Dear Bagged Spinach

We have been together for some time now, years to be exact. Oh how I love your green leafy goodness and good iron content which along with good ol’ meat keeps me un-anaemic. How good do you taste with caesar dressing and garlic buttered croutons, and along with a yogurt your provide me with yummy nutrients before I cook. But now you have gone and tried to make me sick, HOW DARE YOU! It has been a week since I have bitten your tiny leaves of love, but I already miss you. I forgive you, just come back to me, I miss you my love.

So my L.A trip was awesome! Here are some things I learned

1. Bentleys are sold in Beverly Hills buy one get one free (bogo)

2. Boobies are sold buy one get one free (bogo)

3. If you are tall, skinny, somewhat good looking, and straight dont walk past the bars in west hollywood after they close.

4. Getting your car towed in the asian area of LA will cost you $263

5. If your car is small enough, you can steal it back from the impound lot by driving it under the chain.

6. Impound lots dont like it when you resteal your car back.

7. Regardless if you manage to get your car out of the impound lot you will inevitably have to pay $263 no matter how funny it was.

8. Wheat thins are making me fat.

Week in Review #2

Week in Review

Bear Fat and Vodka produce a champ.

Alexandre Vinokourov won the Tour of Spain this year in his 33rd year of age. Eric Zabel, who is even a few years older, took first in the final stage of this year’s tour.
Vinokourov comes from the Republic of Kazakhstan where its inhabitants live off of the fat of Bear and Vodka. This might be the only remedy to the cold weather. Watch out for the blonde Kazakh in next year’s TDF.
The latest news in cycling lately, have mimicked episodes of “Cops”. Everyone wants to know who did what drugs and how that could be linked to someone else. What about the rumors of Ulrich and his DNA sample that really weren’t taken by police. It might be entertaining to see the scrawny and shirtless German answering the door to the authorities, and then resisting. I like Ulrich, and would like to see him win the tour. All of this drug attention is doing nothing for the sport of cycling.
88frankie.jpgFrankie Andreau admitted to using EPO during his years with Lance. Many might be happy at this news and say, “I told you so’” because they are so clever with their drug knowledge. Others might think that it is killing the sport. One question should be: “Can you ever find truth?” Well of course not; it may be there but never obtainable. Possibly another question would be, “How hard should one probe for a cheat?”
On another note, what is going on in the world of collegiate cycling? Oh yeah, who cares.
Mike Jones has decided to leave Health Net, and go to Jelly Belly. His recent fame in the episode of “CRIBS” has really boosted his stats.
