dissapointing

Yeah, I'm calling someone out on something I saw in the parking lot at TP. Sure I walked right past his bald head and soul patch to say hey to Cronoman, but he caught me with his smirky grin and "hey G" comment. There, parked kitty corner to me was Lube Boy getting dressed up in his black kit. I registered the svelte stuff, but not the bald giant egg dome he's sporting right now. Like a friend's dad used to tell us in high school "God only made a few perfect heads, the rest he covered in hair." Of course Mr. Brown was bald.

So I'm calling him out. Yeah. Very incredulous grounds. Here he was dumping an iridescent blue liquid into his waterbottles and then drinking the rest. Nice 32 oz plastic bottles of HFCS calories and blue dye #2.

I expect that out of plenty of people. But this guy? Man is there no hope for the human race!? (tongue-in-cheek, it is startling funny not grumpy angry funny).

Fuel is fuel and fructose works but man, he's drinking something that is only carbonation short of fizzy pop in the bike race.

I gave him shit right then and there and he countered well with, "Did you bring me some of your home made stuff?" I did fine with my two bottles of Power Bar Endurance refuel. I've been using this stuff since OSJL had it on sale. Not quite as pure as my home made stuff but, i've succumb to fighting other battles and this is just so damn convenient, and it isn't HFCS and it has enough sodium for me. It works. But then looking at Lube Boy's results, well that bright blue shit works for him too!

Nothing beats Coca-Cola! The stuff's like medicine, during (diluted) and after (full strength) the race.

Gotta be the Mexican stuff or Willi will shun it.

or the Kosher stuff... canadian coke was also okay (but they may have changed).

But in general, it has caffeine so I tend to avoid it now anyway. not to mention the rest of the crap it does to you. bad stuff like sucking calcium out of your bones...

I'm more disappointed by the soul patch

gewilli said...

that baby mouse he has living on his chin is pretty distracting...

i guess you grow it where you can, not where you want to...

I have no idea wtf you are talking about 3/4 of the time.

um.....check my results versus yours,...try the blue stuff, and did you think maybe just for one second, the fact that i shaved my head clean was to make me faster? Oh, and the soul patch,....well just ask your..........silly G.

Here's what the _real_ racers drink.

gewilli said...

hey - Lube Boy, if you'd been drinking something other than unfizzy neon blue pop, MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE WON instead of being a lame 5th place. Dead smack in the middle of your breakaway.

Don't hate me because I am faster than you.......oh, and I pulled the final 2 laps with Leo & Josh, and lead a teammate out for 3rd with 200 to go....and stayed in a break that had 5:43 on the field, and placed ......how'd your race go again?...(oh, and believe u me, I am the first to admit i suck at cycling,....but throw stones at my head you better be prepared to get some tossed back)....poser.

oh, and it (the blue stuff) was Gatorade.....get off your soap box dude,....oh, and have you seen the corn growers association message on high fructose corn syrup,...what's wrong with it again Geoffrey?...poser

gewilli said...

wow, suddenly I'd think you are working for Monsanto.

gary would be so proud.

Well, looking at your times, sure you did an extra lap compared to the Cat 4s but yall weren't any faster. Break or no break.

gewilli said...

And the soul patch is still stupid.

gewilli said...

And if you're going to try and use the word poseur, please attempt to spell it correctly.

Punk.

gewilli said...

and just in case you aren't getting it, i'm cracking up reading your comments and firing back.

Lucky I am laughing....at HOW stupid you are...(oh and me)....sheesh,...now can you cure disease?

gewilli said...

I might be a god but i'm not that God, so yeah, nope.

Can't cure disease... but maybe you should stick with the iridescent blue stuff, it might have secret medicinal properties!
