Cuddles' Corner: Friday Fun!

Hey Cafe Kidz! Let's try a little something. You've seen Chris...'s Countdown to the Cobbles, with the famous Andrea Tafi quote: "Only those who are in top condition can say that the Ronde is not hard. For everyone else, it is the Way of the Cross." Well, we actually ran a Way of the Cross Contest a couple years ago, where you make a new statement based on the same structure and gravitas as Tafi's, but on another subject. An example, courtesy of Jens in 2008 when he wasn't such a snarky bastard:
Only those who are going to Flanders this weekend can say that watching the Ronde is not hard. For everyone else watching CyclingTV, it's the Way of the Cross.
So let's do another contest. 2008 was ages ago for you fleshy, temporary existence types. Oh, and you don't have to mention the Tour of Flanders -- the structure is "Only ___ can say ______. For ___, it is the Way of the Cross." Winner will be announced in Monday's Cuddles' Corner, and Chris... promises to dig up some shwag for the winner, assuming they're willing to accept it. Go!

p.s.
No, Cuddles can’t really type. Also, I promised Gav not to cross over into sockpuppetry, so you won’t see Cuddles’ byline on anything resembling an actual cycling topic.
"The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is." Edvald Boasson Hagen
But will he be submitting a VDS team next year, hmmmmm?

Not
by any reasoned method.

Too late
I have filed a complaint with the EU Office of Sockpuppetry. They assure me that as soon as they are done with the complaints regarding Tony Blair and George Bush, this will be dealt with.
just read
your 2008 contribution…you’ll have to be going some to top that.
"well...you live in england so: you love the rain. loves the queen. hates cycling. based on mr bean had a tremendous amount of humour. all ride in a mini cooper. all getting drunk before the age of 12. getting drunk at least 3 times a day."- frinking, 7/9/09
Very strong opener

oh dear
now I am stuck between SuperTed and Black Unicorn. Not an evniable position.

Speaking of Frinking
I saw Cuddles, and realized we need a real Cuddles mascot (just like they had the creepy Girbecco mascot, but perhaps more like this) that you can bring to Belgium.

Only those who don't care for sandpits, mud, and sleet can say the off-season is boring. For guys like Nys and Albert, it's the Way of the Cross.

Only Stuey can break five ribs and say HTFU. For the rest of us, it's the Way of the Cross.

Only Jesus can say being crucified is not a big deal. For everyone else it’s the way of the cross.

I think the pain is pretty crucifying for all...

Only Bobbie Traksel can say KBK 2010 was fun,

Only the pistolero still has a lot to learn; for the rest of us: restated!

Honestly
as a mega fan of his I probably shouldn’t speak BUT people need to stop taking sports so seriously, it’s like the NFL outlawing celebrating. Having fun is the whole purpose of sports.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Make that take athletes so seriously
sports one can, if one of my teams ever wins a title I’m taking a month off to go around the entire state and screaming around.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Only those of us who aren't mega Conta fans can laugh when others make fun of his victory salute. For Phil, it's the Way of the Cross.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Bah you with your creative twisting of my words
making fun of the salute is one thing but some people act is it’s a federal crime.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Send the federales after El Pistolero...
Now we’re stuck in a spaghetti Western.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
It's not a federal crime...
It’s the way of the cross.
Really, my problem with the salute is not so much that it’s silly (though it is), it’s that every time I see it, I’m losing VDS points.

Only Boasson Hagen can say Undskyldning mig, jeg beklager for å være en dumme person men kan jeg stopp for et toalett bryte? For Eddie, it is the Way of the Cross

It might be Britowegian though... we can't blame Frinky for everything..

It is most definitely Britowegian...
… aided by the interweb. Hopefully this wont be held against me :0(

Saying Edvald does those things to sheep
was really a bit over the top but I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as you never go near Norway .
Historically speaking, we have been known to dabble in invasions..

Let's stir up some controversy...
Only the vulgars like the Big Lebowski, for the rest it is the way of the gross.
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
So how about: 'Only American men of a certain age can relive their youth through 'The Big Lebowski',
but for Frinking, it is the Way of the Cross.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
+1 for the controversy
Only Frinking/Frinkius/Frinky/Frinkster can say he’s named 5 times in a topic where he is never been in. For those people, it is the Way of the Cross
And you forgot 'Frinkles'...
Can you feel the love?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Well you're missing the best bit then.

You mean internet forum people?

You want the truth?
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Tell us a little bit about the war, man.
The war in Vietnam?
The war in Viet-Fucking-Nam!!!

Only antipodeans can say that a pie floater sounds appetizing
for everyone else, it is the Way of the Cross
I would restrict that to Australians
I’d never heard of it in NZ. (Actually, I’d never heard of it until here on PdC).
I'd restrict it to South Australians I think..

Only in live threads we can say that 600m climbing in 6k is easy and short
when we get to the road on our bikes is the way of the cross

Only even-tempered cyclists can treat their bikes with respect after a mechanical.
For Dave Millar, it’s the Way of the Toss.

Only cyclists that pay for their rides...

Ha! Good point.
Come to think of it, has Millar tossed a bike since he became part-owner of Garmin?

Only the Spanish, Germans, Italians, Americans, Brits, Belgies, Dutch, Khazaks, Czech’s, etc can do well at the Tour de France. For the French, it’s the Way of the Cross
