And here’s an explanation of why that is! Can you believe a song that tells you what Google Plus is and isn’t!

Thanx for the reference Guy Kawasaki!

How do they get these images I wonder! But I enjoy looking at them.

First a view outside the Paulaner tent as I wobbled out to find a taxi!

Beer celebrations on Aug 6. The German Oompah band had them singing, dancing, standing and baring their torsoes!

I snapped these images with my iPhone 4 and downloaded to my laptop!

I approve of some forms of nudity, even when I am the nude

This candid view was clicked several years ago. I was hot-tubbing with my bud, Les Yamada, at his place on Vancouver Island, south of Nanaimo!

 

I posted this view elsewhere and some of my prudish friends objected that it revealed too much info!

Depicting the domains of idiot ideologies

This Venn Diagram is wonderful. It clearly categorizes the idiot ideologies of the right wing nutters:

 

This was snipped from Wikipedia, which I consider a great source!

I guess Gov Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann fit well in the middle of this diagram!

Marc Cavendish’s 5th and best stage and green jersey win

He’s not the most complete bike racer but he is now the best Tour de France sprinter with the green jersey. Marc Cavendish fulfilled his dearest Tour de France goal this year and here is what his winning form looked like at the end of the 2011 Tour in Paris:

Here is what he had to say according to The armchair sports fan:

I finally got it, but it didn’t come easy. I really had to fight for it all the way to the last finish line and I’m very tired, but it was worth all that effort.

I had eight fantastic team-mates around me all the way, they kept working with me, I was close to getting it for the last two years and now it’s finally here.

I’m so happy, it’s incredible. It’s a great way to finish the Tour and a super, super emotional day.

Alberto C won the Giro d’Italia but the Tour de France hasn’t gone his way in 2011

His frustration with the Tour this year sort of burst out in some individual aggression on a Tour fan who just got too close to Alberto in his penultimate fight to gain the yellow jersey and top GC standing.

 

These kinds of Tour fans behave clownishly and don’t give much room to the competitors, especially on the HC climbs, like the Alpe d’Huez. More power to Alberto here since he seems to have acted in a normal human, like “Get out of the way you idiot!”

I saw this pic and snipped it since I could relate to it right away. This view from the “top” is too much for me even in a pic. You see I am acrophobic, I suffer from an instant fear of heights!
