Straight Outta PROvo...

Blogging is so '06. Blog-quitting is this years' blogging.
An honest question...
Noting the lack of comments recently (am I suddenly less interesting??), I pose this question to you, the faithful reader: Am I getting more or less retarded with my salutes with age? cyclingnews.com/photos/?id=2002/may02/sanluisrey/ryan OR truesport.com/Bike/2006/photos/antelope04.html Thanks, R"Not At All Vain" B

Oh yeah, we got the director sorted, so please stop sending me resumes, bundles of cash, etc.  Ok, keep it up with the bundles of cash, we might still work something out.

Well, you're getting some serious competition from DH and there's still only 3 of us readers here. You do the math. ;)

The three readers/talking yourself down thing is totally not me.  I think the counter is wrong and I have about a razillion views per thread.

Ryan Barrett said:

...and you didn't give an opinion.  The question is: More or less retarded RB salute '02 OR Turbo Salute '06??

am I to assume that your email asking me to be team manager was only sent b/c no one else responded?!?

jrad said:

is it b/c I made fun of your lack of spell check?
# July 14, 2006 12:17 PM

jrad said:

or is it b/c I didn't ride with you today?
# July 14, 2006 12:18 PM

jrad said:

or perhaps b/c I can't do flips?

Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't catch the question. RB, in truth I'm actually jealous of any victory salute! I already know that when I win a race I'll just do the papal greeting.

You're OK as long as you don't do the Virenque/Travolta salute (dorky!).

are you trying to decide which one to use for the sundance hillclimb tomorrow?
# July 14, 2006 1:37 PM

Ryan Barrett said:

Dear Dave,
No.  In the extraordinarily unlikely event of a hillclimb victory, I will (because McEwen the rights to the "running man") do either the robot or pop-n-lock.

Carry a Sharpie in your sock.  Autograph your chamois and throw it into the throngs of cheering spectators.  Or at Phil Liggit.

Ryan Barrett said:

Oh yeah, and because I have reached my quota of comments (thanks J-Rad), I will now let you know the answer.  The Mop was close with "equally retarded", but the answer is that I appear (appearances may be deceiving) to be less retarded in the more recent photo.  That or I was flashing some gang signs back in '02.
Thanks for playing.

Ryan Barrett said:

Dear JJ,
The expression "autograph your chamois" has a completely different meaning where I come from.  Sorry folks, just remember, I didn't bring it up.
PS- We are rolling now (comments wise).
Thanks.

Pity comments count for 1/2. Sorry.

The Mop said:

I still want the pictures of the "Pop'N Lock" Steve Tilford did in minnesota. I'm suspecting it's a thing of myth.

see if we can break a comment record here.
# July 14, 2006 2:00 PM

Ryan Barrett said:

Yes, we have a new record!!
"I'd like to thank the academy..."
and to think Sandy hasn't even put up one comment.
# July 14, 2006 2:20 PM

The Mop said:

   It's all part of the conspiracy.(sandy not posting).... I forgot to add that....... Someone had to......

You were interesting? I must have missed that post...

Keep blogging.

Okay, I've waited and read all of the comments above, and here's my take. A general lack of comments stems from the scientific phenomina known as commentus impervious. Generally the symptoms range from loser-hood to no-friendsitis.  I'd say you've got both. Oh, and the Mop is right, people not leaving comments is part of the conspiracy. C'mon, you couldn't tell? And to think it is only July. Sheesh!

I read every day although I was asked not to ever comment by "them" but today I am breaking the silence.  Oh crud, wait a second...Sys Admin Icon just started on the corner of my machine.....Their here!

Ryan Barrett said:

So, here's the thing... TMac can come on and attempt to insult me, but it only adds another comment, thereby building up my ego (sad, I know).  Anyway, thanks for the comments, gang.
