Truly, that is some CUTE... in an I-can-kick-yer-ass kinda way.

I can't figure it out. Is it a guy with a walking stick or a guy peeing? ;-) I like the pinkness of the whole thing.

misty, my mom said the exact same thing. Is he peeing? I don't get it.

Bon - I know, it's not puppies and kittens. Or duckies - now that would be cute!

I think if I ever saw Team Once on the road, I would probably not think "cute" as they mowed me down. Or maybe I would - some of those guys are pretty cute...Hey, they're secure enough in their manhood to wear pink, right?

Sassy. The cane is a nice touch.

How's your arm?

Another thought. Maybe it's of a man who is, um, "gifted". If you know what i mean.

With Manolo Saiz getting his license back after the Puerto debacle, he must have resurected his old ONCE squad. Congratulations on being his first signing...Now off to the wind tunnel with you!!!! Venga!Venga!Venga!Venga!.....

ONCE - Spanish for "eleven" I think, is the official foundation for the blind in Spain. They're also the people who run the lottery in Spain. They sponsor a very good cycling team - contenders in the Tour de France.

And they wear pink, or yellow, depending on where they're riding.

I know, I know. It's a little obscure (I'm like that). But - a guy with a walking stick, on a cycling jersey...

It totally cracks me up.

ONCE USED to be a cycling team...Two years ago they became Liberty Seguros Wurth. Last Tour, the entire team with the exception of Vinokourov and Kaschenkin was implicated in the Operacion Puerto doping scandal and were excluded from the race. The team disbanded shortly after, and Alex Vinokourov along with a Group of Kazakh businessmen took the team's Pro Tour license from the ONCE/Liberty long time director Manolo Saiz. They race the rest of season under the team name Astana Wurth, and even won the Vuelta de Espana. Two weeks ago Manolo Saiz won a legal case, getting his license back from the Astana team.
