Dumbass: while Belgian beers are sometimes acceptable, LIVEDRUNK's One
True Brewery is Unibroue, based in Quebec.

I'm guessing it's part of the rbr gang initiation- or if it's not, it

And your point is...? I didn't see anything to comment about but since
you're insistent I'll take a stab at it: why don't you send a copy of
that book to Tony Stewart? With that pot belly and double chin he
looks like he could use an exercise program. Plus, if he loses that
extra weight he'll be able to accelerate faster, and losing that
double chin should lower his center of gravity. Plus, in a crash he
won't get *****-slapped by his double chin!

OK, straight answer- no, I've never eaten it or heard of it before I
saw mention of it earlier in this thread. But with a couple of mouse
clicks I learned as much as I wanted to know: "...the meat has a more
feces-like flavor...foreigners have been repulsed by the aroma, to the
point where they find it inedible..."

Sounds like as NASCAR is to bike racing, andouillette is to, say, baby
back ribs. I await the wrath of the andouillette fans.

There are certain defining moments that everyone remembers. No matter
where you are, there are common reference points. Greg, quite
reasonably, referred back to a certain moment that stands as the epitome
of RBR chest-thumping. The reference was relevant to the thread he was
involved in.

To me, that seems different than mentioning "LIVEDRUNK" in every thread,
although LIVEDRUNK was also funny and relevant for a few weeks back in 2005.

Your point was Paul G. _ALL_ nascar drivers were pot-bellied,
double-chinned, out of shape social mis-fit wussies.
The fact that you didn't "see" anything to comment about regarding
nascar driver Mark Martin's fitness book confirms what many have been
thinking all along.

You big head is up your dumb ass.

But I'm sure you're gearing up for another victory lap, having (in
your mind) kicked my ass again.

That's sweet. I only try to mention LIVEDRUNK in threads where the
subject of alcohol is already present or seems obviously relevant.

The problem is that somewhere along the line, LIVEDRUNK became,
reasonably, a shorthand explanation for dumb behavior, and then shortly
after that, professional cycling became an orgy of dumb behavior.

Really, you can hardly blame me if the ridiculous acronyms of cycling
(UCI, ASO, WADA, R&R, take your pick...) drove the newsgroup to drink.

Yeah, a reply is required. I never said ALL NASCAR drivers had pot
bellies and double chins. I'm sure some of them are reasonably fit.
What I did say is that while some NASCAR drivers are out of shape,
there is no such thing as as a professional cyclist with a pot belly
and/or double chin. They'd be off the back and off the team.

In fact, I think it's pretty unlikely that ANY NASCAR driver is
nearly as fit as ANY pro cyclist because it takes a lot of time and
effort to achieve and maintain that level of fitness. Obviously if
this guy Tony Stewart can win NASCAR races with a pot belly, NASCAR
racing doesn't require a very high fitness level.

More proof- here's Nascar driver **** Trickle smoking... during a
race:
>http://www.motorsportmad.com/view/2206/this-is-fcukin-gas-driver-smoking-in-a-nascar

These guys are clearly not athletes.

Regarding the gratuitous insults- is that the best you can do?
I'm just going to relax, sit back and watch while you continue to kick
your own ass.

p.s. NASCAR drivers are wusses compared to bike racers. :))

If smoking is a determining factor in athleticness, you should know that a
fair number of riders smoke socially in the off season, some even in the
disco the night after a race.

And, given the prevalence of NASCAR threads lately, that's pretty much
all of them.

I've read enough of your stuff that I have problems believing that
you're less aware of life's general absurdity than I am. That doesn't
wash. Maybe you just know fewer dumb sober people than I do. I find that
alcohol sometimes even IMPROVES that situation. It's hard to say
anything dumb when you've passed out.

For whatever reason, some things get repeated a lot in RBR.
groups.google.com says that livedrunk (sometimes spelled "live drunk"?)
outnumbers Starbucks references (for any reason at all) by better than
2-1. So you're bigger than Starbucks, if you want to look at it that way.

It's always relevant now. It's become part of the culture and fuction
here like Tammy, the "Winning" pic, Greg's pet primates, etc...
Especially during cross season, or the "off" season it's definitely a
serious topic. Seems that way with most of the bicycle racing related
groups, not just here.

Ah- perhaps that explains why the French do so poorly in the TDF. I
can picture them with cigarettes dangling from their lips while they
inject EPO. I have no personal knowledge of any smoking by
professional cyclists, (I can't recall ever seeing even a club rider
smoking) but in a large enough population I suppose some anomalous
stuff goes on, particularly in the off season. You have any names to
go with that "a fair number of riders smoke" statement?

However, my point is "NASCAR racing doesn't require a very high
fitness level" compared with pro cycling. Some of them are overweight,
some of them are regular smokers, maybe some are both, but they can
still win races. That would be impossible in professional cycling.
