- I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore"

-Our chicks are WAYYYY hotter than yours. Well…Miami can hang.

- I say "like" and "for sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "totally" and "peace out" and "chill" and "tight" and "bro" and I say them often

- I know what real cheese & avocados taste like

-Everyone smokes weed and its no big deal

-We’ll roll up 40 deep when something goes down.

-I live next door to Mexicans, but we call them American’s!

-All the porn you watch is made here, cause we’re better and thats how it is

- I don’t get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe, Shasta, and Big Bear

- I know 65 mph really means 100

- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and high speed chase cuz we don’t screw around on the road

- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)

- My governor can kick your governors ass

- I can go out at midnight

-You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you’re from, you give your area code

- I might get looked at funny by locals when I’m on vacation in their state, but when they find out I’m from California I turn into a Greek GOD

- We don’t stop at stop signs… we do a "california roll"

- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day

- All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here

- We’re the Golden State. Not the Cheese State. Not the Garden State…..GOLDEN!!!

- We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them)

- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more than yours, which means I’m better than you

- The best athletes come from here

WHY TEXAS IS BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA:

Hey… California listen up… Texas is where its at!

- I too can wear sandals all year long… plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won’t even stick out.

- You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"… but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now surfer boy?

- You’re chicks aren’t way hotter than ours… they are almost equal… and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye… We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.

- We’re taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma’am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yall" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world We’re famous

- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like… but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?

- Haha… who do you think grows the weed and sells it to you?

- Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done…

- I live next door to Americans, but we call them Mexicans

- About your Porn…. 3 words… "Debbie Does Dallas"… You can brag about it now, but we started it

- Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?

- We’re smart enough to know 65mph means 65, but our speed limit is 70.

- When someone cuts me off, they get run over by my big ass truck, then I give them the finger and tell them to go back to california.

- The drinking age is 21, but if you aren’t chasin the beer by 1 yr old… you’re behind.

- Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States… yours isn’t even eligible.

- You can go out at midnight? Thats nice, I haven’t even come home by then.

- Ok… you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you’re from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you’re talking about… I think you’re watching too much TV.

- Yeah, you’ll definitely get looked at funny when you come to visit but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not Greek, its French.

- Of course you don’t stop at stop signs… none of you can drive.

- You can pick up Real Mexican food 24 hours a day huh… well I can swing by home depot and pick up 24 Real Mexicans anytime of day. Can you say catering?

- All the TV shows get filmed there… but where does your favorite poker game come from? Texas Hold’em anyone?

- You can keep your golden state… We’re the Lone Star State…the one and only!!

- Do I have to remind you about the drive thru Beer Barn again? Does In-N-Out serve alcohol? (Oh and did I mention Dr. Pepper was created in Texas?)[TEXAS does have an In-N-Out as well. Liberty, Texas, baby...so stick that in your juice box and suck it!]

- You guys have the best athletes huh?… Eight words… Lance Armstrong and The University of Texas at Austin

Though I could mention MICHAEL JOHNSON - Olympic Sprinter, World record holder in 200m and 400m, 5 Olympic Gold medals, 9 time World Champion (born Dallas, TX)

Oh and remind me again who won the Rose Bowl between USC and Texas????? I believe it was the LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Football is a religion, not a sport

- In Texas, football means football, not soccer.

- 90% of football "movies" you guys are making are about Texas Football.

-Varsity Blues, filmed in Georgetown, TX - Friday Night Lights, filmed in Odessa, TX - Necessary Roughness, filmed in San Marcos, TX

- Texas is the only state that can still separate to become its own country. The only way California’s gonna accomplish that is if another earthquake comes along and you guys sink into the ocean. Can you say Atlantis…. hahaha

-Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS

Come on Texans Show Your Colors! Repost!

And as the Great Sam Houston once said "Texas could survive without the United States, but the United States could not survive without Texas"

is ivan basso related to marino basso?

can anyone tell me if the winner of the 2006 giro d’italia is related to 1972 cycling world champion marino basso?

How can heaven and hell be real?

do you actually believe that some guy with horns on his head and a funny red tail holding a staff with spikes on it is down in some place where there is fire everywhere and good people who are Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, Homosexual, ect and people who don’t know about Christianity are down there burning forever and ever just because they believed in something else that made them feel special or kept their family together. meanwhile murderers, killer, druggies, and other people who have wronged in life asked for forgiveness from "god" are up there in a cloudy, happy, sunny place thats not on earth, or in outerspace, but in some place where you float around with some guy who sits on a throne with a grandfather beard and watches everything that goes on in earth, and leaves the rest of the universe alone…if people like Gandhi, Lance Armstrong, Ellen Degeneres, and so on go to hell to burn in eternal pain and suffering then God doesn’t exist

What are the industry standards for road bike components?

