Is there vomiting at the end of the shoe-eating?
Sometimes it can be worth the wait if you know there is a payoff at the end

Icecream for me

True: the region of the US with the highest per capita ice cream consumption is...
New England.

Try channels 24 and 28
ITV4 used to be on channel 28 but moved to 24. E4 is now on 28, maybe your tuning is confused or something.

Vs just ran the following commercial:

65km left and we’re only really just started the second

hard call
never much racing. there was when they first started showing live racing, but that was forever ago. now it’s all graphics and features.
meh.

and not do any actual work
but they're so goooooood!
I think its either the trans fat or the msg, can’t decide.
Here's the Skinny
I took the Official time for the stage & subtracted the 1st interval time to see who descended the best but the the Time differences dont match if you compare with the Info provided at
http://www.letour.fr/2009/TDF/LIVE/us/100/classement/index.html therefore the I need the 100ths to see how they rounded the numbers to make A+ B = C
