Tuesday Afternoon Storck/Wrestling Rant


It almost slipped the Blog's mind this week, but in the nick of time it remembered that the Storck van (aka Mystery Machine) is sporting a fresh new look for its 2009 Tour, this year titled "S'Tourk 2009: The Year We Make Contact". As usual, Andy will be playing Roy Scheider to Brittany's John Lithgow as they travel the nation spreading the gospel of Storck and overpriced jeans. In addition to some new Thule roof racks to tote Andy's hair and body care products, the van is also sporting the Vanderkitten logo. Looks like their team will be astride Absolutists as they throw down the racing gauntlet. To put it bluntly, you're going down Colavita/Sutter Home, like Lex Luger after he tangled with a resplendent Ric Flair at Starcade 1988. Have we not learned anything from Lex Luger's hubris, his audacity as he dared to fly within the superheated wrestling corona that is Ric Flair? With The Nature Boy on the verge of defeat and wobbly from a Gorilla Press Slam, the modern day Icarus attempted a Torture Rack, pushing his body (specifically his knees) to the limit, buckling under the weight and allowing Flair to pin him. Zounds! But it is within this digression into wrestling lore that the Blog's underlying point is contained: Vanderkitten shall not only win the women's series but dominate with such Nature Boy-osity that UCI will give them a pro license thingy to race in the 2010 Vuelta and Giro. Take that Michael Ball!


The Vanderkitten logo! It is the spitting image of the Blog's cat Mimi. Where are our royalties?
Joshie's patience is tested. The anger is palpable!Andy laughs at Joshie's struggles. Then Joshie stuck the drill in Andy's head...

The "Going Down Like.." Lex Luthor Ric Flair Starcade reference was about the best one I have heard this year. It was heartwarming to read. It is only trumped by my younger brother's comment when he told me I was going down like a fatman's breakfast.
