    And I'm guessing that the jersey is size supersmall - and he still
    can't sprint without it becoming a sail. Maybe now he's won a major
    jersey, they'll get him some custom clothes.

    Well, Phil and Paul reported that Pantani was Rujano's idol; maybe he
    had his ears altered to match Marco's look.

    Well, Pantani did get his ears trimmed, so would that be the before or
    after look he was going for?

    Didn't see it at first, but now I see it.

    He needs a custom frame even more.

    I think Pantani would have preffered to call it the before look the
    "classic" look.

  11. With the smallish head size those ears are absolutely necessary to hold
    up the sunglasses.

    Hmm, like "New Coke" and "Classic Coke". No further comparisons needed
    there (heh...).

    He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
    He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
    through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
    mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
    force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The
    change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so....
    Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose...
    Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead.

    He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
    people....They had also molded their faced according to some
    ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
    suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their
    personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
    ance....This is why first impressions are often correct...
    Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have
    arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them....
    They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
    whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way
    there, and then changed their minds.

    He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.

    Or maybe thats WHY pantani was his idol. HE probably sucked at soccer
    and thought, hey,look at pantani, he's a little guy with stuckout ears
    like me!
