This & That Thursday

Not that there's anything wrong with that: In the August issue of Oprah's self-titled O magazine, she makes clear that she and bff Gayle King are just that: Friends and nothing more. The issue is about friendship and the talk show queen felt the need to reiterate to everyone out there that the two can be close friends "without being sexual." I guess that means they don't watch The L Word.

One for the road (or just a shortcut): Tour de France winner, Floyd Landis, must have been in more than a little pain during the three week race: He has a bum hip. That didn't stop him during one leg of the race from whetting his whistle. In one day he went from first to 11th place because he had a "bonk." That's slang for losing energy. So what did he do? He stopped into ye pub and had a beer. The next day he got right back into the race and moved back up to third (did he have a stout at that pub?) and then finally winning the race. Landis injured his hip during training in 2003. What's next for the winner of the 93rd Tour de France? Having hip surgery, of course.

peace,

paul
