  1. Press Release
    For Immediate Release 8/10/04

    Defense Systems, in conjunctions with Vittoria, has developed Kevlar
    impregnated cycling shorts and jerseys for use during the 2004 Summer
    Olympic road cycling events. Based loosely on the Vittoria 3D Kevlar tire
    concept, these shorts and jerseys are designed to protect the cyclist's core
    body parts from attack on open roads.

    The new jersey and shorts material is fully compatible with the sublimation
    process and is virtually indistinguishable from a normal cycling jersey.
    Addition fabric weight is negligible. Significantly, the new fabrics breath
    as well as ordinary fabrics. One additional advantage of the new fabrics is
    abrasion resistance in crashes. Tyler Hamilton of the United States said,
    "This is the most important advance in cycling since the advent of the
    radiograph."

    It is expected that these fabrics will ultimately be marketed in developing
    cycle racing countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Iran and
    France.

    Please note that radiographs are more important to Tyer Hamilton than
    they are to most other cyclists.
    Obviously, the guy has a sense of humor.

    I watched all kinds of car racing as a kid if I happend to be home with
    nothing else to do on a rainy weekend. I watched NASCAR the other day
    for the first time in 8 years or so, Brickyard 400. I happened to turn
    it on with 20 laps to go and though I was lucky and would catch all the
    action. They were just coming off a caution lap. They went under
    caution again within two laps or so. Because of the crashes and tires
    exploding (probably too hasty to restart and left debris on the track)
    more than half of the last 20 laps were under caution. It sucked ass.
    They even had a special restart and extra laps because otherwise the
    checkered flag would have come out on a caution lap.

    Sounds about as exciting as the first 10 days of the TdF.

    You know, people said the same thing about "Louie Louie", but the only
    thing that was obscene about that song (the Sonics version that we all
    know, that is) is the way the guy attempted to sing.

    It was great.

    I remember posts from YEARS ago...Google just limits my ability to post
    snappy one-liners by not allowing follow-ups to cached articles...

    Certainly compared to the real hip-hop obscenities.

    You know, I never had a problem with hearing obscenities in music (I
    used to regularly see a band called Bad Posture who had a song called
    GDMFSOB - you figure it out!), but the problem with a lot of what you're
    talking about is lousy presentation. At least that's my opinion.

    Speaking of bad words, there was a great This American Life episode on
    that just after the FCC rulings on that:

    http://www.thislife.org/ra/267.ram

    There's a hilarious segment on a woman and the Christmas gift her first
    grade class gave her in that.
