With a new rack, the Orange Crush looks, well, silly.

I disappear into the mists and will not return again until April 1. In the meantime, beware, beware. Houseboy lurks.

I don't know this person! How is it I don't know him? Has he been gone a really long time?
If he disappears in the mists and returns on April 1st, he'll probably be fun to play with! Does he only stay a day?

Come Houseboy! Come! Come out and play with solveg!!!!!
seriously... is he only here for a day? Do I have to be glued to my computer to meet him?
Unless this is him, and then I don't want to play with him:

We are doomed
Pardon me whilst I go and search for some very dark sunglasses. Maybe a welder's helmet.

Having Houseboy show up at Solveg's residence would be justice served.

That is* houseboy, isn't it!
Is this DG's bike butler? What's the back story?

Having Blackberry here (even for a brief moment) was a CLOSE SHAVE. 'Nuff said!

The backstory is that no one--not even me-self who has no taste whatsoever--would ever post a photo of houseboy in a format larger than a thumbnail. My retinas have burned out. You have killed me. My only consolation is that while you were advising DG to do his own bike repair, I knew all along he had Houseboy to do his bike repair for him. Nevertheless, you have killed me. Thank you. And good night.

I'll make it a thumbnail, if you tell me about Houseboy and Blackberry.
Edit: There, I deleted it on the assumption that someone will tell me what the hoopla is all about.
I did a search on blackberry, but he pretty much just posts in P&R, and I'm scared to go there. Is this part of the Diego thing, which I also missed?

Ask Webb Diego. If anyone can explain it, he can. But chances are he's in a bar somewhere south of the border trying to forget he ever stumbled into bikeforums.net

So is it Blackberry that just comes back for one day? Is HE fun to play with?

You must have had that "thumbnail" very close to your eyeball on a couple of those previous posts.

We can go back to talking about your rack positioning! That was fun, too!
Hah! Look what I found while looking for bike butler photos:

I thought about DG today, when I was at the big bike sale. They had a table filled with Topeak QR racks, all at 33% off. Could have purchased one with the bent arm for $30.

Speaking of April Fools...(and hijacked threads

If any of you are in Georgia on April 5th, I can guarantee you have never been to a ride with a better after-ride meal than my club's signature event.
