Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

How do they roll on the tarmac? Do you get much "buzz" from the knobs?

Marmite on toast, brings back childhood memories.

Today i am enjoying a cheap Euro exchang. Jamon Serrano, Manchego cheese and some lovely hepenheimer from the Carrefour.

^ I've got a feeling winter wasn't doing me any favors. Got two real emails the second it got above 40 degrees. I'd link the add but I got in trouble last time for trying to sneak it into the Craigslist thread.

Went to work, lost a good 30 minutes of my life by some goddamn sales reps trying to sell me...Earth Mama. Hemp flavored vodka.

You gotta kidding me. How many of you would actually buy it if you saw it on the shelf? A 750 would cost about 30 bucks.

I wouldnt say Im a stoner. I smoke about 2 times a week or so. Not much. But the thought of vodka+hemp flavor....Uhhh no thank you.

These vodka distillers are running outta ideas on how to sell their product.

If it was infused with it green dragon style then I say yes but just having it taste like it is lame sauce.

I rode home in the rain some jackass tried to cut me off even though I had the light, it's ok though I made it home safely and the lady in the car (his wife or girlfriend?) looked like she had had one too many facelifts and way to much alcohol in the course of her life. They didn't appreciate my giving them the stink eye at the red light "how dare that lower class scum look at me and my Mercedes SUV".

After some dry time and a little bike wipe I made some *****in' homemade vietnamese-y food and then came here.
