Continued difficulties with #Retweet Beta… The latest Twitter retweet mishap destroyed half of Les Spectacle’s Fabrege´egg collection. The staff is calling all over europe to get them replaced before he comes back from his consulting gig with the Olympic committee. They need a regulations expert to help suss out the Omnium rules…

Inside look at the “Le Excellence in Le Coverage - Tour de Froth” award:

 

The 2009 recipient for “Le Excellence in Le Coverage - Tour de Froth” will receive an exclusive scoop on this year’s TDF winner and a complete a media awards package. The coveted media awards package includes the following items:

1.) Official Tour de Froth - Le Swag. 

2.) A sealed envelope containing the name of the 2009 Tour de Froth winner, with a painfully complex explanation of how this rider avoided disqualification.

3.) A 24k solid gold ingot weighing 18 kilograms. This is to be cut into chucks and distributed amongst the winning media outlet’s staff. 

4.) Nun Chucks, the traditional weapon of the Okinawan kobudō.

(In past years there have been security issues with the shipment of gold bullion and nun chucks, so we hope these items aren’t stripped out of the package with the five five minutes of shipping, just like last year. Due to budget cuts we are not able to insure or replace missing package contents.)

Stay tuned…

Nobel? Hah. “Le Excellence in Le Coverage - Tour de Froth.”

Each year for the past fifty years one media organization from around the globe is awarded the prestigious ”Le Excellence in Le Coverage - Tour de Froth.” 

The enormous staff here at Tour de Froth inc.ltd.com.lsd, agonizes in making a choice from among all of the outstanding media organizations that covered Le Greatest Spectacle in Racing™. We review literally billions and billions of nominee ballots sent to our headquarters here in sunny Geneva Switzerland. 

This year it came down to one issue: genius. We knew we needed to choose the media outlet with the highest number of geniuses on staff. Only a media organization of this caliber could understand and appreciate the intricacies of our complex rules set and thus give the most accurate and incisive minute by minute  reporting.

In the next week we will be announcing the winner of this prestigious and tall award.

Les Spectacle,

President

Legal Ruling: SAG van driver did not win Tour de Froth!

The excitement and festivities of the Tour de Froth have quieted for another year. We’ve put behind us the the bitter acrimony, lawsuits, counter suits, and fist fights that traditionally follow the race.

There were some erroneous reports that one of the dozens of SAG wagon operators on the tour was awarded the Amber Jersey for 2009; I can assure you that this is patently false. The minor glitch in the rules which led to this flawed and temporary report has been cleared up.

The actual winner of the 2009 Tour de Froth has been determined and a press release will be issued shortly…
