TDF: West Nile Virus !

[OMC]

Three weeks of Freds, Newbies, Wannabies, and Idiots in RBR has
reached epidemic levels. I'm hanging around stagnent ponds praying to
get bite by a mosquito infected with West Nile and put me out of my
misery. I've picked up every dead crow and magpie I can find and
eating them raw to increase my exposure. Hopefully RBR will return to
"normal" (Kunich exception) after the tour. I've never read so much
crap from expert coaches second guessing Lance, Jan, and the entire
peleton. These guys need to get together and form their own version of
CTS ! I'm sure with their 20/20 hindsight coaching they will put
Carmichael out of work real soon. To the idiots that slam OLN: DON'T
WATCH !
We would of killed years ago to get 1 hour of coverage on a weekend. I
would agree we could do without "Sam Poser" and that alcoholic bitch
that is drinking her way through France on a daily basis, but I
wouldn't trade it for anything else to watch the tour.
What's been the worst thread in the last 3 weeks here on RBR ?
Any nominations ? This one doesn't count, it will easily be # 1 !

Nope; just like group rides all over the U.S., RBR's at it's worst only
during three weeks in July. Normally it only sucks a little... ;-)

OMC -- I think you have the O'Grady/Colorado virus.
Or, Hunter S. Thompson disease.

So here is my question: What kind of person reads rec.music.opera and
rec.sport.boxing? And further, am I the only one who fancies combining the
two into rec.sport.operatic-boxing?

Maybe so, but it seems clear that a lot of the idiots were present on rbr
before July 5...

I'd agree with that.


Couldn't really tell if it was a troll or if he really was that clueless.

Were Gene Tunney still alive you might meet such a fella. That
heavyweight champion was a Metropolitan Opera regular. But he'd probably
have been appalled by some of the behavior on newsgroups that come closer
to professional rastling than boxing...
