"In men, a sheath in the perineum, called Alcock's canal, contains an artery and a nerve that supply the penis with blood and sensation. The canal runs along the side of a bone, Dr. Goldstein said, and when a cyclist sits hard on a narrow saddle, the artery and the nerve are compressed."
Wait, how does bicycle riding affect a woman's fertility or whatever? Why are women supposed to get a noseless seat?
Poor Cheryl Crow.
She was already behind the eight ball, IYKWIM.
In ashtanga yoga, holding in the perineum is one of the locks you're supposed to practice. It's a bit like kugel exercises. I wonder if that helps to reverse the problem.
That would be really funny if Lance painted his last ball like an 8-ball.
Is all Dutch people impotent, then?

voice from the television: "Lift the noodle package. And lift! And lift! And lift! Now beat those eggs! And whisk! And whisk! And whisk!

byciclist: Come to me, my darling. My kugel is the only thing that's soft around here.
ok, kegel already.
But combining exercise with a fruit dessert is always good!
My local bike shop had a hilarious poster for the noseless seats: Bill Clinton's head photoshopped on a track racer's body, giving a big thumbs-up. Tag line: finally, a seat that won't cause impotence.
My urologist thought this was hilarious, by the way.
Is 8 supposed to sound like a note perfect Ali G impression, or is it serendipity?
Speaking of noodles and potatoes, did anyone see this article on kugel tastes in Brooklyn (I almost wrote Brookline)?
"Clearly the spiritual high point of the meal is the offering of the kugel," Professor Nadler said. At that moment the rabbi has the power to bestow health and food, and even to help couples conceive.
I mocked, but now I abashedly realize BG spoke more truth than I knew.
I'm just wondering what are "rough cycling sports". Given the plural, we're not just talking about mountain biking. So what? Jousting? Bicycle rugby?
Cyclo-cross. It's the bastard child of cycling and mud wrestling.
