TDF Caption Contest

"Arrg! This sunroof is crushing my junk!"

Enjoying the craziness of the Tour?  Some of the pictures from the event don't make much sense, for sure.  Submit your best caption for the picture above in the comments and you could win 50 packets of Hornet Juice! (Shipping address has to be in U.S.A.)

Ok, we're going to let this one run for another day because the comments are still coming in.  Very entertaining, for sure. :)

TDF Scandal Poll

We all know the race directors made it rain the first two days of racing and that the course was specifically designed to let Armstrong win and everybody else lose.  That's obvious.  But there's still a few unanswered questions out there about other shenanigans that can only be answered by a non-scientific poll.  Have at it!

 Which TDF Scandal is Not True?

• The Schleck brothers are actually one guy and a series of mirrors designed by Shimano.
• Fabian "Sparticus" Cancellara has a motor in his bike that is powered by the souls of the Nonbelievers.
• Bob Roll says "Tour DAY France" on purpose because he knows the French hate it.
• Contador went out on the course the night before Stage Three, placing a sharpened spoke between two cobblestones to give Armstrong a flat. He then flew into the night aboard a jewel encrusted unicorn

"This Looks Safe"

Enjoy watching the crashes of the Tour de France? Then you'll love the tangible danger of this vid:

No crashing in this take, though.  

The best part is the supportive spouse stating confident comments like -

"This looks safe."

"Are you going to wear a helmet?"
