Thong guy was really booking it.
The Chicken was a hoot and unfortunately, I saw the penis.
Did anyone see the guy with the elk horns? It was HUGE!

Chickenman
When Will and I saw the chicken, we both launched into "Chickennnnnnn mannnnnn...."
If you have XM radio, you can hear Chickenman episodes on 151. They're leftover comedy skits from the 60s. They're not that funny anymore because they have dated material that 13 yo boys don't quite get. But they're still a blast from my Chicago past.

LOL, if you missed the live show when the g-string dude popped up on the right side of the screen, phil said, "now there's a fit athelete there..." I am so glad I had DVR so I got to rewind to enjoy the laugh again.
The chicken man was quite funny too.
Today there were two guys in Boygues Telecom jerseys who ran along the right side of the road and mooned the camera....

I missed that commentary! Maybe I was too busy looking. lol.
Today I was struck by how much they used the word "boy" to describe all the riders. "He's a tough boy." "For a boy so,..." crazy. I can't tell if it's fatherly, patronizing, European, or gay. lol.

I tend to think of 'em as boys too, but maybe even more often as "kids" -- maybe cuz I'm old enough to be most of their moms?

Yup, it's hard not to think of them as "boys" when you could be their mom.
(and I'm gay, but that's not why I think of them as "boys"!

Don't say that, Knotted.
I think I am one of their team-mates and am sitting by the phone with my bag packed ready to save the day in the next Big Tour if someone has a major crash.
(It goes like this: someone will get injured badly and they will say "Only margo can help us now." Then they will phone and I will be flown to a Fancy Training Camp with all the trimmings. Stopping on the way at a Big Shop where I will point at 1000 things and say things like "Perhaps you have that in a lighter shade" or "Do you have that in WSD" and they will pay...they will all call me "Mademoiselle" too!)
All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!
