Ok, Ok, next time they show cycling, I promise to watch the whole
thing!  Even Dick Enberg's Maudlin Moronic Moments!  Even the commercials
for The Official Beer of The 1992 Summer Olympics and The Official Insurance
Company of The 1992 Summer Olympics and The Official Snack Food of The
1992 Summer Olympics.  Even the five-minute hype^H^H^H^Hadvertisement
for the Olympic TripleCast, er, the Official TripleCast of the 1992
Summer Olympics.  

Sorry, I haven't been watching the Olympics, I've been too busy riding
bike.
