I know others have won 5 TdF's but has anyone else done them consecutively? Great day for the U.S.P.S team today. |

TdF Question
Just got a good look at the USPS jerseys during the TTT today.
What the hell's a "Berry Floor"? Is there some kind of law that says you can't ride competitively unless you have signs on you that mean absolutely nothing? |

I was going to write a snotty post about how Berry Floor was just a laminated floor tile company named Berry, and how a name like Fassa Bartolo or iBanesto.com was much sillier, but you were trolling, and besides, I was going to point you to berryfloor.com, but their site is flooded due to a traffic overload. It appears that someone forgot to tell them that if you become title sponsor for the defending champion of the Tour de France, then during the Tour de France, your web traffic might go up a bit. In other words, at the time when they are best poised to exploit the massive amount of publicity they paid dearly for, their website is completely hooped. -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |

I hadn't thought about a guy named Berry starting a floor company. One of my favorite jersey from years past said "GIS. TUC. LU." in big letters. I remember thinking that that said it all, though I was never sure what. In the 60s, the first Euro-Pro wannabee I ever saw came to work dressed in his faux Fabbery. The most prominent logo on his jersey said, "Ideor". Somebody asked him if that was the comparative or the superlative form of "Idiot". |

Speaking of TdF clothing... ...do they have someone waiting at the finish line with a heat press, team logos, and yellow jerseys in a range of sizes? Do they put the winner's logo on the jersey du jour every day, or just for the finish? Do they provide a new jersey every day (assuming A Certain Party keeps winning it)? The "4titude" poster on my wall (mooched from a branch of the federal government) shows a pristinely clean jersey and USPS logo. Clearly it didn't get sweat, bugs, and champagne spilled on it. Here in metro Detroit, most sports fans have clothing that looks just like their favorite players' uniform tops; a lot of Red Wings jerseys are roaming the shopping malls. Last night I was (gasp!) driving, and followed a non-vehicular Defective Cyclist (R) (TM) down the street, in his Full Postal kit. (He was giving that team a bad name.) The other night while riding in my new T-shirt (I searched several different *.Marts for a bright, Lance-lemon one) I got to thinking what the world would look like if cycling fans adopted this trend. Fortunately, most of us look OK in tight stretchy lycra. Time for my favorite quote... --Karen M. "Daddy, why is that man wearing your shirt?" --Luke A. a couple years ago |
