Showdown 2010
It time once again for me to resurrect my blog for this years Tour de France. The competition will be fierce bot in France and in the fantasy competition between myself and my mother. This year we placed a little wager on whose team will net them overall victory. If I win, I get $50.00 to put towards a new pair of Oakley sunglasses. If Mom wins, I'm going to be cleaning her carpets.
Also new this year, I've allowed entries from my brother and sister. In the spirit of how I taught them to play Monopoly, I personally hand selected their teams for them and have added a few custom rules to be revealed later.
Here are the rules:
1. Each team consists of nine riders.
2. Points are awarded daily based on the top ten finishers. 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9 points, 3rd gets 8 points, you get the picture.
3. There are additional bonuses for each of the jerseys in the race. 10 points for the yellow, green and polka-dot jerseys and 5 points for the white jersey. These points will be awarded daily based on who has what jersey at the time.
4. If a rider abandons or crashes out you get to keep the points they earned up to the point the left the race.
5. If a rider gets caught cheating, all points earned from that rider are forfeited.
6. Custom "Ryan Monopoly rules" are allowed to ensure that Kevin and Tracy do not beat me. The custom rules do not apply to Mom, because even I am not that stupid.
Here are the teams:
The Contenders
Mom
1. Andy Schleck
2. Alberto Contador
3. Bradley Wiggins
4. Levi Leipheimer
5. Fabian Cancellara
6. Linus Gerdemann
7. Frank Schleck

Now before Tracy starts whining about how mean I am, let me point out that Tracy has a lot of people that I have put on my teams in the past. They are all just past their prime now.
Post will be up daily during the Tour so everyone can see how I trounce the rest of my family. Let the race begin.

In Honor of Halloween
I thought long in hard as to what I should post for my Halloween tribute this year. Maybe something from the Shining, or the Exorcist? In the end I decided to post something from the best Halloween movie of all time:

Getting Ready For Halloween
I've been away for a while licking my wounds after Mom trounced me in the Fantasy Tour. I'll have to rethink my team for next year. Maybe I can get away with putting the entire Radio Shack squad on my fantasy team . . .
Anyway, Halloween is rapidly approaching. While I don't usually dress up, I do enjoy this time of year and always look forward to it. With a kid like Joseph around you never know what you are going to get for costume ideas. I was also thinking that this year in addition to handing out candy to the trick or treaters, I would also hand out copies of my resume to their parents. You never know who might be hiring.
Last year in honor of Halloween, I posted clips from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and publicly admitted to attending multiple midnight showings of the movie. This year, I'm not sure what to post on Halloween but don't worry it will be good. In the meantime, I want to share the funniest Nike commercial I've ever seen. It was shown during the 2000 Olympics and was pulled by NBC because it either a) scared too many little kids watching the Olympics with their families, or b) it promoted violence against women. Either way, I still think it is pretty funny.
