BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

In the wake of incessant doping questioning, Bradley Wiggins has finally authored an articulate response in The Guardian, which you probably shouldn't visit if you're one of those spoiler-phobes, because it's 2012 and newspapers now like to publish sporting news that's less than 24 hours old on their websites:

I thought his response was both thoughtful and convincing, and my only critique from a literary standpoint is that it could have used more "cunts."

Meanwhile, yesterday skinhead clothiers Fred Perry announced a "collabo" with the Tour de France leader (or at least he was the Tour de France leader as of yesterday, I'm not saying whether or not he's still leading it today since that would be a spoiler):


(Oscar-winning actor Adrian Brody dons an obvious mod wig to model the new Wiggins shirt.)

Sure, Bradley Wiggins may have hair (and pretty funny-looking hair at that), but he does like to overturn tables and say "cunt" a lot, and this new venture is sure to put the "labia" in "collaboration:"


We're excited to announce that the first pieces from the Bradley Wiggins X Fred Perry Collaboration are available online and in selected Authentic shops as of today. The launch marks the start of a 6 season collaboration with the Olympic cyclist and mod enthusiast, who also happens to be the current Tour de France leader - go Wiggo!

I was particularly intrigued by the "Bradley stripe:"

The unique slim fit cotton pique shirt is finished with ‘GB tape’ around the neckline, retro metal zips, single zipped pocket to the rear hem and an especially designed ‘Bradley stripe’ around the tip of the sleeves.


Boldly, Wiggins seems to have taken credit for designing the UCI World Champion stripes and then renamed them after himself, which is just the sort of audacity you need to become a Tour de France winner-cum-fashion designer.  (Assuming Bradley Wiggins hasn't crashed out of the Tour de France after colliding with a spectator dressed as a gigantic vagina, I'm not saying whether he did or he didn't, because that would be a spoiler.)  Anyway, just to recap, here are the new terms for the sporting insignias and accolades Bradley Wiggins has retroactively designed:


"Bradley Stripes"




"Wiggins Rings"




"The Bradley Marc Wiggins Gilded Cunt Of Glory"


("Gold Cunt Fever: Catch It!")

Speaking of sports, a reader forwarded me the following article about pickup basketball:


Mostly because there's a tangential mention of bicycles and Portland:

The beat-up Raleigh, with derailleurs missing teeth, causes me to lurch when I pedal, but it is the best way to find courts. I typically put my sneakers, ball and water bottle into a backpack, strap on a helmet and head in a general direction.


Biking in New York is an adjustment from Portland, Ore., where I went to college. In Portland, bike lanes are plentiful and drivers almost always expect bicyclists to be nearby. In New York, there are more obstacles on the streets than in a game of Mario Kart. I’ve had to dodge opening car doors, gushing fire hydrants, texting pedestrians and bikers going the wrong way on one-way streets like vehicular spawning salmon.


Before you even make it to the courts, it’s as if you have been fouled a thousand times.

I actually enjoyed the article, partially because I know nothing about basketball and it was an interesting perspective, and partially because as someone who knows nothing about basketball the associated jargon sounds incredibly dirty to me:

In Brooklyn, I check a map, look for green spots, and within half an hour I am sweaty and shooting.

My street vernacular is a little rusty, but as far as I can tell this means he was looking for places to buy marijuana and ended up engaged in anonymous sex.  And I'm not even going to touch this one:

 I channeled my inner Kevin Garnett and got right up into Butters with my body.

I'm sure if you're a basketball fan that doesn't even register, but after reading that I felt like taking a shower.  It's almost as bad as this:


A reader sent me this because there's a picture of the time-traveling t-shirt-wearing retro-Fred from the planet Tridork Bret somewhere on there, but all I noticed was the description of "Hunter's Plan:"



From what I can tell, "Hunter's Plan" sounds like it might involve some city-slickers going on a rafting trip and then having a graphic encounter with some hillbillies.


And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll be spoiled in a good way, and if you're wrong you may or may not see a spoiler.


Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and if your ride makes you burn and drool, you should probably put a saddle on your bike.

William Shakespeare said...

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

Mr. Bike Snob; Basketball was invented in the United States by a Canadian and has been played by Mexicans (Aztecs and Mayas)as well as Central and South Americans for centuries, long before cycling became a twinkle in anyones eye. One of your 17 kids may wish to take it up, so you need to learn about it. P.S. if you had gone to school in the U.S. you would have a rudimentary knowledge of the game.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Tomorrow's stage to Cap D'Agde was won by Eric Zabel in a sprint finish, just ahead of Mario Cipollini. While Zabel celebrated on the podium, Cipollini was spotted strolling through his hotel's lobby toward the elevators with Zabel's wife and her 2 sisters.

Its been a cunt-tastic week here on the Commentariat Page for usage of the word, "cunt." It's threatening to subplant scranus in popularity (although several were quick to join them together, such as scranus-cunt, or cunt-scranus).

CC,
I could not agree more. While 98% of my basic existence orbits and hinges on the touching, tasting, fondling, and general procurement of that magnificent marvel of female anatomy(1% riding, 1% eating[the continuation of being physically alive kind]), I could never understand why someone would use it as a negative reference.

My dog reports that this morning the bewhiskered visage of Bradley Wiggins appeared on a tortilla he was grilling thus presaging greatness at the Vuelta A Espana.

My dog ate it before I could confirm.

Tomorrow he's making crepes even though he claims he already knows who's French Toast at the TdF.

Ride portentously all!

Speaking of cocksuckers and vags' can we PLEASE have some background info on the Amazon in the red dress. I assume she is not wearing panties.

torpedo onion said...

Wiggo looks like an original member of The Who. Not the dead ones who imbibed too much booze and dope. but the live ones who did just enough booze and dope. But I'm sure he didn't cause I don't want to get hit by a flying chair, but a vagina would be OK.

Quilled and Lugged said...

"How do you spell odgie bodgie?"

It's spelled jiggery-pokery.

Is it wrong to covet one of those Fred Perry tops? It's not like I don't have enough Freds already - I'm talking shirts here.

...i had an odgie bodgie when i was a kid but it died...

I just put a very sneaky 12 minutes on a dormant,unsuspecting GC. And of course by GC I mean Greasy Cunt.

Finally, because I can't sleep: in fairness to that press conference, it looks like they closed at least some of the car lanes as well.

Anonymous said...

Me again. Actually on second look, it seems they were probably using the separation space between the bike lane and car traffic, so they were just crapping on the cyclists as you said, the arsing cunts. Typical New Amsterdam shit.
