Why is this thread allowed to flourish while the much better thread "Deer in the shower" was shut down in seconds?
Like the time there where multiple threads about shants and denim, and I started an "I like pants" thread, which was promptly locked. Fascists.

I sent a friend of mine a link to this thread, he replied thus:
Now I do feel that questioning the sanity of bikeforum and producing images like that do show signs of a rather incoherent, oxymoronic thought pattern, but I thought the images were too good not to share.
Also, I am sure you will all be pleased to hear that the original friend that inspired this thread when he called me weird for drinking beer in the shower has now (after reading this thread) seen the error of his ways and agreed to give it a go! - see bikeforum can change lives for the better...
...keep up the good work everyone!

disregarding any opportunity to query the sanity of spending time on bikeforum, I believe that for those without shelves or the necessary diy skills to erect said washroom protuberance, the attached shows that it is possible to enjoy the brewsky without the need for all that pesky shelfege; it also keeps your hair dry at the same time! fantastic!
sadly due to the constraints of work, and that googling through hundreds of ******* pictures started to raise quizzical looks amongst my colleagues, I was unable to complete the "ultimate shower" tableau.

It had been along time until this thread came along.
but then tonight... after two hours of intense cardio workout... and a short but cold and wet ride home...
I took a blazing hot shower, with three smooth cans of PBR... and my only sadness was that my bike couldn't share them both with me.
Maybe I'm just not trying hard enough.
But Iknow she was singing along to Hall & Oates in spirit.
"You're a rich girl, and you've gone to far"

way to make a silly thread stupid
