Welcome to the Tue, 07/25/2009 – 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.
Sastre is first to top of Mahnt Vahn-too today. You heard it hear first. Forreals.
Comment of the day July 24, 2009:
Twas the Night before Ventoux
By: Eric Faber
Fri, 07/24/2009 – 4:18pm Twas the night before Ventoux when all through the crib, not a “curly bit” was stirring except in my bib.
The TIVO was set on the Plasma with care, in hopes that Stage 20 would soon be there.
The Cat 5’s were nestled all snug in their beds
while visions of pedals all danced in their heads.
The Ventoux lay naked in a deciduous pose, about to be humped by mAnorexics in tight clothes.
At 7:00 am I awoke with some porridge, while Sherwen told Liggett of “Suitcases with courage”
Inhaling my caffeine with Cavendish flash, I skipped all the commercials in search of a crash.
The moon’s heat on the Col. shimmered like flame, Columbia, Silence and Rabo’needing someone to blame.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear a 62kg Spaniard and 8 other dudes in fear.
With his Humpty Hump dance, so live and so fast, Lemond was was freaking out at his VO2 max!
More rapid then eagles his competitors and “Teammates” tried, Alberto just laughed, danced and “Finger-banged” on the Verbier with pride.
Now Lancer, now Schlecks, Kloeden,”Bawwm chick a bawm bawm”, Wiggo and Sastre?
Cadel’s chances as good as Auge.
The hot Tarmac crouched as the Yellow bird flies he barely takes notice where Tom Simpson dies.
Up to the top the “Pinto Bean” hopped. To cycling’s “Roof”
prancing and pawing on each little hoof.
I strained my neck to view his VMI up close, “What’s that boy on?”, “It ain’t glucose!
He turned over the chain with the 28 teeth
His aura encircled his helmet, a wreath
He had a thin face with a hipster “Flavor Saver”
much like that of your douchebag-y, “fixie” ex-neighbor.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, looked back at the pretenders (already dead)
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work.
Behind him is “Livestrong” who thinks he’s a jerk
And pointing his finger out in front of his nose
his Pistolero goes off bustin’ caps in those wheel hoes!
He sprang to the podium as the reporters all whistled they all jumped on him like Toto on gristle.
How is it possible? all the cynics decried thinking something definitely ain’t right.
With a chshire grin on his face bubbling with delight
Aberto exclaimed:
Fuck all of you haters
OTRA PREGUNTA!!!!!!!
and to all a good-night!
