ooooh ... zsa zsa puts Periero on the podium!
cajones!!!
we're totally working on our pics tonite.
we've got jeffe, the bunny, sabeenie, and me talking all about the wonderful exploits of the kitty people.
and, of course, we have margaritas.
oh, and i've got your clothes in sputnik ... waiting.
I told the gang that I wanted to do the picks when I was a little more sober, and I heard a round of boos.
Bunny says she is only going to pick people with 3 names.
we totally want to do this, but our attention span is at about 3 minutes right now.
Somehow the conversation has switched from Inigo to Princess Bride to how old Bunny's bunnies were when they got neutered.
Lauren should just pick THOR for every single window
top 5?
Anything after 3 is irrelevant
do you even remember who got 4th last year? Not you Ippoc, but everyone else out there.
I don't care how much they boo me...I cant pick until tomorrow
cheater!!!
Michael may do an icky rider pick
we wanna drink some margaritas (no strawberries, thank you) with you guys.
this is marscat, btw
ippoc is snoring right now and dreaming of
the tour
me after clicking on Marcat's picks: Liquigas?
Michael: thats crazy talk, isn't it?
me: totally
mars, you should totally come over right now. I bet she wouldnt even hear you if you walked out all quiet like and rolled the car down the street before starting it.

My #1 KOM should be Haimar Zubeldia Agirre.
How many points do you get if one of your picks is pulled at the last minute in a doping scandal?
I think there will be some off the beaten track racer making the podium this year...just not sure who it is yet...and no one picked Voekler for KOM...not even me.
OV-Commesso? who let tinkoff in?
Bunny-"de" also counts as one word too and I think Ventoso could be a good pick for a green jersey, but he is young still
Pabcid-blue for Astana the capital of beautiful Kazakhstan
Panda-Salvodelli is a little sick right now so not sure how he will do tomorrow
Chatterbox-ouch...no points
VB-you guys had too much fun last night...
Lauren-VB is right, Thor for you...
i think ippoc is trying to see if she can set a new record for comments......
still a little ways to go but le tour hasn't even started yet
helping the little woman reach 50
Voekler for KOM, maybe but he blows up after a big effort
Salvo sick...hmmm what does he have?
Petacchi is out this time...major bummer
Julich is not riding the tour...another bummer - not sure what happened to him
I think Julich will announce his retirement shortly...
Mr. Man told me about Savodelli when I showed him my picks, but other than that he says they're solid so I'll take that lump...
Maybe he's playing possum (two more 'till 50).
more
Thor
Good lord!
What drunken idiot filled out my bracket??
dang! I missed this while I was on vacation......
