It is as if Mr. Ball needs to reassure himself that, if he can just hold out long enough, there will be big payoff for the millions he's poured into his rag tag team of misfits (it shouldn't take long if the hordes line up like they're supposed to and purchase $230 lycra bib shorts). <BR/><BR/>The wart on my ass has similar meager ambitions; content with his small place in the world. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the builders of the Titanic -- with their defiant statements of an indestructible luxury cruiser -- wouldn't have angered Neptune, God of the Sea, if they had settled for such modest ends.
