The recent story about Floyd Landis using drugs to win the Tour de France is the latest big deal in the sports community. So the guy had some extra testosterone in him, who hasn’t at one point?
Landis came by l’avant poste and had this to say,
“I have more testosterone in my blood because i’m twice the man those half-fruity french will ever be.”
And well, everyone just shrugged their shoulders and had to agree.
Personally, i’ve always wanted to see a ‘super-human‘ olympics. The total and complete opposite of the special olympics, where steroid/drug use is not only allowed, but encouraged! and i mean every single drug! Let the pot heads have their race, they won’t get very far, but who cares! It’ll prove a point and be fun to watch!
Imagine:
And in the steroid pole vault - let’s see how high a man can reeeally jump. Let’s put human abilities to the test, and max them out. If Lance Armstrong can circle around France and win 6 times with only one nut and a country musicgirlfriend, imagine what Dwayne Wade can do with 1300mg of roids in him…he’d jump OVER France baby!
Then we could even begin to challenge the other animals! I’d tuur a tiger up in jiu-jitsu if i had some speed or pcp in me. the possibilities are endless.
- a coccaine footrace
- a marijuana eating competition
- steroid weightlifting
- and a heroin “Blaaah-a-thon”
Hi, my name is Barry Bonds and I give this idea two thumbs up!

We’ve changed our “top” here at aop1980 - that little image above was taken by aop1980 in the flesh. Although most of our editors here prefer topless, we’ve got to keep things work safe, but change our tops we will as events happen and people go places. All tops will be from real people…no Photoshop’d top allowed.
A Googleesque idea - tops will remain up until we see fit to change em’. Find out more on the latest top here!

Recent studies have shown that cold mountain air may have ill effects on afros.??Scientists?deduce that?due to?the low temperature and air pressure, the drudging humdrum of everyday mountain life permeates through the air and withers the cuticles of what would otherwise be healthy fabulous afro.? Consider the follow subject -
?
Young Taylor has spent the past 4 years in the rugged ranges of Colorado, studying computer science and hunting wolverines.? Before this man migrated to nowhere nowhere land, he posessed the most magnificent bush on his noggin, that?stood 2 feet high, and could only be rivaled by Moses on a bad hair day.? As you can see, the merciless Colorado air has sucked all the life out of young Taylor’s radiant bush, and has left it limp as a wet farret.
?
?
Here is young Taylor today, back in Washington DC.? The warm climate seems to be doing him well.? The bush is slowly regaining its strength with the warm hickory air of Virginia.? It measures a healthy 4 inches, a big improvement over its pathetic existence in Colorado.? Notice all the “good vibes” emanating from the fro.? Evidence clearly shows that afros react positively to warmer climates, brisket sandwiches, and DC pollution.
?
?
Will further update when more information is collected.

