PrintAmstel Curaçao. Everybody talks about the beaches, the beer, and the nail-biting excitement of the race itself. But did it ever occur to anyone to discuss the very real dangers of the Caribbean? In an effort to increase the safety of our beloved pro peloton, we offer the following handy-dandy...

I'll try to keep Barbie Barbie appearing weekly throughout the off-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the holidays got in the way again. Sorry about that.

On the other hand
this post lends great insight into the purposes of Amstel Curacao, and why it tends to draw younger, more obviously single riders. Leave it to Frank, however, to get engaged there… the booty errand equivalent of flipping over a guardrail.

Wow. I don't think I'll ever look at a mermaid the same way after this.
I am fearful for young EBH. He may not know what hit him.
Fortunately
it won’t be Buff Abe, he needs his right hand more than ever.

My head finished the last cartoon.
All the cyclist where running to/making a line for the mermaid: Shouting me, me..
Second pic: I pic you Poiting to EBG
Third pic. HH: Damn.. Again second…
Is EBH really wearing a Zebra swimsuit?
Seems a bit flashy for him. Or has King Mario been hanging around the Columbia team bus lately?
grandpa chic?

You know what they say about people with big hands...
they wear big gloves
I for one do not support Barbie on Dolphin porn...
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
Well that's fine, it's the barbie and stuffed dolphin part I don't approve of.

I remembered this one
but “nud-covered Benna” I didn’t; seeing it made your version much more fun. Could be useful to include links to these stage setting pics on your page?
There is nothing useful about a Benna covered in mud photo

Good idea
I actually set something like that up on the Barbie Barbie page yesterday. Now, if you click on one of the images, you’ll be directed to a paragraph of notes, explaining background stuff and including reference shots when they exist. Example. I’ll be happy to include that link here from now on.
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
Footnotes - excellent!
Now I don’t have to spend 10 minutes explaining each episode to my friends. Though they’ve loved it too, even without the notes.
Tan lines on EBH too?
Your touch is superb.
I’m glad we have an EBH too now – I can see him and Haussler providing good fodder this spring…
I do have a new doll--one that took me about 6 tries to get on eBay.
Haven’t quite decided how to use him or if I’ll need to make his kit (relatively easy one, but I don’t think I have what I need on hand). There’s an idea in my head for a Christmas-themed episode that might use 3 or 4 dolls, maybe 2 of which will be new…
But next week, back to the original Barbie Barbie. It’s his series, after all.

Bringing in too many gueststars
is usually a good sign that a series has jumped the shark so that seems wise.
If only Abe had been able to jump the shark...

Buff Abe is my favourite character
I can’t look at him without laughing.
