Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Tour Hexes R Us

Black Unicorn

I was planning to post this Friday, but for some reason I'm in a bad mood and feel like helping others work out whatever frustrations they might be having with cycling right now, today, this minute.

So...need to put a Tour jinx on someone? Take your least-favorite of the favorites down a peg? Maybe heap a little punishment on...oh, I don't know...maybe someone whose doping positive really blew your whole day? Ask my little friend for help!

Will he come through? Well...the trouble with asking the dark side for help is that they aren't especially reliable. I mean, consistently rewarding one's minions smacks of honesty and fair play--and you'll never find a virtue unstatusing the Black Unicorn's quo or (making his Beelzebubble burst). On the other hand, if the bad guys always refused to provide reward, they wouldn't have many followers, now would they?

Have fun, and tell him majope sent you--who knows, he might relent on that Big Favor he keeps refusing me concerning a certain pesky Spa--er, got to run. Bye now.

I like the reply I got...

“I swear to you—he will go down like Frank Schleck in Switzerland.”

Yesss!!!

When Carlos Sastre looks into the camera at the start of Stage 20, touches the side of his nose and mentions the word “tranquilo”, watch out!

"Only if this is for VDS points. Otherwise, no way!"

What sort of answer is that?! I only wanted Cav jinxed on the Champs Elysees so that Benna can win….

Obviously, the Black Unicorn suspected your motive sprung from love, not greed.

You might be asking the wrong unicorn here.

Well, there's a White Unicorn.

I don’t know if he can be persuaded to make his services available online, but I could check…

White unicorns are female

And only talk with other females.

Look, I know the Black Unicorn a little better.

But I’m doing what I can.

I'm just sayin'

Black Unicorns will put out for anybody.

The black unicorn loves me!

It seems the black unicorn IS the love unicorn. Also apparently, I am truly evil….no I can’t tell you why;-)

This is quite entertaining :-)

YES!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

Blacky answered my wish!

His answer: Diabolically creative. I like you. I will try.

My question: make Cavendish test positive for CERA.

And just in case you think I’m evil, here is what Whitey said:

You make me think of rainbows! I will strive to please you.

White Unicorns

are said to be incredibly naive.

Jinxing everyone but Eisel for the Lanterne rouge

Black unicorn: “But he’s a friend of the dark side! Still, for you…yes.”
White unicorn: “Oh, dear. Are you sure you really want that?”

Please can we have a Tour winner from Euskaltel?

Black: “You have no idea what you’re asking of me…but I will think about it.”

White: “If you perform three good deeds by tomorrow, I know I can fulfill your request.”

Right, off to make tea for the entire office….and bake them cakes.

Adrenalina Italiana!

Cake?

Yes, please.

Ok, that can be good deed number 2.

Chocolate? Carrot? Walnut? Do you mind if it gets squished all over the inside of the envelope?

I prefer chocolate cakes

Especially when sent by mail, according to my own experience.

And by the way, cake or death? The answer is always cake.
