		<description>Andy,
Three  questions:

Who gave you the nickname,&quot;Ernie&quot; ( I think I already know why)?
When was the last time you got to hang out or talk with Sterling M?
Did you know that Neel was riding again?</description>

		<description>andy,
can you still (or could you ever) pee whilst staying
on and pedaling your bike? do you have to have someone
hold your saddle whilst doing said peeing? do people in
italy pee and if so, do they do it on their bikes?
 
thank you very much. </description>

		<description>Botched - i asked that same question to my brother in law who lives in Italy, and he said soccer is HUGE while cycling is not nearly as big as you would think. Soccer is like the NFL and cycling is more like the NHL, very passionate fans, but a minority, sporting fan-wise. At least that&#039;s his thoughts on the subject.</description>

		<description>I do have a serious question for Andy that has to do with the relative popularity of cycling and how kids are introduced to it. How does cycling compare to soccer and other sports in Italy (I know soccer isn&#039;t popular at all in Italy, but football is, but since football isn&#039;t Football to me, I can&#039;t call soccer Football)?
 
Are there cycling clubs/races for younger folks in italy/what do they do to make sure young folks get into cycling?

		<description>Andy, what advice would you give an aspiring blogger? What&#039;s it gonna take to get some races in America that can compete long-term with the European classics and tours?</description>

		<description>Andy,
  What did Fatty promise to give you in exchange for this interview (a Volvo)?
  Do you know that you aren&#039;t going to get it?
 
I can&#039;t believe that nobody else made that joke, so I felt obligated.  I&#039;ve never tried to win anything, and frankly come to the site for good writing and funny comments.  It just seems that not giving prizes is what Fatty is known for, so I threw it in.
 
Happy 40th Fatty... On the bright side, you are still over 50 years younger than my average personal training client.</description>