It seems that there is a large community of roadies online (bikeforums, roadbikereview). Just for fun, I was wondering what the majority of people choose brand-wise for their bike builds, from online reviews, etc. (no personal bias)

From what I’ve seen:
Giro helmets
Specialized/Fizik saddles
Cinelli bar tape
Velo rim tape
Continental Gatorskin tires
Zipp wheelsets
Thomson seatpost

More suggestions? Opposing views? I’m building a bike for next summer, so it’ll be nice to know what to watch out for.
I guess it comes down to personal preference, but I guess I would like to know out of curiousity rather than for myself. Every type of cyclist has certain namebrands that they trust. For example, the Fizik Arione has had enough popularity to have ‘clones’ in the market (Nashbar GR2, Forte RS1, Douglas Apex, Sette Sonic).

Its official - Italians are synonymous with cheaters.?

We all know Juv and acm cheat and dive and they bribe ref or pay to get favourable ref.

Italian Cyclists cheat as well - "IItalian cyclist Ivan Basso has been suspended by his Discovery Channel team because of a reopened Italian Olympic Committee probe into the rider’s involvement with the Operation Puerto blood doping ring. The punishment means Basso probably won’t enter this year’s Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. "

You think Italians only cheat in competitive sports? WRONG.

Italians also conduct fraudulant performance.
"" Even Pavarotti’s longtime manager has said the Italian tenor has occasionally lip-sync’d when his lungs are tired. ""

Its official - Italians are synonymous with cheaters.

TV ratings for game 3?

thought some of you may be interested in this.

"VERSUS, the exclusive cable television home of the National Hockey League (NHL), garnered a 2.6 national HH rating and averaged 2,955,348 viewers for its Game 3 telecast of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday, June 2, with the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 4-2 defeat over the Detroit Red Wings at Mellon Arena. The game, which peaked at a 3.5 HH rating between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m., was the highest-rated and most-watched Stanley Cup Final game on cable since 2002. VERSUS, for the 8:00-10:45 p.m. time period, was the most-viewed cable network in the country and the top-rated network overall (broadcast and cable) among all key male demos.

The 2.6 national HH rating is the best rating ever in the history of the network, beating both Lance Armstrong’s final ride (7/24/05) and Game 5 between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks in the Conference Finals (5/27/09) which both earned a 2.1 HH rating. Among average viewers, the Game 3 telecast topped the network’s previous high set during Game 2 of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final (2,608,371). VERSUS’ Game 3 telecast showed a 37-percent increase in HH rating (2.6 vs 1.9) and 19-percent growth (2,955,348 vs 2,479,977) in average viewership over the average of Games 1 and 2 of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final between the Red Wings and Penguins.

Locally, VERSUS garnered a 15.1 HH rating in Detroit and a 26.1 HH rating in Pittsburgh, making VERSUS the top-rated network (broadcast and cable) for the time period in both markets. VERSUS was also a top 5 cable network for the time period in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Washington, DC and Philadelphia, among others.

VERSUS entered the 2009 Stanley Cup Final with tremendous momentum based on ratings and viewership gains in the regular season and through each round of the playoffs. The network’s coverage of the 2009 Conference Final round was the highest-rated third round on cable since 1998 with HH ratings up 25 percent and average viewership up 30 percent from 2008. The third-round growth came on the heels of VERSUS airing the highest-rated Conference Semifinals on cable since 1997 and seeing 32-percent viewership growth in that round, 22-percent viewership growth in the Conference Quarterfinals and a 21-percent increase in viewership during the regular season."

This is a big step for the NHL. How do you think the ratings for game 4 will be going up against game 1 of the NBA?
Bob- This is the only night where there is a conflict. The NBA is skipping 2 nights so their Game 2 is Sunday.
Bob- This is the only night where there is a conflict. The NBA is skipping 2 nights so their Game 2 is Sunday.
James- I would watch the NBA if it was tomorrow night, but they have it on the same night as the NHL, so I will not be watching.

Ratings for the Stanley Cup Finals?

STAMFORD, Conn. — "The Detroit Red Wings’ victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals opener was the highest-rated and most-watched cable telecast of the championship round in six years.

The Red Wings’ 4-0 win on Saturday night had a 1.8 national rating — drawing over 2.3 million viewers. The rating was the highest for an NHL game on Versus, topping the audience that watched the Penguins’ Game 2 victory over Philadelphia in this year’s Eastern Conference finals.

