Sports Technology?

Posted by michael on from the velociped dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the 90th Tour de France starting today, it is fun to marvel at the improvement of road bike technology over the years. Like others, I have traded up from heavy steel to aluminum, and now carbon fiber, ending up with a bike far better than its rider. How have advances in sports technology enhanced your own performance and enjoyment of sport?"

    It's how Michael is able to post continuously without sleeping.

    Hi, Billy Maze here, for CrackMasters!
    Ever want to stay away and troll for hours on end?
    Ever think the slashdot editors were a little sub-human with their persistant news posts? Now you too can be an asshole like one of the Trolls and Editors! CrackMasters will keep you awake for upto two fortnights! Let's goto CrackMasters' top customer, Michael, and ask how he does it. Michael?

    Michael: Hello Biwwy. I've posted continously without sleeping, all thanks to CrackMasters.
    BMaze: Yes, that's what I've been telling all your troll moderators in the audience. We want to know how well CrackMasters has improved your lifestyle. Care to comment?
    Michael: Yeah, Biwwy. I've always had this malevolent attraction to CmdrTaco, but he was never quite receptive. So, I used CrackMasters' product for about 1 month, went to the FBI and created an artificial entity named "Kate Fent", and immediatly CmdrTaco was allured by my gay-appeal in a matter of days. CmdrTaco thinks Kate Fent isn't me, but I'll be the one to confess what happens in the beadroom.
    BMaze: That sound great. Have you ever solicited our product to anyone and helped sell this great American name: CrackMasters?
    Michael: Yep. You see, CmdrTaco and me (Kate Fent) can't have children. So, we goto the orphanage to buy one. We can never make out a decision on which livestock^H^H^H^H^H^H^H little boy we want to take home. I don't bring candy much, so the orphans started asking about the kittle bag of CrackMasters I carried around. CrackMasters was an instant hit with the kids. They love the taste and I've since donated five Pentium 200 computers to the orphanage with Linux and Quake3 insalled. Those kids are up all night fragging and trading porn. They will remember the name, CrackMasters, come 20 years. I'm sure they'll pass on such a quality name to their grandkids.
    BMaze: That sounds terrific! Have you tried starting a slashdot poll, pitting ol' caffeine to CrackMasters?
    Michael: I'm working on CowboyNeal, but he isn't receptive to my sexual advances on him. It'll take a big boost, perhaps CrackMasters plus, to allure CowboyNeal's urges to me and have him submit to my dairy-wand.
    BMaze: I thought you'ld never ask! CrackMasters Plus is the new product that not even the most fat and ugliest of mother fucking geeks can resist. Slip some CrackMasters Plus in their drinks and voila! Instant a'whorin' crack whore! This is Billy Maze, for CrackMasters!
