    TDF - Trek Tour Mania/Saab Fly to the Finish - What have you won?

    Two Powerbars.

    Beats a poke in the eye, but I'm hoping for more.

    What a scam.
    Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn.

    What a dumb ass I am.

    I haven't watched today's stage yet. I saw Crinkle's post above with the word of the day, so I go the Fly to the Finish website to try my luck yet again. And what do I see? The stage results, of course. Nooooo!

    Shit! I hate it when that happens!

    If you can, would you consider adding your prize to the Kicking Cancer's Ass auction.

    We had everything from the crash on TiVOed, but I just scrolled back and didn't see it.

    The word today is "domestique." I just discovered this game. Does anyone have a list of the old words? I think you can enter the old ones right?

    Thanks Richard. Good seeing you and Mr. AG again, and meeting Rotorhead. And it was nice seeing Boris, whom I have never seen not at Alta. But damn he rips on a bike.

    Yeah, I only saw the aftermath of your crash, but the hole in your asspants sure looked nasty. You should have gotten the 575. I bet you wouldn't have crashed on that bike.

    I entered them all and won nothing. Damn you and your free power bars!

    I've put a ribbon and your name on one of the Powerbars. Can we please be pals again.
