...at least that is what the CliffsNotes says

Don't be like that TFF - we've 'unleashed' some passionate prose from Hombre - I for one, don't want it to stop. We all have to raise the tone of the debate (he says, after three posts) and bobke/Hombre is just doing his bit.

edit: plus, I want to find out what a preverbal experience is. Sounds exciting.

Hey, you don't stop to spell check when you are on a roll....SAT vocabulary and a 1st grade level of spelling...dyslexia is a bitch..also, if I'm being honest, using "asshole" twice in such close proximity and using "righteous" twice in the same paragraph lead me to the conclusion that it is a B- at best, maybe even a C+. It is never in the writing, it is in the re-writing, which with the quote function, make it impossible to erase mistakes...<sulks away with his head down>

Oh, if this bobke fella is really Bob Roll, dude, I had coffee with you in Athens GA once when you rode for Soft-Ride with a bunch of guys from Sunshine Cycles

Famous for posts such as this one:

Still not sure what it was about the scream that convinced him.

Definitely beats a C+ though: I think tenor of the prose needs the repetition - it all meshes with the obsessive character you were channelling - just like the repetition of 'raise the level' - you're just inhabiting your character, like Carey did in the True History of the Kelly Gang or whatever it's called - and that got him a Booker Prize.

You have to admit, that based on fact, if someone can keep up with Lance in the mountains they must be doping is not that unrealistic: Basso, Jan, Heras, Pantani... RIGHT? Who else finished with him at a mountain top?"

Great moments in stupidity. Hombre/bobke believes anyone who can keep up with Armstrong while climbing must be doping, but Armstrong was clean.

That post should probably be enshrined in the "Other Forum Follies" thread. It's just so incredibly dumb.

It goes to show to what extent rational thinking and the logical part of the brain shuts down in some people when worshipping heroes.

I have only come over here a couple of times. I post on another forum and have heard that you guys are seriously deranged in your hatred of Lance. Why do you hate him so much? He won a race 7 times and you can't seem to stand that. Do you hate all success? Is it just the hatred of America that drives you? I have flag underwear, so I cannot for the life of me understand people such as you. Even if he did dope, which he didn't, he was beating people who have tested positive since. He would have won the TDF no matter what. I am pretty sure that you guys have other reasons to hate, like jealousy you couldn't hold his wheel on a light day even now.

My first thought would be someone from DPF. Helmut? Hmm. That's an idea too!
