"It's not over" sayeth Mic Rogers. Anyone believe him? Show of hands, please?... Today is circuit day at the 2010 ToC and the last chance to win Levi's golden pajamas. Is Roger's 9 second lead enough to keep DZ at bay? Can Levi find 35 seconds hiding somewhere in their four laps around the 21 mile circuit, which includes the famous Rock Store climb, a nice 2000 footer? Will Jay Leno let Conan have the tonight show back? Does God exist? Who invented Liquid Soap, and why?...
The TT in downtown LA yesterday was very "LA" and quite an spectacle complete with massive cordoned off VIP areas, a grumpy Floyd, lots of grumpy cops (who would not let people cross the street), leggy super models, free "beer" (legally, Michelob ULTRA is beer. I checked) and lots of imagio. It was fun. Today I plan to pre-ride the course, which would have gotten me put into a choke hold yesterday no doubt, so if I can manage to find internet between now and the race starting, I will let you know what I think. I can pretty much assure you that it will be something along the lines of "pant, pant, pant... that was.... pant.... hard.... cough, cough... yep... hard...."

You so gangsta.
Oh, wait a minute. I know who you are. You’re this guy, aren’t you?
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

Dude.
That is so dead-on that I think every person in Arlington under 50 had seen that within a day of it hitting YouTube.
I think I can name the locations of at least half of the Starbuckses in that video.
Another nice touch was the protective lining inside the elevators. I think every apartment building in Rosslyn/Ballston/Clarendon has those. And the Whole Foods across from Ballston Mall.
Ahh, the memories.

Love that one

So what's the deal with VS? Is it delayed?
Yesterday watching on DTV I was clearly behind real time by 30 mins or more, per the live thread here. But until near the end I did not realize that.
It's over
but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be action packed.
