With comedic stylings akin to a cross between Ernestine the switchboard
operator(Laugh-in) and Florence Jean 'Flo' Castleberry ("Alice"), I'm
picturing:

A team of M.I.T. programmers between projects?

The Positronic Brain of the Imperious Leader?
_Imperious Leader_: There can be no survivors. So long as one sane r.b.m
member remains alive, the Alliance is threatened.

Jonathan Winters giving us sport?

I for one do not want to see the fattest, slowest, and 81 year oldest

nightmares. That reminds me of getting stuck behind the 400 pound woman

to shop much more.
Sorry, had to mention that, but some people just should not wear shorts.

As we mature we tend to be less focused on looks. Being judgemental and
critical of people's looks is rather cruel, especially when they are wearing
and using equipment appropriate and they find comfortable to the activity in
which they are involved.

As I've learned from Maggie....

What if the judgemental person found out the "fattest, slowest, and 81 year
oldest rider" was Doris Kopsky and she smoked them?

Husband & son shave their legs.

Reason 1: when racing, post race a massage is great for getting the excess
lactic acid out of the muscles. Massage oil is much easier to apply to a
hair-free leg. I know, I'm "team masseuse" ;-)

Reason 2: If you come off, and skin abrades against tarmac, it's much easier
to clean the wound of grit & dirt if the leg is hair-free. It also heals
easier with less chance of going septic through hair trapping dirt in the
wound.

OTOH: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shaving.html

I'll have to say that Reason #2 is sorta true. Not in the infection sense,
because I doubt being shaved helps. But when it was healing from
the last time I lost a bit of skin, I *really* wished I had had my legs
shaved when I had the spill. My hairs being pulled out when scabs came off
and whenever I changed bandages was very irritating. Especially since the
area was raw from the injury.

And Reason #1 is true also IMHO from the receiving end.
