[QUOTE=JThunder]  
One of them results in visible disfigurement. The other, by and large, does not.  
[/QUOTE]

Testicular cancer quite often spreads to the peritoneal lymph nodes requiring remarkably awful surgery to remove them. You should see my buddy’s sternum to groin scar.

No.

Off to the dictionary.  
No. Two are enough trouble. Besides, I’d have to walk at an angle.  
What’s that got to do with the truck Nuts site?

Nothing, it had to do with your definition of funny and three nuts.

Yeah, that definition applied to the Truck Nuts. Odd.  
It’s not Armstrong’s nuts I have a problem with, it’s humor at another’s expense in general.

I’m not particularly good at finding humor in anyone having cancer, but I’ve got to say that **Tenebras** did a bang up job. 😃

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn]  
I had no idea he was thought of as a “catch”- I always thought he was sort of funny looking, in a general way.  
[/QUOTE]

He reminds me of the Greatest American Hero guy. (To clarify, I saw a picture of him once with blond curly hair and that’s the image etched into my mind).

Well, no.

From “Ewwww” to “One Testicle=funny, disfigurement of boobies= unfunny.” I love this place.

Kudo’s and Reese’s peanuts to you, sir.

You nailed it like a line drive to the groin.

I’ve always felt that while LA was a stellar athlete ( doping debate aside he doped and didn’t ever never get caught. I don’t know how, but everyone else around him was doping and did get burned and he outpaced them. But let’s not go there, shall we?) he is a bit of a man-whore with his women. Using them (as they probably use him) to elevate his social standing or keep his name in the papers.  
Personally, either of the Olson twins scare me. They look like 70 year old Jewish Ladies with the big glasses and old lady clothes.  
I loved him playing himself in **Dodgeball**. That is all.

His “It’s not About the Bike” was, for me, a pretty interesting read. I really had no idea how _hard_ it is to do what he does. Forget surviving cancer and all that, pushing oneself the way he had to to win is amazing. The same is true of all extreme athletes.  
But I still don’t get it why those guys climb moumtains. And often die.

I _know_ why they die, I don’t know why they climb. Please don’t give me that “because it’s there” drivel. (drivel should have two "v"s)
