Comments on: Suppressed Memory, Remembered http://www.fatcyclist.com/2006/07/03/suppressed-memory-remembered/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV. Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:21:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: barry1021 http://www.fatcyclist.com/2006/07/03/suppressed-memory-remembered/comment-page-1/#comment-503772 barry1021 Wed, 05 Jul 2006 01:36:15 +0000 http://fatcyclistspacesarchive.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/suppressed-memory-remembered#comment-503772 JSUN   Maybe you ought to insist the cats dine outdoors, LOL. We draw the line with Speedo-he can do a show and tell at the door, but that's as far as it goes. He's a great hunter though. Hey speaking of fleas, I read somewhere that the male flea's reproductive organ is one of largest relative to body size. Another reason why I should lose 40 lbs, I think....if you can't grow the numerator, shrink the denominator. Well another contender in the TDF bites the dust, Valverde went down hard, too bad. I heard Dekker and someone else went down because of a nasty pothole. This is what happens when you have a 30 hour workweek. I gotta believe that Hincapie is thinking "hey I can win this!" Unfortunately he has three teammates that are thinking the same thing. I wonder if Bruyneel has the power and determination to choose a leader at some point. Otherwise maybe Floyd and Levi have a better chance.. Can you imagine if Lance was in the TDF this year and Ullrich was out and the Tour went thru Germany the day after they lost in the World Cup?? Well Happy Independence day!   B21 JSUN
