Non-Doping Cyclists Finish Tour De France
August 30, 2007 | Onion SportsPARIS—A small but enthusiastic crowd of several dozen was on hand at the Tour de France’s finish line on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées Tuesday to applaud the efforts of the 28 cyclists who completed the grueling 20-stage, 2,208.3-mile race without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs.

“What day is it, anyway?” asked Kvistik, his eyes rolling wildly in his head. “I can no longer tell.”
…Kvistik remains in critical condition at the Hôpital Neuilly-sur-Seine, where he was placed in a medically induced coma to aid his recovery from exhaustion, malnutrition, and loss of bone density. Attending physicians say he is not expected to return to cycling.

Is ‘The Onion’ ever funny?
yes, “The Onion” is quite often funny. unless, of course, you lack the mental capacity to comprehend and appreciate the humor within. probably not in SC though. I understand your predicament. best of luck with that.

They were perhaps the only people to successfully figure out how to handle the events of 9-11 in a comedic way. Their headline the next day?:
“HOLY FUCKING SHIT!”
Thanks Bruce! Nothing quite like an insult from another DC reader. Kind of like being called a retard by another retard…