For all aop1980 fans who are planning to move to another country, here are some helpful tips for those unwary newbies…
1.?BRING A CARTON OR TWO OF CIGARETTES - That is, if you smoke.? In London a?full pack of cigs costs 4-5 pounds, roughly?$8-9.? If you buy them in a bar or somewhere in Central London, they will cost even more.? Im sure it is the same in other big cities i.e. Turino (but probably not as bad).
2. BRING NAVIGATION TOOLS - Maps are so incredibly useful when you are in a new place.? They’re not that important if you’re just la la la sightseeing, but they come in quite handy other times?especially if you are running around a city trying to get to a job interview, apartment shopping, or if you get lost.? Also,?I have recently come to appreciate the utility of a compass.? Combined with a map, they are the nuts of Christ.? Sure, you can look at the sun and see what direction your shadow is pointing, but that is so 3000 BC.
3. BRING WHATEVER ID’s AND PERSONAL DOCUMENTS YOU HAVE - Applying for a bank account, credit card, etc.,?is not as simple as in the States, where any?Mexican?can fill out a credit card application?for?the free?beer holder.? Often times institutions will ask you for personal documents such as utility bills, bank statements, job acceptance letters, etc.? For students, your school documentation is usually sufficient to open a checking account.? For non-students, the easiest thing to do is to go to an HSBC and apply for a Passport Account for a very small fee.? In order to open a Passport Account, you will need a bank statement from your bank in the States, a proof of residence in the States (a valid driver’s license will do), and of course, duh, your passport.
4.?BE HAPPY WAITING TABLES OR WORKING AT A BAR - Getting a job at?a bar or restaurant is fairly easy (we have the Polish to thank for that), and they don’t require you to have a social security number, national insurance number, or whatever crazy number they use in that country, and you usually don’t need a bank account.? Getting an office job is far more complicated, and time consuming.? If you are looking for an office job, DON’T rely on your savings to hold you over until you find a good job!? Work in a bar to neutralize expenses until you find the job you want.? Make this your FIRST priority, before going around partying and sleeping with hookers.
5. BE CAREFUL WHAT DRUGS YOU TAKE - in Europe drugs seem to be more potent than in the US, with a lot of designer drugs floating around that are much more accessible than in the States.? I remember in Italy the Armenians would sell you hash mixed with bleach.? I didn’t bump into any crazy drugs in the Philippines, but I’m sure they are there.? Be wary of what you take… they may be named after Saturday morning cartoon characters, but they will FUCK YOU UP!!!? It is recommended to have at least one responsible friend around to take care of you, and if he/she majored in chemistry, even better.
6. KEEP ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS ON YOU - You will never know when you will get lost and stranded somewhere (i.e. getting on the wrong bus, waking up?in a crackhouse with your Doc Martens?missing, etc.).? It’s good to have a contact person, or know an address to tell a cab.? Also, once you get to your new destination, make sure you find out and record all emergency numbers (i.e. police, ambulance, fire, etc.), cause dialing 911 will get you nowhere.? Make sure you know your embassy’s number.? It’s also probably a good idea to let your embassy know you are in the country, so that if anyone reports you missing, Interpol will have your information readily at hand.?
7. KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR FREE MONEY AND TAX BREAKS - Some governments will give a stipend to people who are unemployed, sometimes to foreigners, and if you’re in Europe, most often to any EU citizen.? Look out for tax breaks if you’re working part-time.? In the UK, if you are working two part-time jobs, you will still get the tax breaks (a clever little loop hole?you can use to?stick it back to the Queen!).? A lot of bar/restaurant/hotel jobs also offer free accomodation and free/subsidized meals.? Great way to save a few bucks.
8. MAKE A JOURNAL OF ALL YOUR EXPENSES - Money has a funny way of jumping out of your wallet without you noticing it… they are sneaky lil’ fuckers.? ?Keeping your books in your head DOES NOT WORK!!!? Write down all expenditures and keep all receipts.? From this, you can calculate your average weekly expenses, and know exactly where the money is going.? This way, you can kick yourself in the ass TWICE for buying that pair of shoes you knew you didn’t need.
9. BE PREPARED FOR MAJOR LIFESTYLE CHANGES - Living conditions are a little more archaic in Europe and other countries, so be prepared to live with dinky refridgerators, no dryers, no dishwashers,?no outlets in the bathrooms, toilets that don’t work, no air-conditioners, no?free nights and weekends?on your phone plan, no 24-hour supermarkets, and no free refills at McDonald’s.?
10. BRING?A BIG PADLOCK OR GET A SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX - You will want to store your valuables (i.e. passport, money, documents, laptop, etc.) in a safe place.? If you live in an apartment building that offers a safety deposit box, use it.? Else, get your own, or use a padlock on your closet.? Don’t worry about looking like a paraniod freak to your roomies… better to be a freak than a chump.

