| Cyclist scraps around the world plans [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Since it's a press release, I'll reproduce the whole thing below: Cyclist Scraps Around the World Plans Plans for a cyclist to recreate Phileas Fogg's adventure to circumnavigate the globe have been scrapped. Plans for a cyclist to recreate Phileas Fogg's adventure to circumnavigate the globe have been scrapped. Clayton Paris, speaking on behalf of Vinny Badabing, has stated that, "Mr. Badabing has ended his attempt to travel around the world on bicycle. He will take a break from his training and perhaps make the attempt again later this year." Vinny Badabing, variety entertainer and writer, was to have left Bayonne, NJ on June 13th and traveled through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia before eventually returning to New Jersey. "A couple of things held me up," Mr. Badabing explained. "The first thing is that I didn't have no passport. The second thing is that I got this really bad cramp after biking a couple of blocks. But the final straw was the fact that I hit water. I wasn't planning on cycling across the Atlantic." Vinny Badabing is not ranked as a cyclist. He has never won, nor has he ever entered, a cycling competition. "He has guts, that's all. He's not the brightest guy, but at least he tried," Mr. Paris offered. The New Jersey native may be down, but not out--- "I'm applying for a passport and am doing leg exercises to fix the cramps. About the only thing I can't seem to work out is this Atlantic Ocean business. I'd take a boat and just cycle around the deck, but it seems like cheating." Vinny Badabing is no stranger to art of quitting. His attempts last year to dig a hole to China, were likewise scrapped after digging only a few feet. [In case it wasn't clear from the above, Vinny is a professional comedian. See [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for lines like "MY dreams are usually filled with visions of food .... I only had one nightmare in my life. I dreamt that all the mozzarella in the world had been replaced by Kraft American cheese. I still get shudders just thinking about it."] -- --- Mike Kruger Blog: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |
