i sat down to read something while i ate breakfast and spent another half hour (now it’s going to be 40 minutes) finishing the article (JUST the article): lance armstrong playpoy interview via tdfblog

They said, “We’ll sell them for a dollar and donate the proceeds to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.” I thought they were crazy. When they said Nike would make 5 million of them, I’m thinking, Right, sure. But they did, and they made a million-dollar donation, too……

PLAYBOY: Worse than getting quacked is getting flicked. ARMSTRONG:: That’s when it’s intentional. Direct from the German flicken. It means you got fucked.

PLAYBOY: You had the testicle cut out before donating the sperm? ARMSTRONG:: Two days before. Painful? Dude, it was terrible. But I had to do it if I was ever going to have kids.

PLAYBOY: How did you get in the mood to… donate? ARMSTRONG:: No choice. I didn’t have a wife yet or anybody to have kids with. Sure, it was awful, but now I have three healthy little miracle children. I’m glad I limped down to that lab in San Antonio.

PLAYBOY: They give a guy some ammo for that. Magazines. ARMSTRONG:: I don’t think it was PLAYBOY. For that kind of ammo PLAYBOY is sort of a slingshot. You can read it. That’s why we’re talking. But there are some shoulder rockets in that field – if PLAYBOY were one of those weapons of mass destruction, I wouldn’t be doing this interview.
