Thirtytwo Teeth Crew 940

If you’re like me, and I know you are, you’re following this years Tour with a good deal of moderate enthusiasm.  Granted a Texan (please watch if only for the audio) is not wearing Maillot Jaune at the moment.  That honor is, after the end of stage nombre dix, bestowed upon none other than 5′-8-1/2″ tall Austrian rider Cadel Evans.

The winner of stage 10, however, was Italian (pronounced “eye-tale-yun”) racer Leonardo Piepoli, riding a Scott bike, just like Moon Rider.

Here’s a great clip of his finish:

I’m a big fan of Garmin, since they just replaced mine at no charge, a relatively frequent customer of Chipotle, and a US taxpayer, so my support will go to USA rider Christian Vandevelde in 3rd, not to be confused with Valverde, who is currently in 14th.

So why, you ask, am I mentioning the Tour?

Relax already, I said shave your legs, not your moustache.

Well, its smack dab in the middle of July, raining outside, and you know what that means!  Pump those skinnys up to 120 and hit the road, Jack!  But please for the love of gawd, allah, buddah, and/or the tooth fairy, leave the aerobars and half-shirts in the trash, where they belong!

I’ll eat most things, save animal flesh and my own words, so alright, you know what to do.

xoxo,

Johnny

If you’re like me, and I know you are, you like a good lager, pale ale, wheat, etc.

Philip McClary drinks Bud, or at least he used to.  That was until he found out that Budweiser is selling to Belgian beverage company InBev.  In an interview on the subject, he said, “I was actually drinking a Bud Light when I heard, and I couldn’t even finish it. That’s the honest-to-God truth.”

Let’s break this one down: 

1. Belgians make great beer, way better than Bud.  (So do New Belgians)
2. Belgians gave us cyclocross.
3. The Cannibal is Belgian.
4. Um, waffles?
5. Budweiser sucks.

Ima go have me a Tecate.
