As giddy as Levi Leipheimer after hypnosis:

Having a link from the BikeSnobNYC is like the grand poobah Lance Armstrong taking a break from destroying everyone on the tour to come ride RAGBRAI with you. It’s like Ted Nugent taking a Saturday off from hunting big game to hunt squirrels with you. It’s like Bruce Jenner taking a pause from Wheaties box photo shoots to pole vault over your fence, it’s like Michael Phelps foregoing a bong hit to come party with you. It’s like David Letterman kicking Joaquin Phoenix off the stage to interview you. To say it in no less words, it’s cool!

I’m glad that Miahael Phelps has found his niche.

“Ah, yes. We American cyclists are constantly subjected to stories of the cycling paradise which is Holland, where people pedal happily to and fro on bicycles without fear of injury, and where drivers are not only required to yield to cyclists but also to exit their vehicles and supplicate themselves before them, and where the junkies wash and detail riders’ bikes instead of stealing them. Nothing bad could possibly happen to a Dutch person on a bicycle—in Holland. But New York City is another story. So I explained to her that while she may be Dutch that most of the drivers around her are not, and thus she might want to refrain from bike-salmoning.”

Save The Plastic Bag

Save The Plastic Bag:

This is, for whatever reason, really amusing. I have this picture in my head of a smoke filled room with the fat cats from big oil and the military-industrial complex and the world supergovernment/alien alliance all planning their devious deeds, while the maître d’ won’t let the rep from the Big Plastic Bag industry in to the room. Which almost makes me feel sorry for him.

Casino profile details luxurious lifestyle of former Fry's executive:

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Hotel butlers shared notes, reminding each other that when Mr. S visited, “no one is to enter the suite unescorted or unannounced except the butler assigned.” And when Siddiqui was entertaining, the notes remind staff that the “butler will need to maintain a presence, if not in the room, then in the pantry with the door open so requests can be heard.” The staff knew when to leave, too. Siddiqui will “dismiss you by requesting privacy. He will be very direct with this request. Leave until he contacts you.”

Siddiqui never drank when he was gambling, one casino employee said. However, his guest profile shows, he liked his room stocked with Grey Goose vodka, Crown Royal, Johnnie Walker Black, Jack Daniels, Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur, Dom Perignon, Kurosawa Sake and expensive cognac bottles of Hardy Perfection and Remy Martin Louis XIII.
