[...] can’t recall whether we came to a consensus over whether Vino’ was the Hulk or The Thing. Frankly, he’s been laying low so far this Vuelta, so I’d like to focus more on [...]

erikv is right – it’s The Thing. The Thing is made of rock, remember? “It’s clobberin’ time!” Sigh – oh Vino, tacky, tacky.

Phil/Real Deal/Dan,

Your IP address is still 64.191.211.54, same as the other two names you’ve used to post from here. Try posting from home next time you want to sock-puppet.

You could be bouncing your packets through someone else’s computer, but I feel like the College Board would protect their infrastructure a little better than that. Maybe I’ll send them an email and ask.

Even if you weren’t really, really bad at the Internet, your arguments are so poor that they reveal both your identity and your idiocy—no one here takes you seriously. Do yourself a favor and find someone else to troll.

This past weekend, George Hincappie won the stars and stripes for the third time. His first win was way back in 1998. Not only is he getting up there in age, but he broke is collar bone five weeks ago.

This seems to me like the perfect storm for a doping allegation. Why isn’t Big George Hincappie more of a lightning rod??

Cosmo, why do you give Big White George Hincappie a free ride, but question Usain Bolt? I think you would be much more senstitve in your remarks if there were more black men and women in the peloton, but you have to take a good look at yourself and ask that question.

The whole image looks drug induced. the intent must be lost in translation, Borat must be his PR consultant.

Vino’s appeal always lay his seemingly inhuman ability to take punishment — like he was some hardened Gulag prisoner who’d made it across the steppes alone on foot and now was racing a bike for kicks. I’ll admit that, post-drugs, it’s a little hard to engage in flights of fancy like that, but so far I’m game.

Vino is becoming a caricature-cartoon character.

Does he have some PR/Style consultant? Or is this really his vision of himself?

So bizarre, but maybe he doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks anymore.

Of course, that’s not the Hulk. It’s the Thing. Perhaps more suitable.
