More to the point, did he pull off that glorious 5-peak breakaway that
was so audacious nobody else was willing to believe in it?

Yes, and he was pursued by machine gun wielding Spanish Mafioso while he
did it. Luckily, the Mafioso drivers were so focused on providing a
steady platform for the notoriously-poorly-aiming gunners that they
crashed off the side of the road during a descent and exploded in a ball
of flames. So did their car. Dental records later identified one of the
assailants as Dr. Fuentes.

Keep going! Pereiro's virtual win is starting to sound more wonderful
than Landis' actual win.

Then there's the part where, in order to avoid an Iban Mayo crash,
Pereiro had to cut across a field and fell into a cavern filled with art
treasures stolen by the Nazis during WW II. It was defended by actual
Nazis too! Mummified, of course. Pereiro defeated the Army of
mummified Nazis by rewiring his HR monitor to his transmitter and timing
his heartbeat to the precise frequency needed to shatter the mummies to
dust. Truly, one of the great moments in TdF history! Especially since
Sastre et. al. didn't wait for him.

OK, I'll try to come up with one of those too.

No, stay with this one. I think it's the third rewrite of the Lance
Armstrong Movie script.

For the fourth rewrite, they just reuse the "Driven" script after doing
a search-and-replace of "car" with "bicycle."

The peloton literally explodes,

Perfect.

Every once in a while I have a LOT of fun typing up weird, goofball
posts. Don't know that anyone enjoys reading them, but they're a blast
to type. It now occurs to me that the last time I had this much fun
typing it was in response to you too. Fatty Master World: The Amusement
Park. Six months or so ago.

As Ian Drury and the Blockheads once sang: "You're My Inspiration". Or
was that "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick"? I can make sense of either,
really.

Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying. There is a group in here who think everyone
is guilty and some who look at the circumstances and have defended the accused no
matter what nationality they are.

You know what inspires me? LIVEDRUNK.

Agonizingly sober, but I did just visit the new restaurant in my
neighbourhood. It was called "[censored]'s SamGae". It had five dishes on the
menu:

1) chicken soup with ginseng
2) chicken soup with vegetables (spicy)
3) chicken soup
4) roast chicken
5) chicken soup with different vegetables (spicier)

I recommend the chicken,

Fiendishly clever of him, you must admit.
And notice how he wears cycling shorts to cleverly cover up the needle
marks. More proof.

So let me guess: because Floyd is American, he must be innocent.
But if we were talking about Pereiro or Vinokourov in the same
situation, they'd be as guilty as sin.

Dumbass,

Lots of people in rbr have said nice things about Vino,
including whinging about the unfairness of excluding him
from last year's Tour.

Of course not. But not because Oscar wouldn't be as guilty, or innocent, as
Landis, but because he's not as important because he's not American. I'm
sure if Pereiro had won and was then busted, then the Spanish attacking
Landis (in some Spanish R.B.R) would be defending Pereiro just as much as
Americans are Landis. Same with any other nation.

It's not chicken.

How about something like "Gone in 60 Seconds" except with Colnagos and stuff.
Get some cyclocross style action in there and chase scenes through shopping
malls with motorcycles and mountain bikes.

Maybe save that for the sequel "Lance 2: a pain chamois cream won't cure."
