As a gesture of reconcilliation and international goodwill, I propose we
name it "French peanuts." At which point, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh
will want to rename it "Freedom peanuts," which would be pretty goddamned
funny.

Or is "French peanuts" already taken to describe the effect of heavy
anabolic steroid use on someone's testicles?

Racers that can actually string together complete sentences are
rare enough that I remember Derek Bouchard-Hall.

That was rather eloquent, wasn't it? On another note, the '01 Mercury / Viatel
team had some pretty good people (go here and scroll down:

Wow, that pre-mixed stuff was awful; further proof there's no accounting for
taste... A friend worked with a guy who regularly walked around eating a huge bowl
of peanut butter with a spoon. That guy also drank six to ten (company provided)
sodas a day.

Well, peanut butter is good, so if they're working off the postulation "it's
better with butter" perhaps they're assuming that "if it's good, it must have
butter."

Having it with a good fruit preserve (like Clearbrook Farms or Agrimontana) with
a high percentage of actual fruit makes it pretty tasty and nutritious.

Marry me. Yes, we both have spouses, but that will probably be legal in
Canada soon anyways.

I thought it was the other way around: after eating a mixture
of butter, peanut butter and honey for dinner, an evening
of cheap shooters of tequila is the only thing that will
clean the film off your teeth.

Also, if you can keep the peanut-butter breath going all
evening, it deters annoying people from hitting on you
even though you're totally blitzed on cheap tequila.

This has been a public service announcement,

Oh. So that's been my problem. It's my peanut butter breath. Apparently
works on not-so-annoying people too.

Well, it's all about priorities. Do more top 10 finishes weigh up
against crashing once in a while? You chose wussly but wisely.

Just to change the subject, DBH said something to me once that really
made me think. I'd said I hadn't crashed in several years and race a
reasonable amount (40-50 races a year) and he said, basically, I
wasn't crashing enough. That if I was racing right I should be
crashing once or twice a year on average.

And he was probably right -- I was wussing out a little too often in
the finale of races to play it super-safe.

The thing about peanut butter is a lot of the stuff is nasty and bad
for you -- has partially hydrogenated vegeble oil mixed in. Not good.
Not good. Butter would be better.
