Perhaps HE wasn't racing as much as JFT.

Armstrong had a whole team of guys to do his crashing for him,
plus keep him out of trouble and bring him peanut butter
sandwiches.

Anyway, on the RBR adrenaline theory, if LANCE had crashed
more, he could have won eight.

Yes, but the real question is did he countersteer (the hincapie variation
on freeform countersteering in Paris-Roubaix was quite informative).

The problem is that I'm pretty sure you couldn't use panini-grade
pressure, as the molten goo would just squeeze out the sides. Note that
this sandwich gets very little pressing. The chocolate chips get mushed
as much by the lift as by putting the bread back down.

Making a grilled PBC might be verry interesting, though.

This idea I like. A lot. Must try it...

Heather the axe murderess. And to keep to the spirit of this thread, I
presume you've got portions of Kunich stored in your refrigerator next to
the andoulette?

I buy "all-natural" peanut butter in jars from the big manufacturers.

Speaking of LANCE, I was watching Dodgeball: A True
Underdog Story (2004), OK, OK, I have no life, when
Armstrong happens to run into the Protagonist who has
decided to cave in and abandon the tournament:

Lance Armstrong: Hey, aren't you Peter La Fleur?

Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong!

Lance Armstrong: Ya, that's me. But I'm a big fan of yours.

Peter La Fleur: Really?

Lance Armstrong: Ya, I've been watching the dodgeball
tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can't get
enough of it. Good luck in the tournament. I'm really
pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I
think you better hurry up or you're gonna be late.

Peter La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance.

Lance Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking of
quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and
testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the
love and support of my friends and family, I got back
on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a
row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So
what are you dying of that's keeping you from the
finals?

Peter La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like... shame.

Lance Armstrong: I guess if a person never quit
when the going got tough, they wouldn't anything to
regret for the rest of their life. Well, good luck to
you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you
forever.

Esmay is truly the chickenhawk's chickenhawk. A whole lot of eliminationist
rhetoric and questioning other people's patriotism (among other things) out of him.

Hey, Curtis Russell disappeared a few days after TK - just enough time to get
across the country and do the job...
