Whoever it was, they should be [censored]-slapped. It may have been cute
the first time it happened, but it has gotten completely and utterly
out of control!

Rasmussen takes the cake, but they all looked pretty stupid. I'd like
to see a moratorium on taking tots to the podium.

Retch. It wasn't cute the first time.

Here is what I had to say last year.

Message-ID: <[email hidden]>
Allow me. When I saw Armstrong had his daughters pimped out on the
podium I turned off the television. Nothing good was going to
follow. We have rituals in our culture. One is the award
presentation. Stand on the podium, smile, wave, accept the award,
air kiss the podium girls, shake hands with the organizing
body's representative. Walk off. When offered an opportunity to
say something say "Thank you."

Side rant: Marriage ceremony. There is a millennia old script for
this one. It is old because it works. Follow the script. I hate it
when some young and stupid couple "design" their own wedding.

Is that what that was? I thought that France was now offering up its
firstborn as prizes to the overall winners. It sure seemed that way.

The other oddity is that I thought when Lance made his short "this is
for all the haters" speech from the podium at last year's tour, that it
was the first time (at least in recent memory) that the tour winner had
been invited to speak from the podium like that. But this year Floyd got
handed the microphone too, and said something nice. Oh yeah, he
dedicated it to the team owner.

Which is kind of like thanking your agent.

Um yes, Rasmussen gets prize for most ridiculous baby outfit, but I'd
like to have a brief word with Robbie McEwan for apparently naming his
child Ewan (don't know if that's the spelling he uses).

Not that I should talk: my mother told me that she came pretty close to
naming me Beau Cousineau.

I probably would have ended up a rollerblader,

Too me, it's offensive. As offensive as those "baby on board" signs I
use to see inside the back of car windows, while riding. I thought of
putting one on the back of my bike, but I knew how much it [censored]
everyone, so with a bike you don't want to enrage people at you more than
they are already at you.

Others have different opinions on how to raise their children. Lance's
mother was pretty good but he never had a father figure and has had to wing
it. You don't like it? Suck oats.

Are you suggesting I fly to Europe to take care of this? Pleeeze, be
reasonable, dumbass.

Secondly, you can't possibly think it would be any big risk to
[censored]-slap that skinny lil' punk. What's he weigh, about 130? I've
taken dumps that weigh more than that.

Next time Rasmussen is in the Quad Cities area, I'll be glad to
"discuss" the matter with him.

We designed our own wedding. Of course we were old. I'll let others
judge whether we were stupid.
Oh, we paid for it too.

i agree... can't people leave their kids out of anything? ALthough I
admit, the kids are cute. But yes, it's kind of sickening already. Okay,
you reproduced, congratulations.

We once made a perfect duplicate of such a sign, only substituted the word
"Dork" for the word "Baby".

The unsuspecting couple drove the car for months without noticing and nobody
had the heart to tell them...

the couple next door to me have one of those stickers on their huge baby

tailgate? Don't honk? It's just to let us know they have a baby in there.

In the meantime, some stupid cow cursed at me yesterday for going around
a huge pothole. Of course I responded in kind. Maybe if I had one of
those stickers on my back, people would treat me with respect (Roll eyes).
