Check out this lovely message from Ronn-O-Matic down at our favorite bikin' / runnin' / ski'in' store:

"George: a runner came in today to get some nutritional stuff. He runs indoors  on a treadmill now because of a dislocated shoulder. Could you please add rohan@iastate.edu  to the runner list?  His name is Rohan Fernando and he teaches in animal science--maybe he can hook Team Vardo up with a dead cow or horse for a barbeque."  Ronn Ritz - Skunk River Cycles

Hey, Vardo's – It's time once again to head to Story City for some fine pancakes, cooked up by our favorite transvestite John "Joy" Moran, the mayor of Northeast Story City.  (See entry form attached.)    Ever had pancakes served by a bearded "lady"?  Man, it's gonna be like a circus sideshow . . .
