For the Sake of Racing »
David Millar is one of my favorite riders in the pro peloton. His frank nature on all topics great and small is what makes him respectable to the PRO and avid couch cyclist alike. Mr. Millar recently impressed himself upon Bill Strickland and Sitting In blog. I just love what he has to say about loving his sport. And let’s not forget that he’s one of only handful of pros who have tested positive and had the balls to fess up to it all. One very recently news-prominent former cyclist should have taken some cues from the grounded Briton .
Bookman
One of the greatest Seinfeld rants ever. Lt. Bookman, Library Cop:
Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y’know that little stamp, the one that says “New York Public Library”? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I’ve seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. What’s this guy making such a big stink about old library books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we’re too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn’t HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you’d better think again. This is about that kid’s right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that’s how y’get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time is over. Y’got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!
