I was watching the end of Stage 1 of the Tour de France, and just 8 km from the end, there was a massive pileup which took about 75% of the riders out of the huge pack just behind the leaders. The pack included Contador and Andy Schrek, so they ended up nearly 2 minutes behind the stage winner, which could take them out of contention after only one stage. Some idiot of an observer was standing too far out in the road and got clipped by a rider, who swerved into the heart of the pack to avoid the rest of the fans.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Oh, that was a good one.

Yeah, that third one was lovely. Must have been from 15 yards out.

Nice passing leading up to it, too.

Columbia got lucky just now, though that defender did a heckuva job with position.

One of the things I like is how the women are much less into the theatrics on the field. No rolling around and clutching themselves, the way the men do.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I would have put "Evil dead, you're in my seat." Although, actually, I think I just decided he isn't somebody I know at all. Because he isn't. That person I talked to didn't exist.

Yeah, 'Suela, I forget how much of a thing diving is in between actually seeing it. Really hate that stuff.
Yellow card looked like a good call to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to decide if I'm going to ingratiate myself with a stranger. Should I mail him stuff? I don't know anything about him, really, except he's a decent guy that likes knives. I'm not going to mail him knives.
But I could mail him baked stuff. Every week or stuff I could send him cookies or muffins or something. And I'd just be that strange woman with the stuff.
