If there isn't already, there soon will be a religion that espouses storing
ones own blood as a way to achieving grace. Sort of like LDS and a 2-yr
food supply. Better yet would be the Church of the Red Corpuscle which
considers high hematocrit holy and epo a sacrament. I would start the
church myself but I am booked solid on weekends building counterfeit e-
meters.

Nobody likes dopers, but a little piety goes a long way.

How is that possible? He said himself that he only planned to take doping,
didn't he?

The LIVEDRUNK(tm) thing is getting a bit old hat. Perhaps rbr should
expand into other sectors and start a new religion. We might even attract
some movie stars like Tom Cruise to promote our religion. And if we can't
get movie stars, there should be some pro cyclists on sabbatical around
who could it for much less.

Add stain glass windows to a bar, find a bartender that doesn't mind
wearing a stole, and get a good bouncer to keep the sanctimony in line
and I think you are in business. In the U.S., I can't see you getting
a non-profit status for this without a iron-clad creed. The UUs and
Buddhists were grandfathered in...

But, damn, get a bartender that knows how to pour a good drink that
still makes a profit, errh, margin and you would be rolling in money,
being a non-profit and all. Don't know if wafers are cheaper than
peanuts or not, and you'd probably have to add salt to sell beer.

All that said, allowing dancing is probably irreligious.

And a True Believer may believe a light beer can taste as good as a
regular beer, but I wouldn't want to share a sacrament with the dude.

We're going to need some commandments. Ten seems like too many to keep
track of, so lets cut that down to seven, or so, depending whether I run
out of energy towards the end.

1. Thou shalt not covet thy riding partners' significant others unless
he/she are smoking hot and thou are almost certain he/she are attracted to
thee.

2. Thou shalt not attack when thy teammate is up the road in the break.

3. Thou shalt not ride with thine tongue hanging out like Christoffe
Moureoua.

4. Honor thy Kunich, for he, like Benjamin Franlin, is the fount of all
that is good, just, and wise, except he is infused with the holy rage of
roid.

5. Mock not they neighbor's custom Seven, Merckx, or Madonne, even though
you know you could take him/her in a sprint, climb, time-trial, or "picking
up Basso's sister in a bar competition."

6. Thou shalt never spell the name of a Euro-pro correctly.

7. Thou may not use "his/her PEDs were better than mine" as an excuse for
getting smoked in a sprint, climb, time-trial, or "picking up Basso's
sister in a bar competition."

To keep the blood theme going we could specialize in a mix of vodka and
EPO enriched oxygenated blood (ingested via a intravenous drip). Of course
we need to find an EPO supplier willing to supply in bulk if we want to
make a profit. The more sqeamish or less devout followers could substitute
tomato juice for blood.

And it was very good.

Really, I'm just super-relieved that the tinyurl didn't point to another
picture of Basso's not-sister.

But I thought we totally got to mock our neighbour's bike, unless they
could use it properly.

Also, 8. Keep the happy hour holy. Six hours shalt thou labour, the
other two thou shalt slack off on the Internet, and on the ninth hour
thou shalt mix drinks.

No decent religion is complete without two sects who hate each other's guts
because of minor and essentially pointless differences in theology so I'm
going to say your statement about mocking bikes is heresey, as is your 8th
commandment. Therefore you are apostate and all those who believe in
orthodox corpuscular kunichinity must hate you. Unless everyone really
likes your ideas and then I am totally on your side because I am not
fanatic about this.

Death to the infidel corpuscular ryanists! Or not.
