Are you sure it's not a family sport?

Apart from that nonsense, sports are often a family affair. Athletes run in
families. Beth and Eric Heiden, lots of twins, brothers and sisters in
cycling, cousins, etc. In fact some extremely big high profile world class
races are run by parents who have a world class son or daughter competing in
the race. In a sense, it is a triple wide trailer park, and quite mobile.
While some of the nepotism that goes on keeps some otherwise good people out
of the loop, that's what we got. It's not uncommon in other sports.

Why even try to respond decently to people who always greet each other as
"Dumbass" always? Those are the village idiots and don't deserve a
reasonable reply.

Only clueless non-native English speakers would think that was somehow funny
or clever.

Tom, we all know who started the Dumbass line a long time ago, but I guess
someone had to take AA place in rbr. However, I offer this link, got it
right this time. You said I didn't know the difference between a camel
jockey and a shiva worshipper. Hope this corrects things.

Well, I know who started that salutation but it was the non-native speakers
who didn't understand that he was a blithering idiot and that they shouldn't
try to emulate him.

The picture is funny.

Dumbass,

What makes you think that Henry and/or Amit are not
native English speakers? That seems to be what you
are trying to insinuate in your usual stumbling manner.

I've never spoken to either in real life, but they write
English more clearly and comprehensibly than
you and Bruce do. Are you and Bruce native English
speakers?

Ben

P.S. I don't think "Dumbass" is funny. I think it's
deadly serious.

Dumbass -

The funniest part is when some dumbasses have such a thin skin that
they take offense to being called a dumbass.

Unfortunately, there haven't been dumbasses threatening to travel to
California and kick my ass lately. Those dumbasses were the best.

thanks,

Perhaps being non-US qualifies you as a non-native English speaker.
Anyway pseudo english writers with a newsreader that doesn't quote
properly are much less comprehensible than us non natives.

Are Native Americans non native English speakers? That would be
confusing.

Dumbass,

Fred,

Is that what you really want? A jersey that says "dumbass"?

There you go, you think it's all about calling someone _else_ a dumbass.
That's where you've blown it.

I LIKE people that don't have tiny, fragile egos. People with the
ability to recognize that they are occasionally dumbasses are more fun
to be around than those who get defensive over everything. Sometimes the
proper response is "Yes, I was a dumbass."

Dumbass,

I meant it as in it would be good to rotate in with a "LIVEDRUNK" or a
"fred" jersey.

I own a "Crash Test Dummy" jersey already. Not quite a "Dumbass" jersey,
but easier to find. Finding a "Fred" jersey is a priority now.

Dumbass -

Our collegiate cycling team (UCSan Diego) used to have a Fred
skinsuit. It was just like a Superman suit with the red underwear over
blue tights and the whole bit except there was an "F" on the front
instead of an "S". On the back it said "UCSD Fred of the Week" and on
the ass it said "FRED".

We had 8 of them made. I'm not sure how many of them still exist. I
got mine signed by LANCE (believe it or not) right after he came back
from cancer (and before he won anything). We offered to let him wear
one, but he dismissed the idea in his typical arrogant fashion. At
least he thought it was funny.

I'm gonna start taking a series of photos of hot girls in the Fred
Suit. I meet a lot of hot girls in my line of work - shoulda started
doing that a long time ago. It'd make quite a little album.

A couple nights ago, I did a google search for "Fred cycling jersey" and
immediately found a link to a page mentioning UCSD and YOU specifically.
You should be proud!

Ahhh.....I think the idea is you're suppose to take photos of chicks with
nothing on, not in Fredsuits. One is cool, the latter is gay. From now on,
I suggest you do all your shopping in the men's department at JCPenney.


Thanks,
