    Editor’s Note! TdF update: The Manx Rumpy has now won 4 (four!) stages! It’s working!

  • McPaul:

    I listened to this on my iPod at the gym this morning and laughed out loud several times. I hope the chubby lady doing tricep extensions didn’t think i was laughing at her.

    Be they human, cat or rumpy, aren’t the inhabitants of the Isle of Mann simply described as ‘Manx’? Calling Mr. Cavendish ‘Manxish’ is like calling Werner Herzog ‘Germanese.’

    SPeaking of which, once I heard a cop refer to someone waiting at my train stop as “that Pakistanian guy.”

  • Thanks for the correction, McPaul.

  • Alex E, this is the best comment we’ve ever gotten.
