I think you're missing the point. Nobody cares whether Sebby's driving mocs are Tod's or Cole Haan. Nobody fucking cares whether or not you have a Dooney. Nobody fucking cares whether or not I drink Boodles or Sapphire martinis. You sound like an ass with your constant harping about brand names. Stop it.

Yelling at her for various reasons may well be in order, but shouldn't one be able to mention brand names of shoes on a Fashion Board. I don't understand the Board yet, so I'm just asking.

It's a matter of substance. A post should have some. Or tits. Or a rant. Or an insult.

Monsieur Assclam.

The Tour de France starts on Saturday. I knew that there was to be an individual time trial in the mountains, but I didn't realize that it would be on fucking L'Alpe d'Huez. Holy shit.

Oui. And two time trials in the last 5 days. Talk about leaving the results in doubt for as long as possible.

(and spoiler reminder--no need to post results here every noon. Thank you)

Yup. Straight up the mountain. Vinokourov is out, which is going to hurt Ulrich, but Ulrich is apparently no longer fat. I wonder how well Hamilton can do without a serious bone break.

It certainly plays to the strengths of the presumptive favorites, though, doesn't it?

OK I get the point.

Nobody cares that you're bitter and you can't leave your job because your mortgage is too high.

Malcontent.

I actually think one of the biggest problems with soccer's popularity here is that our best athletes don't play it. They don't play soccer because everyone plays the big three and that's where the money is. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

Uh, you're confusing Wonk and me.

And my mortgage is actually very dealable. I'm just a malcontent.

That's not bad, but I'm going to stick with "assclam" for now. Whoever coined that one can have a license to use "foot commando" gratis.
