So, Smithers is out of town and is looking for a "guest blogger" for a week or so until he returns. Thus far, according to his comment log, Tuffy is tied with Mrs. Smithers as the people's choice to replace him. Interesting.

But Smithers wants nominees to post an "audition post" on their blog and then e-mail him the link.

Here's the bottomline: Tuffy would have no problem filling in for Smithers, but there's no way in hell that I'm sending him a link to an audition post. Tuffy doesn't need no audition. Take him or leave him.

Here's a Smithers-style nugget for you to munch on, though:
"Christian Vande Velde of CSC reveals how big of an impression Discovery Channel's highest GC rider, Yaroslav Popovych, has made on his rivals."


PS: In an effort to beat this global warmi...err...heat, Tuffy's decided to train at night. I'm not shitting you. So, if you see someone getting their training rides in from 11pm-2am wearing lycra and sporting lights on their racing bike, good chance it's me. See, 'cuz at night, it's all shaded.
