    no link yet, but apparently in a random search of his hotel room, french authorities found three banned substances:

    -toothpaste
    -deodorant
    -soap

    The French officials also found several other items which they had
    never seen before including a testicle and a backbone...

    developing...

    I've only received this twelve times in my email account over the last five days.

    Besides, France wouldn't dare strip Lance of his title....he's dating Sheryl Crow, and she supports John Kerry, for chrissakes!:D

    If Armstrong were to be stripped of the tour title, the image of cycling would be tarnished immensely...think about lost sponsor money, etc. etc....the cycling authorities would think twice now before taking any action against him, evidence or not.

    P.S.: I do realize it was a joke...

    There's two hours of it on tonight... a one hour doc on Texas HS girls taking an oath of virginity and another one hour doc on the Texas Judicial system. Might tune it in, but only if there is nothing on ESPN Classic.

    Good lord, did this need to go in the D&D? Furthermore, did it even deserve a thread? Couldn't you just have put the crux of it in your sig or something?

    I think any time you put demeaning, untrue, unfunny 'joke' stereotypes into a thread there is a chance someone would debate it.

    Don't you get it? hahaha The french aren't clean, hahaha. What a good joke.:rolleyes:

    I think that's only the second time I've used rolleyes on this board.

    My dad told me this joke a few days ago. I didn't laugh just like I never laugh at any of his jokes.

    Virginity oaths and Texecutions? Damn, I wish I got TRIO.

    I did see a documentary recently about some sick cultist freaks who run a Hell House around Halloween time. That was pretty good.

    If you describe it as Texas-bashing, by the way, then does that demonstrate that you maintain an awareness that the type of behavior described in these works is indeed embarrassing and shameful, or at the very least irregular?

    just because the french went against bush on the whole iraq war thing doesn't mean french jokes are no longer funny. they will always be.

    To some they are. To some they aren't. To some they weren't really funny ever.
