No Friday Foaming Rants?

I'd gotten used to Pat O'Grady's foaming rants on VN, but haven't seen
any in a while. He on vacation or did the Federales read his last few
and escort him to the hoosegow?

Hey, Richard,

Glad to see someone's interested. I've been caught up in production work
since the start of the Tour, mostly for the VeloNews website and the
pre-Interbike issue of Bicycle Retailer and Industry News, and there's
something about a heavy diet of copy editing that suppresses the urge to
write. Maybe I can climb back on the horse once the show is over. There's
nothing like a week in Vegas to set a man to foaming at the jaws.

Cheers,

If you ignore the really bad [censored] and just concentrate on the ordinary [censored],
it can be done in <10 minutes during either breakfast/morning
tea/lunch/afternoon tea/snack to get you through to
dinner/dinner/dessert/after dessert snack/nightcap, and you can still work a
90 hour week.

Eau claire? Or pot belge?

Pot Belge Lite (TM)
It's Big Down Under.

One cup of tea or coffee per day. Sometimes two, but more than that is
counter-productive. Getting the necessary sleep is the real trick.

Sleep? What's that? Oh, yeah, I remember know -- it's that 30-minute
interval between the last bottle of beer and the first cup of coffee . . .

You got it in one. I'm doing better than 30 minutes, but the beer and the
coffee are in the right order (I think).

Was that a rant?

Yeah, that's what you say, but a team from France 2 followed you after
your journalists' race and noticed that you dumped a finger plaster in a
trash can far from home (they reported it had a "Clifford the Big Red Dog"
design on it so they knew it was yours). Plus, there's a report that a
"close friend" of yours carried a jar of some mysterious vile-smelling
paste from Australia to Belgium. It was labeled as some sort of foodstuff,
but chemical analysis determined it was unfit for human consumption. Plus,
Antoine Vayer has written that 90 hours of work per week on one cup of tea
or coffee per day is physiologically impossible.

Damn, and they assured me it was Evening Primrose Oil. I'll sue them all!

As for Vegemite, that stuff should be banned from sale anywhere. No
arguments there.

And Vayer has never worked in publishing.
