A week ago I had fun with this site:<br />[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Wii Live Tournaments[/url] <br />They say you can play online FIFA Soccer game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea... <br />Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-31947416219782658542009-04-04T08:08:00.000-04:002009-04-04T08:08:00.000-04:00lanterne rougelanterne rougeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-47619287230146045692007-09-03T11:53:00.000-04:002007-09-03T11:53:00.000-04:00Bike Snob!Being that you are well on your way to b...Bike Snob!<BR/><BR/>Being that you are well on your way to becoming a net bike-guru I wonder if you’d answer a question from a totally lame novice biker?<BR/><BR/>I’m a totally lame biker and have no intention of riding in traffic or up mountains, I do however enjoy dawdling along the many pretty bike paths that my city is blessed with.<BR/><BR/>The crux of my problem is that after having been bikeless since childhood I got caught up in the “fixed gear” hype and, totally misunderstanding the whole thing, ended up buying a real cheapskate one-speed Chinese bike. This bike weighs about the same as the type 96 tank and I have an asthma attack going up disabled ramps.<BR/><BR/>I need some gears, but eighteen gears just sounds too overcomplicated to me. I’m thinking of buying a six-gear girls bike. As well as a fear of traffic I have a fear of bruising my nuts on cross bars and absolutely no shame about being perceived as totally gay to people passing me on £500 mountain bikes who only use them to go to Asda to buy croissants for breakfast on Sunday morning.<BR/><BR/>Would a six-speed be up to the task of taking on modest inclines at average speeds?<BR/><BR/>Great blog even for the occasional cyclist BTW<BR/><BR/>Regards!<BR/><BR/>CrapbikerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-8801698855929749142007-07-18T21:06:00.000-04:002007-07-18T21:06:00.000-04:00Stuart at 7.25.. get fucked!

I see them snearing down their nose at me as I'm finishing up my 5 hour training ride through the middle of town, while I blow past them (not moving very fast by the way) while they're trying to figure out this "biking" thing. And the best part, in the town that I live in, all the smelly hipster kids are trying to desperately be bike messengers, with their Chrome bags, rolled up pants, fixed gears, and riding about, oh, 500 feet. Hey! Guess what kids? You're not a messenger, and you don't like in Manhattan you live in Chapel Hill, NC, and you're not cool. And well, neither am I. But at least I know it.giantcu92https://www.blogger.com/profile/04742723264333559768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-63739219605199547802007-07-09T17:59:00.000-04:002007-07-09T17:59:00.000-04:00Bravo!

Every couple of years cycling trys to re-image it self as some cool new lifestyle &/or extreme sport. Well folks it's just not cool and never will be (at least since the 1890s) cool to be a cyclist.
