Sammajoor Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Maybe that is where all the confusion started. People were complaining about Barry and his pink MAGENTA boa. Somewhere along the lines it got jumbled up into being Burry and his kit. Damn broken telephone effect. There I fixed it :whistling:

JA-Q001 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 does anyone actually have a photo of the shirt in question, so we all can see what the fuss is about?
TimW Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Ooops, Burry just posted a tweet: @africanmtbkid sorry guys, I meant sanctioned. not disqualified
RudoJ Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 just saw this tweet from Burry: PATCHES, IT WAS ONLY ONE TWEET "sorry guys, I meant sanctioned, not disqualified" Blonde moment?

Tumbleweed Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Ooops, Burry just posted a tweet: @africanmtbkid sorry guys, I meant sanctioned. not disqualified Even more petty?
JA-Q001 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) ah, okei, see in road cycling it is stated that the SA champs jersey is a white jersey with one green and one gold/yellow stripe horisontally across the chest. So they bitch and moan because they think his shirt is prettier than the other champs jersey's just because and got dust in the face! Edited February 22, 2012 by JA-Q001

SwissVan Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 So what does "sanctioned" mean in the big picture?
kingalton Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 didnt George say something about Burry that he is a fat kid that wouldnt go anywhere? seem to remember something like that... HISTORY between them...
Tiny K Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 "Burry has worn that kit before, hasnt he?Why is that suddenly an issue" Its too colourful. Makes him look a peacock. I would complain too. Maybe it's because he blends in with the bush, so the competitors can't gauge how far behind they are.....
Tumbleweed Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Maybe it's because he blends in with the bush, so the competitors can't gauge how far behind they are..... The fynbos is colourful at this time of year...
LeTurbo Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) “In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white glare of publicity. Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. In art, in music, in industry, the reward and punishment are always the same. The reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. When a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few. If his work is mediocre, he will be left severely alone—if he achieves a masterpiece, it will set a million tongue a-wagging. Jealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist who produces a commonplace painting. Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slander you unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those who are disappointed or envious, continue to cry out that it cannot be done. Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big would have acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all. The little world continued to protest that Fulton could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam by. The leader is assailed because he is the leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof of that leadership. Failing to equal or excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy—but only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. There is nothing new in this. It is as old as the world and as old as human passions—envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. And it all avails nothing. If the leader truly leads, he remains—the leader. Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through the ages. That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserves to live — lives.” (It's a famous old Cadillac ad from 1915, when advertising still had depth, intelligence, and something meaningful to say.) Edited February 22, 2012 by LeTurbo
