That team has been coming on and riding better and better. But no way are they capable of helping a
rider contest the Tour de France GC win.

It's all about the Benjamins.

"les Benjamins," s'il vous plait.

It's a tough job having the world revolve around you sometimes.

That was actually my second choice on response, the first being "But we only have one
Benjamin here..."

While trying to do this I realized that though I used to speak French poorly, now I really can't
speak it at all. Never had a grasp of idiom, anyway. BTW, I did use Babelfish as a dictionary, its

Now that is embarrassing! I'm pretty sure it was GM Melle Mel who delivers "The Message" but all my
12-inches are in an attic on the other side of the country so I can't check.

-Benjamin I remember people bringing those 12 inches to school and handing them back and forth
on the bus.
