting off the Belt Parkway
charlie just stopped to take a piss
are you kidding?
DAMNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, FBF canceled?
I need to go take my daily dose of Fukitol, 1000mg tablets.
Where the hell are we, Seattle?
FBF CANCELLED course is underwater
seriously?
FBF seriously cancelled
i’m sopriced its canceled no rain right now dammit.
i actually don’t believe this, think it’s someone playing a joke. called someone who lives near there and they said it hardly rained
it’s dry in seattle, clowdy but dry. has been ice all week. do not move here, stay in NY.
FBF cancelled, no joke
WTF? how is there water on the course? sunny all weekend and no rain?
i know it’s said, but fbf is all i’ve got
starange. the weather is fine in brooklyn.
Is there an explanation for how water accumulates there when there hasn’t been rain? Not complaining, just curious. Did it rain there actually?
I’m not there, but Charlie is, and he cancelled the race.
it’s really on, schmalz is lying so he can show up and be one of one in his respective field and get double points. we’re on to your scheme.
dude i hear ya fbf is the love of my life.
Dude…Charlie took a pee. Course flooded. Put it together, you’ve seen the guy in tight shorts, he should be nicknamed ‘Firehose.’
cant we do the weak-a55 triangle course? there must be some way to create a course on fbf that avoids any puddles, though i cant understand where the f-ck water is coming from. dyyyyyyyyying here. help me, charlie i, youre my only hope
I live about 15 miles east of FBF. We have had massive rains for the past hour.
I mixed bottles, packed beers, laid out kit, took nap, woke up to a wall of water outside my window.
I’m so frustrated. I’m gonna go yell at my kids and pick a fight with my wife now.
bunch of road wimps, it’s called triathlon. get off your bike and swim through the puddles. don’t be afraid of water and the mankini.
will it be triple points next week?
kick the dog too!
is floyd on tonight july 7th??
FBF cancelled, I’m reposting so the news goes up
how ’bout some fast laps in central park tonight for the fbf-depraved? unofficially, say, around 7:45 or so starting at engineers gate if it ain’t raining?
If everyone went out to FBF with a 12 pack of sponges …
i’m in for the fast laps, but i think you mean deprived.
i for one am definitely fbf depraved. but not down w. fast laps during the summer season … too many peds. unsafe.
!@#$~!!! Trainer night AGAIN!!! FUKITOL, TAKE ME AWAY!
FBF cancelled, course is underwater. REPOST
f the 12-pack of sponges, bring 12-packs of schlitz instead. kinda sounds like schmaltz, but tastes better.
SCHMALZ STOP TAUNTING ME BY REPOSTING. LIKE A SHARP STICK IN THE NUTS EVERY TIME.
I disagree – I taste much better than Schlitz
Will there be quintuple points next week? Will I have to bring a graphing calculator?
I serve to inform
schmaltz malt liquor: works every time.
this is the only thing that comes to mind re: floyd
“Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that G-d does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you.”
i dont know about that, but i do love me some fIREHOSE. schmalz must dig it too, from iowa must love him some fROMOHIO
“captain, there is talk…”
i f-ckin knew it. nice.
seriously, now, augusta at 6pm – never make it from nyc. how about lakewood by 7pm? is that doable?
dammit. 69 miles, no chance.
im the paint on the road / the weight of your load / with your cracked glass groud / F-CK IT!
It should be abundantly clear to any level-headed observer that the title bout from a fortnight ago has greatly offended the G-ds of FBF. The perpatrators must make amends.
is being repaved starting next week….eastside, 60th-110th…
landino
Cancelled?
anyone amazed that LAnce-TANA would have donedid 4 laps in 46 min???
