Top Cutlines:

  • 1. David, obviously in Italy too long: “What? You missed that Turin? You can say Vatican. What a bunch of Bologna. Next time you want to Rome around here, just ask me Venice the best time to ride. Coach is gonna give you a Pisa his mind and probably make Udine alone tonight. I'll Siena while” -- JohnA.
  • 2. Christian, I think you misheard me. I said “Let's compete in the Tour de France”, not “Let's hit the street and breakdance” -- OrangeTV.
  • 3. Do we have to put your training wheels back on? -- Charlie.
