“…which is where he was when he said he wasn’t because he was somewhere else training.”

Brilliant remark

WTF is skinny?

This is pretty close,

Aaah The Chicken. That is not a good look @sthilzy

I’m suprised all those melenomas haven’t killed him yet (unless they’re supernumeray nipples).

Do chickens have nipples? Can you milk a chicken? I only learned about milking cats from ” Meet the Fockers.”

@RedRanger think you’ll find if you look very closely that MM’s 2nd eye is running parallel with the line of the photo on the very front of his face toward the back of the photo (on what would be MM’s left).

It was so exciting to think that MM only had one eye back then…

The worst part is, there’s more of them. A quick image search for ‘Michelin Man’ yields a dozen or so lumpy effigies of fear itself.

Though maybe they could replace the models on the podium, as seems to have happened here.

Hopefully I can work it off during the spring.

@the Engine

Still sticking with the PoW diet here – grim.

On the upside Frank has stopped baiting me about my size in recent photographs.

If you live in the PNW please keep feeding him so that I can crush his soul on the pave in April.

Whoa! This is gonna be something to watch!

I only just met him at the Heck of the North, but it appears that he will soon be all engine and no cargo.

from Wikipedia: Première affiche représentant Bibendum par O’Galop 1898 (First appearance of bibendum man) Note the nail and glass in his drinking glass, he laughs at it while his fellow drinkers are left out of air. Always liked the image. Nunc est bibendum e.g. let’s have a drink (of that Belgian recvery drink). Cheers!

Damn, posters were just so cool back then, weren’t they? I mean, even movie posters suck ass these days.

There’s also this terror…

He appears to be condemning the man to a life of rolling the boy in the inner tube for eternity.

Re: seasonal bloat…I was on my rollers for the first time this season. They’ll burn calories, but being less enjoyable than being outside, I’ll use them less. Alcohol consumption spikes for me this time of year, too. I can’t ride, don’t ski, what else am I supposed to do?

Thanks for posting! If the one with the Prophet wasn’t weird enough, imagine that scary bastard showing up on a podium these days . . .

If you can’t face that and feel like a sissy-boy, get on the turbo trainer. 2 hours of that will numb your mind so much that you’ll dream of being out in the real world.

There is no excuse for getting fat, accept you’ve chosen to do it and sit there stuffing your drooling gob with shit.

Think on of the coolest Bibs is the running one seen on the front mudguards of scary 90’s 500 gp bikes(usually seen launching riders into the stratosphere);

As for the winter bulge it hasn’t affected me yet despite the decline in mileage over the last couple of weeks;I’m shure christmas will change that.

All that is holy, The Prophet please bless me as a sinner. I had this image on a jersey at one time. Needless to say, I was asked where I got my jersey and was my ego so large I needed to have myself on the front…..

Winter bloat is real. I just like to think that it’s letting me gain muscle and increase the stored potential energy in my stylish pot.

Re: The Michelin Man, that guy is why I ride Contis.

Winter weight is a huge pain. This year, this year I won’t let it happen. Tough when the mother-in-law lives 2.5 hours away, loves cooking for you, and her cuisine is Memphis and eastern NC based. Bring on the butter.

And if Frank’s the size of MM over the winter, then I have a shot of winning the tour next year FFS.

Along comes a nice case of bronchitis, and I’m off the bike for two weeks while consuming copious quantities of vino and comfort food to fend off the crud, and before I know it it’s Christmas and I’m 10 pounds heavier.  Fuck the rain and cold, I’m staying in where it’s warm.  Pathetic.

By February 1, I’ll get it all turned around and be on the Path of Righteousness, but December and January are shot out of a cannon.

Bibelobis was blazing a fatty while pulling elephant trunk skids on his fixie about a century before it was uncool. Serious bike handling skills considering his avoirdupois:

Ha!  Excellent!

A month off for meditation over Xmas and New Years is next.

So February will truly be the cruelest month in terms of getting back to fighting form for 2015.

Prophet looks ready to annihilate Mr. Stay-puft there.

Apparently Bibendum’s name comes from the Latin phrase, nunc nest bibendum, meaning “now it is time to drink.”  Here, here. Source: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibendum
