Groovenstein Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/tdf2005/news/story?id=2115344 Seven straight Tours de France. One of the best athletes in the world, nevermind that he had to beat testicle cancer along the way. Phooey on anyone who says he's "a god" or "too good to be human." He's exactly what a human is supposed to be. Congratulations, Mr. Armstrong, on your marvelous achievement, and thank you for A LOT of inspiration.

studentofobjectivism Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I'm sure the French loved an American winning and surpassing all other cyclists on French soil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Just a little bit? Geez Felipe, you have to ruin my happy party with semantics? Next time I'll be sure to edit more carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloNoble6 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) LOL, it wasn't a complaint. I was expressing my own response to his example, not indignation over your words. Under the carpet; let's celebrate. I just noticed your editorial note... bastard. Edited July 24, 2005 by Felipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Under the carpet, let's celebrate. I usually prefer to celebrate in well ventilated areas, but I guess I'm up for a new cultural experience. I just hope it's not too hot under there. Man, I'm on a comedic roll today.

HaloNoble6 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I knew it, hence why I edited my post before you got the chance to pounce on me. Hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Late again. Blast! This isn't the first time I've suffered due to my small stature. Sorry, but your ellipses followed by "bastard" got me on a Family Guy kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottkursk Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I know there are at least 2 Austinites on the board so there are 2 of us that are especially stoked. Trust me, the city of Austin is going to be literally on fire tomorrow. I only wish I was there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
