Lance Armstrong D:<
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

He shouldn't fought back at the cancer. <!--emo&:flee:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/flee.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flee.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br><br>What's up with all the hating?
I wonder if it'll finally get it's own forum too. I've always wanted a place online where I can talk about O&M.

It's not that I hate him, it's just I'm bored of it already. If it was the Red Sox winning 7 World Series in a row you wouldn't here many people cheering.

And thus, my total disregard for sports triumphs again! For all I know Armstrong is the guy that landed on the moon! ... If I pretend that Lance is a short version of Neil...

I'm afraid cycling isn't exactly my favourite sport.<br><br>I'd talk cricket with you, but I'm a bit down after England lost the first test of the Ashes.

Is it a bad thing that I only know what the Ashes are from Douglas Adam's refrence to them in the hitchhiker trilogy?

Ok, so Lance Armstrong got a testicle removed because of his testicular cancer. Then, they play it up like some sort of miracle, like he had a football-sized brain tumor or something. He gets massive amounts of money from nowhere, enough that he has all the best stuff, and a team of riders to surround him and wear out his opponents. This should not be such big news. The Tour De France is a joke anymore, it's basically a media wank-fest over how great Lance Armstrong is.

Plus, he also left his previous wife and kids for Sheryl Crow, or someone like that.
