Go Ask Alice

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
- Jefferson Airplane

Ever wonder what happened to that pudgy kid with asthma who had a note from his Mom to get out of playing dodgeball in gym? Based on the number of inhalers in the Euro peleton I would say there is a pretty good chance he grew up to be a pro cyclist. Right Alice? Either that or is he is now playing Edna in a local production of “Hairspray”. The horror.

Oh yeah, the Poetry contest. Only 2 people (besides my Mom) entered though my site so I have decided to give both of them shirts. No worries for me though I got 82 people (and counting) to enter through Google ads, at $2.20 for each entry I have made my beer money for the month. Anyway, Flahute and Newbie, thanks for playing and let me know what shirt you want.

I thought if you had asthma, your shot at a professional sports career is pretty slim, but it seems like the pro peloton has a higher percentage of asthma sufferers than the normal population? It would be interesting to get the stats of medical exemptions of the pro peloton and compare the rates to the normal population. I think the findings would show a medical exemption doping trend. Kinda what the dude does in Freakonomics when looking at professional sumo wrestlers throwing matches.