Why is that? Excuse me while I go on a bit of a mini-geek rant.
I just realized that the sidebar thingy on the right side of the page shows up at the bottom if you view aop1980.com using Internet Explorer. I don’t use Internet Explorer, so didn’t notice this - plus no one else mentioned it.
hehe…well, turns out that IE does something funky (and non-standard), I might add to websites, messing mine up. But this problem will be fixed in the latest edition of IE, coming out next month, which Microsoft will forcefully add to Windows machines.
So, until then, I’ll keep working on the problem, or perhaps get some help from the fine folks over at vanillamist. Of course the page works beautifully with Safari, or Mozilla
Firefox, both of which are much better options than IE.
Ok, ranting now officially done, it’s late over in my neck of the woods…good rest-of-the-evening to you!

Looking for a job like this guy?
Well, I’ve run across many hommies who have lately, so I thought I’d share a tool one of my co-workers recommended. It’s a website called “LinkedIn,” and it’s an easy way to make connections with people in your field. Job openings are posted by your contacts and their contacts.
http://www.linkedin.com
The service is free, and I know people that it has worked for. Some other benefits:
- It’s a free service
- You don’t have to post your resume, you create a profile and get people you know to “endorse” it
- Job postings are refined for what you are looking for
- …and even if you already have a job you like, LinkedIn is a good way to make business contacts and potential business partners.
- Now just imagine how happy your boss would be if you brought in more business?
LinkedIn is just a tool and probably won’t get you a job on it’s own, but it’ll certainly help in your quest.

it was a good yesterday. enzo and russian mob queen anastasiya stopped by london yesterday for one day on their way to venice. aw.. how sweet of them it was very short encounter, but it was great to see old faces. we met at the big ben, and then just walked around everywhere, doing some light sightseeing while we talked and caught up on things.
around dinner time i took them to have filipino food at a place in soho, but when we got there it was closed. t’was a pity, because the food is so good there, and anastasiya never had filipino food before. so we decided to just eat in a nearby pub. enzo was adamant about eating fish and chips since he was in london. we also decided that if shit does not work out for me here, we will go back to the philippines and start a boyband. i will be perpetually wearing a tanktop and enzo will have an unbuttoned shit or no shirt at all at all times.. haha. it will start out as a reality show about two guys trying to start a boyband, like that mtv movie 2gether. we will recruit two members, and the show’s finale will be our first big concert. the cool thing about the philippines is that shit like this doesn’t have to remain a funny pipedream, you can actually go out and do it. i already started asking around last night about who i can pitch the idea to…
anyways, they left this morning for venice, then to florence, then naples, then sweden. sigh… i am jealous. it was not only until i arrived in london that i realized that i have a severe case of wanderlust…

ok so alllllllllll we wanted to do was go to the friggin’ movies with some frenchies, equadorians, koreans, turks, and americans. lol right, so my cousin’s class wanted to meet up for a movie sunday afternoon in DC. so we got on the metro and it took about 30 minutes to move down 2 stations because of “maintenance” to the tracks. ok so that’s cool. normally, we’re supposed to stay on the blue line and go into DC and switch lines somewhere in there, so we stayed on the train when we got to King St.. ok we realized that a whoooole rack of people were getting off at the King St. station and firstly we were like “wtf” but seeing that we have delayed reaction or something, we stayed on the train…. only to find out it was going back towards franconia…. pain in the arse.
so we got off at van dorn…. and waited about 30 minutes for the train going to King St…. so far we’re still in VA and it’s been about an hour… so we get to King St…. and we have to wait for the other damn train for like 20 minutes. this lady kept checking the board every 30 seconds.. it’d say, “10 minutes” and she’d check it again 10 seconds later thinking it changed. it’s times like these that Turkish comes in handy cause burcu and i were making fun of her the whole damn time.
and to add to the excitement, burcu and i ate at california pizza kitchen and in the booth behind us were 2 very um… how you say… flamboyant men. extremely. i have no problem with gay people, but i don’t even like it when straight people are kissy and lovey dovey. gross. ok so this has been the longest story of my life… our day was basically a movie. good times.
