    I'm funnier in person. When can I come visit?

    Seriously though, did you see him at the press conference for AToC? Couldn't tell if it was Tyyyyy-luuuuhr from Rock Racing or Tyler, new general manager of Spearmint Rhino gentlemen's club.

    In his defense, sports photographers know jack about adjusting white balance on DSLRs indoors. I can attest to that, not my area, but that only addresses the horrible lighting and icky color hues.

    And if he had the original VeloCowgirl at his side this never would have happened.

    Straw? In the winter? What were locals congratulating him or mocking him? Felt hats in the winter, straw hats in the summer. Sheesh! All hat, no cattle fo' sho!

    Hope they didn't get any of that 1/2lb of makeup on his most courageous jersey. When I rule the world podium girls will be wrenches from local shops that still have Phil's grease all over them and their hair in ponytails because it stays out of their faces while fixing flat number 50 for the day.

    Haha!! My husband and I argued the podium girls did or did not look tacky. I told him "Well my money is they can't ride a bike without training wheels". Glad you seem to be in better spirits.

    It's been done, in motorsports. Umbrella Girls USA specifically hires women who ride. So they've still got b00bs out to here and legs up to there, but they've also got scars from roadrash and orthopedic surgery everywhere. Whatever.

    Honestly, I really do get feeling and acknowledging one's sexual power, but I don't get why lawyers who race motorcycles feel the need to dress up like bimbos and drape themselves over pro race winners. The pay can't be that good.
