  1. The old Beatles movie was amusing and never resulted in Rushdie-like
    death sentences -- go figure.

    But times have changed and the UCI could move its appeals forum --
    adjudication in Tehran under Islamic Law for those testing positive. I
    expect cheaters would become very scarce.

    Best,
    Bill Black

    Purely to provoke spelling-challenged morons such as you.

    You wouldn't happen to be the Bill Black that our CSO cites in his book as
    being the inventor of the "hour of power" would you ?

    Yes, that is me -- our Maine winters make indoor training a necessity
    and keeping it interesting and effective is always a challenge.

    There goes another one of papai's (AKA Bruce Lite) theories.

    Presumably the hour of power will be added to the sharia law of
    punishments for transgressing cyclists.

    You bought the book?

    Yep, along with my now obligatory fatty master powertap. Actually the SL
    worked out the same price as a pro for me as I use Campag and would have
    had to buy a cassette along with the pro.

    The only question is if flandis loses his title does that mean the
    powertap loses its status as a fatty master symbol ? Or does it become a
    symbol of rebellion against the system.

    Almost worth it not to have the bright yellow cover.

    Sorry, Dottore Coglioni of course, I was having an rbr trivia black out.

    Presumably Dottore Coglioni must be a member of the dope mafia that M.
    Montesquiou claimed was so all-pervasive.

    Come to think of it M. Montesquiou seems rather conspicuous by his absence
    lately, perhaps the dope mafia got him. Its just a pity they didn't put a
    contract out on FloydDoped and Froid Landis et al while they were about it.

    Actually I'm thinking of writing some myself as both the Powertap and the
    CyclingPeaks software only work in Windoze and using Windoze puts me in a
    bad mood for the rest of the day.

    Come to think of it, perhaps I should use Windoze before every race to
    make me ultra aggro. I just hope it doesn't mess with your T-E ratio.

    Only UNIX programmers have T-E issues.

    What is a UNIX programmer? The old Kernighan and Pike "Unix
    Programming" book from a million years ago was all about Bourne shell. I
    don't think that's what you mean. Too straightforward. SERIOUS T-E
    issues stem from the use of perl and THAT might almost be argued as
    cross platform, though probably not by me.

    If Perl programmers have issues I hate to think what Lisp programmers have
    (talk about shooting yourself in the foot with a bracket).