Only Lance Armstrong’s final ride in the 2005 Tour de France had a higher rating in Versus history (2.1).

Versus will show Game 2 of the finals on Monday night before the series shifts to NBC for the remaining games.

The Game 1 rating is a 157 percent increase over last year’s opener and a 100 percent rise from two years ago."

Who would of thought?
It also says the most televised watched in 6 years. 6 years ago was the Wings vs. Carolina.
Nips- The NBA could be looking at a Celtics/Lakers match up. That is a match up with golden ratings written all over it. I have lost all interest in the sport of basketball, wont bother looking for it on T.V.
Joe- I got my money on the West I’m pulling for the Spurs. Celts also went to game 7 against the Cavs. And will also go to game 7 against Detroit. I hope all the big free agent signing in the beginning of the season fails.

Italians are natural born cheats - AC Milan proved it, Juventus proved it even the cycalist proved it?

Why should any Italian teams allowed to play in the champions league after the scandal? The champions league committe should forfeit all AC Milan and Rome records.

Italian Olympic Committee: Basso admits involvement in Spanish doping scandal
By ARIEL DAVID, Associated Press Writer
May 7, 2007
AP - May 2, 9:35 am EDT
ROME (AP) — Giro d’Italia champion Ivan Basso admitted involvement in the Spanish doping scandal and is cooperating with sports authorities.

Basso asked to talk to the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) anti-doping prosecutor, and during their meeting he "widely acknowledged his responsibilities" in connection with Operation Puerto and offered "full cooperation," CONI said.

The Italian cyclist’s lawyer, Massimo Martelli, said his client spoke about "methods with which this activity was carried out."

Basso’s name had turned up on a list of cyclists who allegedly had contact with a Spanish doctor accused of running a blood-doping clinic in Madrid.

You know what I don’t understand?

Whenever you ask if a celebrity or musician is gay, people automatically say "WHAT DOES IT MATTER?" or "OMG WHO CAREZ!"

What’s wrong with asking, anyway?
I hate it when people want to know an answer about their favorite celebrity, and people make smart-ass remarks.

Nobody said they were going to stop watching Tim Curry movies if he was gay, and nobody said they’d start liking Lance Armstrong if he wasn’t straight.

It’s just natural human curiosity. Agree or disagree?

What channel is NBC’s Universal Sports on directv?

I want to watch the Giro d’Italia but i don’t know what channel on Directv. Please hurry the race starts 5/8/09!!!

How does Le Tour de France work?

Can someone explain to me how the tour de france works. I’ve been watching. Some of the guys don’t even try they cross the finish line going slow. How do they keep score. How come lance Armstrong hasn’t won a stage or push to win one

What is this anime called?

Okay, so here’s the deal I watched this one anime before and I forgot what it was called…I can discribe it, from what I remember that is. It’s about this on robot who doesn’t have any memory and he does fight and can transform from human to robot. The main girl hates robot because her Dad made one(some) and, if I remember correctly, is killed by one. But she knows who this guy is…kind of. She says his robot name(I think it’s Giro, Chiro, Gero, somethin’ like that) and he kinda remembers some things and he goes full robot, even in looks. At first she HATES him and doesn’t want nothing to do with him but they go on an adventure and later on she actually falls in-love with him(>:P). It’s not half bad, from what I remember. It’s been a while since I seen it…lets see…maybe 4-5 years maybe longer. When I seen it it was on adultswim so yeah…If anyone can help me I’ll appreciate it very much! I can’t remember this animes name to save my life! Help?

Standards in competitive cycling in America?

What’s the standard of competitive cycling like in the U.S. in comparison to cycling in Europe? I already know that cycling’s more popular in Europe. Tour de France, Giro d’Italia etc, while America has little well known races.
What’s the standard like for 10 mile (16km) time trials or 60 mile (100km) road races where you live?

"It’s sick. She sings a song in two hours and kills it. You’re just, like, ‘holy s—.’ She has powerful lungs. She’s like the Lance Armstrong of vocal chords.& duuuuh

please read! URGENT - DUDLEY EARTHQUAKE APPEAL?

URGENT - DUDLEY EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

At 00:54 on Monday 23 September an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Dudley, UK, causing untold disruption and distress - many were woken well before their Giro arrived.

Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged.

Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed.

Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Dudley.

One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said:

"It was such a shock, little Chantal-Leanne came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning."
Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal.

The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area, to help the stricken masses.
